Brief Introduction of Computer – Wonderful Electronic Device


A Computer is a Programmable electronic device that can process, store and retrieve data. It processes data according to a set of instructions or program. It is a machine used as control systems for a huge variety of industrial and consumer devices. Wonderful Device can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically via computer programming. 

All Computers Consist of two basis parts software and Hardware. The Hardware is the physical part of the machine include central processing unit (CPU), monitor, mouse, keyboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, speakers and motherboard. Software is a set of instructions that tells the computer what to do. 

There are varieties of type of Computer such as micro, mini, mainframe, super, workstations, information appliances, embedded, public, personal, shared and display.

Computers are the great technological and scientific innovations. The computer has changed how we work, how we organize, and store information, how we communicate with each other and even the way that we can think about universe and human mind. Hundreds of millions of computers around the world serve us
in many ways, from helping us to write books to microwaving our food.

There are two distinct families of computing devices, namely, digital computers and the historical analog computer. The earliest computers ware analog not digital. These both computers operate on quite different principle.

A digital computer is a sequential device that generally operates on data one step at a time. The data are represented in binary format, and a single transistor is used to represents a binary digit in a digital computer.  An analog computer operates in completely different way to a digital Computer. The representation of data in an analog computer reflects the properties of the data that are being modelled.
