This website talks about how the Electrical Numerical Integrator and calculator was developed in the late 40's. It explains how the U.S military sponsored the project because they needed a calculating device for writing artillery-firing tables. J. Presper and J. Mauchly started their company and later they launched the Binary automatic computer that used magnetic tape to store data,which would later evolve into the computers we all know now.

I was confused on how the ENIAC worked and this site informed me about the history behind the computer. Its main purpose was actually to help the Military during the War and the Military Commision actually sponsored their research. However, they took so long to finish it that by the time they were done the war was over, so the Department of War found other uses for the new invention.

Possible new generation of computers. Optical technologies are starting to appear inside computers, something that researches have only dreamed about. This will not only improve our connections but also make them really fast. "It is being used to give ordinary PCs the ability to connect with other devices using high-speed optical cables at ten gigabits per second—20 times faster than a standard USB cable".

We can almost say that we depent on them and their software.

This article reports that Research In Motion will be unveiling a new BlackPad tablet computer which will have a seven-inch touch-screen, built-in cameras, and link wirelessly to cellular networks through BlackBerry smartphones. This is just one example of the current status of computer hardware and how it has changed and continues to evolve into a something far removed from the earliest computers to personal computers for home use to computers on the go. This is Blackberry's answer to Apple's iPad tablet computer which was released earlier this year.

It looks as though Moore’s law just might live on, even more than the speculated one to two more decades that our class text mentions. I remember reading about the possibilities of replacing silicon with carbon based Graphene, for much faster processing speeds, back in 2007 and really did not hear anything further about the idea/project. I’m glad I stumbled on this article since it does show that the idea is still alive and progressing, however slowly. If the story is correct, then Professor Xiangfeng Duan has taken a few of the technological roadblocks out of the way with an innovative technique for creating a Graphene transistor with self-aligned gates. As a result, the UCLA team was able to achieve a world record cutoff frequency of up to 300 GHz for a Graphene transistor.

a binary system uses only two digits "1" and "0", there's no 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9 in binary. like its name says is bi meaning two. a singke binary digit is called bit. binary nu,ber are counted different from decimal numbers. use a number two next to the binary number so people wont get confused with decimal numbers. to count binary number you will be adding a one or a zero to the left.

It is almost unbelievable how technology has advanced over these last centuries. Going from a huge big monitor to a thin multi-touch screen device one may use for entertainment or other technological necessities. The ipad becomes very handy to people who for example travel for business. if they need to get online,they can easily take out the ipad which is slightly smaller than a magazine and easily gain access with out having to take their laptop out which consumes more time and also takes out more space.

According to the Wall Street Transcripts the innovations on the hardware for the following years of the computers will be based on: 1. LED Backlingting: on the notebooks we will see LED backlighting building on the trend that was first used by Apple MacBookAir. The principal advantage of this technology is that it provides a thinner shape of the notebooks and more energy efficiency. Compared with fluorescent backlighting, and it is environment friendly specially at the time of dispose it. 2. 2. Notebook Displays: The form of the displays will be more compatible with the multimedia applications like DVD’S, on line TV, podcast videos, etc. Most models are transition to the 16:9 dimensions. 3. Touch Screens: This technology will be available in new models of notebooks. This will mean making the screen a third input device, above and beyond the mouse and keyboard, in some cases substituting them. This will change the way the notebooks are used for personal or business uses. To sum up, the hardware has evolved with the years and right now we can take advantage at available prices of the top technology that it is in the market.

This website explains supercomputers in a very simple language, and it mentions computers that we saw in the slides like the UNIVAC and MARK 1. Supercomputers according to this wesite are the ones that do mass computing at ultra high speed. For example, the Earth Simulator its made of 640 supercomputers that do trillion of operations per second and it is used to simulate enviroment behavior. It was amazing to find out how much work and money it needs to be invested to build these computers to predict weather or find oil. Its a very interesting website.

http://www.physorg.com/news193896845.html It deals with an article talking about a transistor that is the world’s smallest precision-built transistor. The article explains that this transistor is made up of only seven atoms in a silicon crystal. The impressive part is that this transistor actually works. The article explains that this is a huge step into a new age of supercomputers. Besides being super small, they will also be super-fast and super powerful. Made in a laboratory in Australia, this transistor was until now built because the devices requiring atomic precision capable of processing electronic inputs didn’t exist. This nano-transistor is four billionths of a metre long, practically a quantum dot, as defined in the article.

IBM has constructed one of the fastest super computers in the world. It's capacity is 120 petabytes (which equals 120 million gigabytes). This computer requires 200,000 hard drive discs to operate together to give it the ability "to hold about a trillion files." This may be the wave of the future for machines that store everything in the cloud. Right now companies that could use this kind of massive storage are involved in "weather and climate modeling as well as the petroleum and genetic research industries."

This website helped me grasp a better understanding about how many bits in a Byte and so on. The website also has a converter so you can play with it and type in numbers so you can Convert Bytes to Kilobytes to Megabytes to Gigabytes, and Vice Versa.

"...With the advent of everyday use of elaborate calculations, speed has become paramount to such a high degree that there is no machine on the market today capable of satisfying the full demand of modern computational methods. The most advanced machines have greatly reduced the time required for arriving at solutions to problems which might have required months or days by older procedures. This advance, however, is not adequate for many problems encountered in modern scientific work and the present invention is intended to reduce to seconds such lengthy computations..." From the ENIAC patent (No. 3,120,606), filed 26 June 1947.

The most popular type of tri-colour LED has a red and a green LED combined in one package with three leads. They are called tri-colour because mixed red and green light appears to be yellow and this is produced when both the red and green LEDs are on. The diagram shows the construction of a tri-colour LED. Note the different lengths of the three leads. The centre lead (k) is the common cathode for both LEDs, the outer leads (a1 and a2) are the anodes to the LEDs allowing each one to be lit separately, or both together to give the third colour.

We hear concepts such as nanosecond and microsecond everyday, but it is difficult to actually imagine what it means since it is so abstract. In this video, Grace Hopper, a computer science pioneer, explains that a nanosecond is one billionth of a second. She takes a piece of wire in order to demonstrate how far electricity can travel in one nanosecond. The length of the wire is 11.8 inches long and I found it amazing, but still difficult to even imagine such a rapid velocity. It is a simple term, but one that I never sat to attempt to comprehend and analyze. Hopper does an excellent job in illustrating such a complex subject.

As new developments in the study of quantum physics and computing technology continue to emerge, the newest generation of computing is right around the corner. Renowned NIST scientist, David Wineland, and Serge Haroche, a professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder, helped develop ways to influence individual atoms of light. This discovery will allow for computers to move from the binary age into the age of quantum computing where computers will no longer be bound to the ones and twos of binary but influenced by the laws of quantum physics. This will translate to amazingly fast computing speeds and the new era of computers.

This article mainly talks about the very 1st computers in our history and how they came about. The first computers used vacuum tubes and magnetic drums for memory and were extremely big (could actually can take up a whole room). They were also extremely expensive and not attainable for personal use. The 1st one was built in the 1940s. So far there has been 5 generations of computers. This article describes each generation and how they have evolved over time. This article helped me understand how computers have evolved and how they are still evolving.

COMPUTER GENERATION first generation of computer was incorporated during the second world war by Germany to build a war plane while also in England was used to crack German secrect codes and the mode of operation was the use of valves of about 1500 to 1800. Second generation was made ,and there was just a little change to the firtst generation and its mode of operation was the transistor instead of valves, these computer was used for calculation of great figures as well as sciencetific applications . Third generation computer was designed to suite a small piece of space and its mode of operation was based on silicon and its used large silicon integrated circuit. Forth generation computers was also designed to suite a small piece of space and its mode of operation was based on silicon of very large silicon integrated circuit ( VLSI) and ultra large silicon integrated circuit.(ULSI) Fifth generation of computer is the development of softwares to enhances computer works and its robotic applications.

Stratasys invented the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology over 20 years and its website does a great job at explaining the benefits of using this technology with thermoplastics manufacturing. Today, its being used by designers and engineers in nearly every industry such as aerospace, automotive, commercial, consumer, education, and military. Their applications specialization is in concept models, functional prototypes, end-user parts, and manufacturing tools. Stratasys explains how using FDM technology can accelerate design process, design improvement and communication, protoype design reduction costs, and functionality. By using FDM Technology, a manufacturer may have low-volume or custom plastic manufacturing and tooling, cost reduction, optimize designs, and save time.

This website gives a brief explanation as to what Random Access Memory (RAM) is. RAM is memory found in a computer and is used by programs in order to function in a computer. The website also talks about how there are two types of RAM: SRAM and DRAM. DRAM is more common because it is cheaper. SRAM is faster becomes it doesn't need to be refreshed like DRAM is. Finally, it talks about the difference between RAM and ROM. Both allow random access, but RAM is read-write when it comes to programs and ROM is only read and its purpose is for computer diagnostics. Also, there is much more RAM in a computer than there is ROM.

First Generation (1940-1956) Vacuum Tubes The first computers used vacuum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory, and were often enormous, taking up entire rooms. They were very expensive to operate and in addition to using a great deal of electricity, generated a lot of heat, which was often the cause of malfunctions. First generation computers relied on machine language, the lowest-level programming language understood by computers, to perform operations, and they could only solve one problem at a time. Input was based on punched cards and paper tape, and output was displayed on printouts. The UNIVAC and ENIAC computers are examples of first-generation computing devices. The UNIVAC was the first commercial computer delivered to a business client, the U.S. Census Bureau in 1951.

This article is about a company that just received $125,000 grant to create a 3D printer capable of taking ingredients and making a pizza on the space station. I guess we're not far from having food replicators at all.

The reference gives an elaborate and very informative look back at the history of the graphical user interface.

Some of the highlights include Xerox's and advancements through the 70's and 80's, Windows 1.0, and other interfaces to the present. It's fascinating how there were quite a few GUI's at first and now we really only hear about two major ones on PC's. The article was very informative.

If you thought you knew about these glasses, take a look at the way they are assembled in this great article. Many even would say this technology should not be legal, others disagree and say it is the future and we will have to adjust to it since they are so useful. these glasses have a built in computer and it has a screen that would fit in a dime coin! this proves how advanced computer hardware has went since size reduction and storage and capability expansion are primary goals. Also this site is a great source of technology news.

What amazes me is how airplane manufacturers can become infinitely more efficient with the use of these printers because as the article describes, "You only put material where you need to put material." This idea of additive manufacturing allows companies to use less and save tons more such as using carbon fiber materials to create airplane wings instead of the heavier and much more wasteful steel alternative. What raises concern is not only idea of someone using this technology for their own deviant agenda but the thought that many jobs will be replaced by a single machine.

Cloud computing has become one of the latest innovations in our century. I believe it has become a great resource for individuals and companies to store their information. They no longer have to be worried over losing information on a computer or on a backup disk, but rather they can have easy access to their information online. Also, this new innovation is a great source for many companies to increase their revenues by decreasing their cost on alternate backup software. Furthermore, the cloud is going to be in great demand which will result in an increase of revenues for companies who offer this service.

Within this website it explained the Binary System in simple terms. I looked up Binary Systems because I was still a little confused and this helped. It started out giving examples on how to count using Binary using an example of the Decimal system everyone already knows. One thing that really helped me was that when we get to 99 on a number line we move back to 1, then adding zeros. Likewise it is the same with the Binary System but consists of only the numbers 0 and 1. Overall, this website, although very basic, helps to understand the foundations of the Binary System.

I think that this website is very helpful because it is about the different types of how information is measured in computers and it explains in detail the Kilobytes, Megabytes, and Gigabytes. It gives real life examples of different data information that is stored in a computer, and it gives specific details about that data related to the units of measurement related to the computer. It explains in detail how many kilobytes made up certain documents and how does the letter font changes the space it takes up in a computer. In the megabyte section of the webpage, it gives real life examples to make the reader understand how is this measure different from the kilobyte. It also gives details about how can this measure be compressed in different storage devices, for example it says that an mp3 stores more audio than a CD because the megabytes are compressed and that larger files such as audio can fit into the mp3. The website demonstrates how each measure, either the Kilobytes, Megabytes or Gigabytes can be converted into another measure of the same group. In the last section on the text of the web page, it gives world problems related to the units of measure of computers and it also gives the solution for each problem.

The paper describes how the new digital computer regime had to start from structures of the old regimes, and only later on developed its own distinctive elements. It describes how specific changes in the existing computing regimes, particularly the increasing division of labour, the growing schematisation of computing activities and the development of more sophisticated punch card machinery, contributed to the design and programming methods of the digital computer.

As we all should be aware of, technology is taking over of our daily lives. The majority of things that would take us large amounts of time before can only take us a couple of minutes now thanks to technology. Programming languages caught by attention because I don't think people can imagine the work that goes into building software commonly used today. I went ahead and looked up the most useful programming languages to learn and found a great list. Top three programming languages listed to learn this year were Java,The C Programming Language, and C++. I have always had a personal interest in C++ because, like it says in this article, it is used in creating application software. Today, apps are a growing business. If there isn't an app to help you do something, the only thing that means is that there is a great opportunity for you.

On this website I found that a byte is compounded by 8 binary digits.The byte is the unit or the character most computers used such as a letter or a number.In the computer systems 4 bytes can compound a word so more bytes more words.In some products like Iphones we see for example 8MB and that means there is 8 million bytes that that phone. A byte is abbreviate with a B.

ed 17,468 vacuum tubes, along with 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, 1,500 relays, 6,000 manual switches and 5 million soldered joints. It covered 1800 square feet (167 square meters) of floor space, weighed 30 tons, consumed 160 kilowatts of electrical power. There was even a rumor that when turned on the ENIAC caused the city of Philadelphia to experience brownouts, however, this was first reported incorrectly by the Philadelphia Bulletin in 1946 and since then has become an urban myth. In one second, the ENIAC (one thousand times faster than any other calculating machine to date) could perform 5,000 additions, 357 multiplications or 38 divisions. The use of vacuum tubes instead of switches and relays created the increase in speed, but it was not a quick machine to re-program. Programming changes would take the technicians weeks, and the machine always required long hours of maintenance. As a side note, research on the ENIAC led to many improvements in the vacuum tube.

It is a very interesting website because it focuses on the history of computers. I learned with this website that the computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of many parts. Each of these parts were a separate invention and make up a computer. I very much enjoyed that it gives a very understandable history graph of different events through history of the computer.

In this article, I learned how to enable speech recognition on mac and Apple products. All laptops/computers have built in microphones. Mac's do not require you to buy the speech recognition, all you have to do is configure the settings and enable it. In this article, it explains step by step on how to turn on this function.

What is firmware? Frequently used programs which are permanently burned into ROM during manufacture. Which is used on the practice quiz and the legal term. Firmware is used to update existing applications that are out of date that could possibly be taken over by a virus or hacker of some sort. Also, it is a beta tested software that can be implimented with very little complications. Windows, microsoft office, and many more applications and operating systems require firmware updates. YOur daily use of phones require phone updates which is firmware. Even that game candy crush application needs updates. which is called firmware. Again, manufactures solve problems that are existing and include usually an online firmware update that gets all the bugs and kinks out of the system. Not 100% the time and sometimes creates more problems which require more firmware updates. Firmware is very simple to understand and it is used in our day to day lives. We gain knowledge every minute were in school and that can be considered human firmware. Get it? New updated information that can be leegal and valid works.

I think this article is interesting. I learned that it provides a unique number for every character no matter which one you use or what language it is used. The unicode eliminated the hundreds of different encoding systems assigned to these numbers and characters in general. Companies like Apple, HP, IBM, JustSystems, Microsoft, just to name a few used the unicode.

Film animation technology has come a long way since the early days of hand-drawn cartoons. The techniques used by animators to bring characters to life have improved dramatically over the years, and unlike traditional animation, which made its debut in 1906 and created the illusion of movement through frame-by-frame manipulation of drawings and illustrations, most animators today use computers to generate three-dimensional images.

A central processing unit is a piece of computer hardware that executes what a person commands of their machine. This is a vital piece of hardware as it acts as the brain of a computer. It is through the CPU that we are able to do arithmetic, logical, input/ output functions. Something that seems as simple as typing an email is more complex as the process begins and ends with the central processing unit. In short, our CPU makes our computer comands easy but the process is anything but. It is the components such as arithmetic logic unit, control unit, microprocessor, motherboard, and transitors that begin the process of our daily commands.
