What are the application of computer in area of studies? What are the application of computer in area of studies? Computer applications are the software you’re probably the most familiar with using. They’re the programmes designed to carry out specific tasks, such as listening to music, sending emails, word processing, or putting together a spreadsheet for work. They differ from software like system and utility software, which are all about the operation and performance of the computer itself. Think about it this way: you likely know that your computer’s physical structure – its monitor, the keyboard, and really any piece of it that you can physically touch – is called the computer hardware.  You’ve then got the software, which ensures that your computer actually does something when you switch it on. System software, for example, is what tells the hardware how to work. Some of the best examples of system software are operating systems, such as Windows, MacOS and Linux, which suppor...

By Orimus BRIEFLY EXPLAIN THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER, DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER Actually speaking electronic data processing does not go back more than just half a centaury i.e. they are in existence merely from early 1940’s. In early days when our ancestor used to reside in cave the counting was a problem. Still it is stated becoming difficult. When they started using stone to count their animals or the possession they never knew that this day will lead to a computer of today. People today started following a set of procedure to perform calculation with these stones, which later led to creation of a digital counting device, which was the predecessor the first calculating device invented, was know as ABACUS. THE ABACUS Abacus Abacus is known to be the first mechanical calculating device. Which was used to be performed addition and subtraction easily and speedily? This device was a first develop Ed by the Egyptians in the 10th centaury B.C, but it was given it final shape in ...

 

What is a Computer? A computer is an electronic machine that collects information, stores it, processes it according to user instructions, and then returns the result. A computer is a programmable electronic device that performs arithmetic and logical operations automatically using a set of instructions provided by the user. Early Computing Devices People used sticks, stones, and bones as counting tools before computers were invented. More computing devices were produced as technology advanced and the human intellect improved over time. Let us look at a few of the early-age computing devices used by mankind. Abacus Abacus was invented by the Chinese around 4000 years ago. It’s a wooden rack with metal rods with beads attached to them. The abacus operator moves the beads according to certain guidelines to complete arithmetic computations. Napier’s Bone John Napier devised Napier’s Bones, a manually operated calculating apparatus. For calculating, this instrument used 9 separate ivory st...

  Computer History and Development Nothing epitomizes modern life better than the computer. For better or worse, computers have infiltrated every aspect of our society. Today computers do much more than simply compute: supermarket scanners calculate our grocery bill while keeping store inventory; computerized telephone switching centers play traffic cop to millions of calls and keep lines of communication untangled; and automatic teller machines (ATM) let us conduct banking transactions from virtually anywhere in the world. But where did all this technology come from and where is it heading? To fully understand and appreciate the impact computers have on our lives and promises they hold for the future, it is important to understand their evolution. Early Computing Machines and Inventors The abacus, which emerged about 5,000 years ago in Asia Minor and is still in use today, may be considered the first computer. This device allows users to make computations using a system of sl...
