A computer that performs calculations and logical operations with quantities represented as digits, usually in the binary number system of “0” and “1”.

known as the first computer, it uses several rows of beads to represent numbers; each row stands for a place value and the arrangement of beads in a row stands for a digit

Young French Mathematician - Invented one of the first gear based adding machines (Pascaline Calculator, Mechanical Calculator, Adding Machine) to help with enormous amount of calculations involved in the computing of taxes

English Mathematician - Unveiled the first phase of his envisioned. Difference engine which also used ten-position gears to represent decimal digits. (Computer, Difference Engine, Analytical Engine)

One of the few people who understood the Analytical Engine’s enormous potential. - She described the similarity of Jacquard’s and Babbage’s inventions.

Required physically moving and interconnected parts. Such a device is almost certain to be slower, more prone to failure, and more difficult to manufacture than a device that has no moving parts.

such as vacuum tubes of the sort used in early radios have, by definition, no moving part

IT includes the physical parts of a computer.

It is typically directed by the software to execute any command or instructions.

encloses most of the components of the system.

It provides mechanical support and protection for internal elements such as the motherboard, disk drives, and power supplies, and controls and directs the flow of cooling air over

converts alternating current (AC) electric power to low-voltage direct current (DC) power for the computer.

Displays the image or video information that is generated by the computer through Video or Graphics Card.

Is the main component of a computer. It is a board with integrated circuitry that connects the other parts of the computer including the CPU, the RAM, the disk drives (CD, DVD, hard disk, or any others) as well as any peripherals connected via the ports or the expansion slots.

It is the chips in a computer typically contains billions of tiny metal oxide semiconductior field effect transistors (MOSFETs).

it performs most of the calculations which enable a computer to function, and is referred to as the brain of the computer

It includes the north bridge and mediates communication between the CPU and the other components of the system

It stores the code and data that are being actively accessed by the CPU.

it stores the BIOS that runs when the computer is powered on or otherwise begins execution, a process known as Bootstrapping, or "booting" or "booting up.

Part of a computer that stores data ; Reads and writes datas on a computer.

Same as the HDD. Is a new generation of storage device used in a computer. Way much faster than HDD.

It includes boot firmware and power management firmware.

Newer motherboards use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)

it connects the CPU to various internal components and to expand cards for graphics and sound.

it is what the battery is made of , which powers it for date and time in the BIOS chip.

This battery is generally a watch battery.

it processes computer graphics.

More powerful _____ are better suited to handle strenuous tasks, such as playing intensive video games or running computer graphics software.

it make up the voltage regulator module (VRM), which controls how much voltage other hardware components receive.

is a printed circuit board that can be inserted into an expansion slot of a computer motherboard or backplane to add functionality to a computer system via the expansion bus.

_______ is any computing hardware and digital media that is used for storing, porting and extracting data files and objects

the use of recording media to retain data using computers or other devices

Data is stored by a computer using a variety of media.

Stored in HDD or SDD

To transfer data between computers, an external flash memory device (such as a memory card or USB flash drive) or optical disc (such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or BD-ROM) may be used

allows the user to enter information into the system, or control its operation.

any hardware device used to send data from a computer to another device or user. Usually, most output peripherals are meant for human use

Used to enter data into the computer using a set of keys.

It contains three types of keys, alphanumeric keys, special keys, and function keys.

is a small device used to point to and select items on your computer screen. Mouse typically has two buttons, a primary button and secondary button.

a device that capture an object directly from the source.

are devices that reads data directly from source document and convey them as input in the form of electronic signal.

It reads data using magnectic ink. Uses principle of magnetism to sense data which have been written using magnetized ink.

The first computer that has been invented. It occupied about 1,800 square feet

it means " the duration computer system requires in fulfilling a task or completing an activity "

the level of precision which calculations are made and tasks are performed.

is the quality due to which the user can stay dependable on the computer. Computers systems are well-adjusted to do repetitive tasks

the quality of the computer to complete a different type of tasks : simple as well as complex.

is the ability of the computer to store data in itself for accessing it again in the future.

LIMITATIONS OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS
They are unable to see and think the actions to perform in a particular situation unless that situation is already programmed into them. Computers are programmable to complete each and every task, however small it may be.

LIMITATIONS OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS
is a complicated process involving information, knowledge, intelligence, wisdom, and ability to judge. The computer system does not have the ability to make decisions on their own because they do not possess all the essentials of decision-making.

Are the most high performing system.

It is a computer with a high level of performance compared to a general-purpose computer.

Commonly called as big iron. They are usually used by big organizations for bulk data processing such as statics, census data processing, and transaction processing

much cheaper price than the main frames. Designed for control, instrumentation, human interaction, and communication.

s small, relatively inexpensive computer with a microprocessor as its CPU.

are nothing but dedicated computers which are set-up to offer some services to the clients.

They are named depending on the type of service they offered. Example: security server, database server.

Those are the computers designed to primarily to be used by single user at a time. They run multi-user operating systems. They are the ones which we use for our day to day personal / commercial work.

They are the portable devices which are designed to perform a limited set of tasks like basic calculations, playing multimedia, browsing internet etc. They are generally referred as the mobile devices.

They are the computing devices which are used in other machines to serve limited set of requirements.

is a form of computer that uses the continuously changeable aspects of physical fact such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities to model the problem being solved.

A computer that processes both analog and digital data ; is a digital computer that accepts analog signals, converts them to digital and processes them in digital form.
