Historical development of computer
Sunday, May 27, 2012
Article discusses the historical development of the computer can not be separated from the discovery of human invention since time immemorial in the form of mechanical or electronic means. Computers are commonly used today is a long evolution from the previous computer since it was first created in which the computer is very limited due to the use and usefulness has not been commercialized and memerlukam special skills to operate it.
Yet the history of computer development has not stopped even several times in each generation and evolution of each generation shows the differences that really stand out as technology advances which strongly supports the development of the computer itself.
If we look at the flashback trip computer development history of each generation, the computer can be classified into 4 groups based on the tools used to create a computer as a data processing equipment, namely:
Computers using manual equipment, the intent of the computer according to the origin of the word here is "to compute" by using data processing equipment is very simple to use hand held power tools such as the traditional count, known as the abacus
Computer by using mechanical equipment, namely a simple computing system using mechanical equipment that has been shaped and driven manually
Electronic Mechanical Equipment: In this section the history of computers have been using mechanical devices that move automatically by using the principle of electronic motors and the operator to perform control operations
Electronic equipment: Computer equipment in which the electronic data processing work as usual we meet at this time
Historical development of computers from the beginning until now
historical development of computer
historical development of computers from the beginning until nowHistory of Computers First Generation 1940 - 1959
In 1946 Dr. John Mauchly and Presper Eckert managed to create the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator) and EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) which is pertamadengan generation computer using vacuum tubes are in the process pengembangannnya as a forerunner to the creation of the UNIVAC I computer (the first computer used for commercial data processing) [more]History of the Second Generation Computers (1959-1964)
Second-generation computers also come with the use of transistors and diodes to replace the use of vacuum tubes that make computers smaller sizes (mini computer). in this second generation has known magnetic memory storage media and have used high-level languages such as Cobol and Fortran language to interact with machines replacing the elusive [more]History of the Third Generation Computers (1964-1990)
In the third generation of the smallest type of computer and microcomputer has emerged as the popular Apple II, IBM PC and Sinclair. In terms of size much smaller because the technology is used to replace Chip began as a program logic transistor computer. Variannt any other programming language that has emerged as BASIC, Pascal and PL / 1 [more]History of Computers The Fourth Generation (1990's)
Along with the development of chip technology that can be used to process and store the memory of the processing can be done more precisely, to the millions of bits per second. This chip technology advances have ushered in the history of the computer up one level to the creation of Supercomputer [more]History of the Fifth Generation Computer
The fifth generation in the history of computers is a dream of the future computers of that era. It is expected that the computer can do more processing units that function together to accomplish more than one task at a time (multi-function and multi tasking). Artificial intelligence / artificial kecerdasa fully controlled by a computer to be a priority in this generation [more]
