Computer History, computer architecture, size, processing power & types of computers

          This week, we learned about computer history and all I mention above. Seriously, I really-really understand about this topic because I’ve learned about this topic before this at the first semester with Miss Nisha. So, like usually, about generation of the computer. From first generation to this generation.  From ENIAC, UNIVAC, Transistor, Integrated Circuits (IC), Personal Computer (PC), until this nanotechnology era.  Computer architecture refers to those attributes of the computer system that are visible to a programmer and have a direct effect on the execution of a program.





             Then, from processing power, speed measured in hertz (Hz) and capacity in bytes (B). 1 byte equal with 8 bits. Embedded computers, mobile devices, PC, midrange, mainframes and supercomputers can categories of computers. After that, I learned about system units just like mother board, CPU, processor, Central Processing Unit & main memory. As all you know, main memory or storage just like Pen drive, Hard Disk, Memory card, RAM and Rom, we can see that on CD-Rom, hard Disk or anything can categories as a memory. But, ROM (non-volatile) much better that RAM because we can lose memory from RAM (Volatile) if power is turned off. Furthermore, in this topic, input and output also can categories as hardware. In Input there were many examples. Just like keyboard, mouse, pointing devices, game controller, digital cameras, voice input, and video output, and terminal, biometric and Optical scanner! Scanner can read bar code, radio frequency identification (RFID) and magnetic strips card readers. Meanwhile, from output display services, printers, plotter and other output devices like audio output device, data projector and force feedback. That what I understand from slide and what Mr. Azam teaches us.
