The History of Computers have been around for

The History of Computers have been around for not that long at all but the first one was made in 1936.

The First Computer The computer was made in 1936 made by Konrad Zuse. He was a construction engineer for the Henschel Aircraft Company in Berlin, Germany at the beginning of WWII. Konrad Zuse earned the semiofficial title of "inventor of the modern computer" for his series of automatic calculators, which he invented to help him with his lengthy engineering calculations. The first computer had no bites of anything it just had milibites which are too small for anything to hold.

10 Important Events n n n n n 1 Jun 1936 Konrad Zuse invents Z 1 computer, the first freely programmable computer. 1 Jun 1947 John Bardeen, Walter Brattain & William Shockley invent the transistor which greatly effected the history of computers. 1 Jun 1951 John Presper Eckert & John W. Mauchly, UNIVAC, first commercial computer able to pick presidential winners. 1 Jun 1962 Jack Kilby & Robert Noyce, invented the Integrated circuit, aka the chip. 1 Jun 1983 The first home computer with GUI. 1 Jun 1964 Douglas Engelbart invented the first mouse to work with windows. 1 Jun 1971 Faggi, Hoff & Mazor, the first microprocessor. 1 Jun 1985 Microsoft begins the friendly war with Apple. 1 Jun 1969 the original internet. 1 Jun 1901 Pingla invented the binary system that serves as the foundation of computing systems the world over (300 BC)

Computer Terms n 1 Bit = Binary Digit · 8 Bits = 1 Byte · 1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte · 1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte · 1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte · 1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte · 1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte · 1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte · 1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte

Definition for Ram n Pronounced ramm, acronym for random access memory, a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly; that is, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computers and other devices, such as printers.

First Laptop and Founder of it n The laptop was invented by Adam Osborne in 1981. It was called 'Osborne 1' and cost $1, 795. It came bundled with $1, 500 worth of programs. It had a tiny computer screen built into it. It was invented by Osborne Computers.

Trojan Horse n A destructive program that masquerades as a benign application. Unlike viruses, Trojan horses do not replicate themselves but they can be just as destructive. One of the most insidious types of Trojan horse is a program that claims to rid your computer of viruses but instead introduces viruses onto your computer.

Worm n A program or algorithm that replicates itself over a computer network and usually performs malicious actions, such as using up the computer's resources and possibly shutting the system down.

Virus n A program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. Viruses can also replicate themselves. All computer viruses are manmade. A simple virus that can make a copy of itself over and over again is relatively easy to produce. Even such a simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt. An even more dangerous type of virus is one capable of transmitting itself across networks and bypassing security systems.

Computer Future n I think in the future of computers will be very great. I also think that they might take over our lives and cause an epidemic. I hope that this will not happen.
