    Extractions: History of Computers The computer is a fascinating device. In its relatively short history it has transformed the world in a manner not achieved by any other machine. It has revolutionised our lives, our schools, our businesses and our industries - sometimes for the good, sometimes for bad. It is difficult to say just when the first computer appeared unless we start to define what we mean by the word "computer". Depending on your definition, computers were invented thousands of years ago or only 30 years ago. It all depends on how you choose to look at them. This section of the site gets you to look at the computer and its history and see what a wild ride it has sometimes been. Accidental_ Empires Did you know...? The phrase "finding a bug in the computer" originates from the early valve based computers. The valves used to give off heat and light, attracting moths and bugs into the machines. Occasionally a bug would get caught in amongst the valves, shorting out the machine and causing it to shutdown. Here is a picture of the world's first computer bug...

43. Around 1976 The Personal Computer
    The History of Computers, by Charles R. Hague. Around 1976 the Personal Computer, or “PC” as it was instantly labeled, was born.

    Extractions: The History of Computers, by Charles R. Hague Around 1976 the Personal Computer, or “PC” as it was instantly labeled, was born. The first computer you could just walk into a store and purchase was a TRS-80 Model I. It sold for about $700 and included a black and white monitor, keyboard, and a cassette tape recorder for storing programs and data. It had a memory capacity of a whopping 4K – about one full page of a text or 4,000 characters. Given that this computer was “state of the art”, I think it is reasonable to compare it to today’s state of the art PC. Comparing the TRS-80 to a modern PC: The TRS-80 Model I had a Black and white screen with a resolution of 64 X 48 "pixels". It had 4,000 characters of memory to hold programs and data. Storage of data and programs was on a cassette tape drive that was very slow, limited in storage space and sequential. Ability to upgrade was essentially non-existent. An optional printer allowed for crude black and white printing of text only. A modern PC has full color flat LCD screens taking up a fraction of the space while providing significantly larger displays. Capable of displaying millions of colors and resolutions in excess of 1,600 X 1200 are common. The computer itself typically has upwards of a gigabyte of memory, 128 additional megabytes for video memory. 100 gigabyte hard disks that operate at blinding speeds as well as DVD-ROMs that can also be written to. Today you can, for about $2,500, purchase a computer that I believe will have more computing power than all computers prior to 1976 combined! If you purchased a $300 computer today it would by itself, have more computer power than all the computer components of the Apollo space program – combined!

Q) It seems that the boom of computer technology nowadays becomes irresistible and a lot of our children/minors are potentially using this medium in roaming to some sort of sexually motivated area and because of no ominous law prohibiting them from getting into these media. Computer games also are most preferred by the students rather than study their lessons. And most of their time is being utilized in computer rather than family and social activities. Respect of parents, elders and even teachers is lessen. A) Of course yes. The computer technology has put our morality and social responsibility upside down. Why blame children, anybody got acquainted with computer and more particular the Internet, has bleak future in respect of family and social life. We are not sure where we are heading but it seems that it is becoming a rat race until or unless something is done. My wife use to complain that her female friends and relatives are too busy with computer even to talk to her when she visits them. Now that she herself got taste of the computer games (from our daughters), she is slowly being devoured by the system itself and hardly moves away from that machine.

    Extractions: Enter your search terms Submit search form The development of the modern day computer was the result of advances in technologies and man's need to quantify. The abacus was one of the first counting machines. Papyrus helped early man to record language and numbers. Some of the earlier counting machines lacked the technology to make the design work. For instance, some had parts made of wood prior to metal manipulation and manufacturing. Imagine the wear on wooden gears. "Computer" may be defined as any programmable electronic device that can store, retrieve, and process data. The basic idea of computing develops in the 1200's when a Moslem cleric proposes solving problems with a series of written procedures. As early as the 1640's mechanical calculators are manufactured for sale. Records exist of earlier machines, but Blaise Pascal invents the first commercial calculator, a hand powered adding machine. Although attempts to multiply mechanically were made by Gottfried Liebnitz in the 1670s the first true multiplying calculator appears in Germany shortly before the American Revolution. In 1801 a Frenchman, Joseph-Marie Jacquard builds a loom that weaves by reading punched holes stored on small sheets of hardwood. These plates are then inserted into the loom which reads (retrieves) the pattern and creates(process) the weave. Powered by water, this "machine" came 140 years before the development of the modern computer.
