Generation and Classification of Computers

Generation and Classification of Computers

Each machine has its own classification from the first to the present and the present is in the 5th.
The first generation of computers were vacuum tubes it was expensive and slow for it solves problems in milliseconds.
The second generation were transistors they were smaller and cheaper but still expensive was faster for their solving time was in microseconds
The third was IC(integrated circuits) was smaller and cheaper than the late generation for its computing time was in nanoseconds.
The 4th was microprocessors they are the most used today and they are fast for their computing time was in picoseconds  and it's faster.
The 5th is artificial intelligence it is very fast for the computer to have a mind of its own you require a large amount of memory and money.

How Software works with Hardware

The computer has its own data processing cycle for the computer to run smoothly.

Digitizing is required by the computer to understand the picture or the movie and they convert it to binary code.Also the computer cannot understand what you in the monitor if it does not digitize the picture.

The machine cycle is the cycle of the computer from the CPU to the input device to the memory or RAM and to the output while it is there it is processing the data by nanoseconds.

Also networking the connection of computers to a single point and vice versa.

How Software Works with Hardware

How Software Works with Hardware

         For the hardware to work it needs a software but the hardware has its own firmware. The hardware needs to have a platform of course there are different kinds of platform. Platform is the combination of the OS and the Processor and they work together to make the computer work. Also applications have their own specified platform for example Microsoft Windows does not work in Mac.  

Types of software

Types of Software

                 There are basically 3 types of software it is system, application, and programming which are important.

                

System Software:

                are the types of software required by the hardware to run and also other applications.For example the BIOS of the computer.

Application Software:

                are software that makes your work easier like word processors, for movies and music.Examples are Windows Media Player, VLC and etc.

Hardware Specifications

HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS

               it's the maximum capability of a computer basically it is how fast your computer goes.For example quad core I7 is faster than I5 for the maximum speed of I7 is faster than I5. It is also measured by GHz meaning gigahertz. Hertz is one unit of frequency that is in the SI.

Macros

MACROS

                     is a recording application in excel that doesn't let you to do a task that you use repeatedly.For example you want to capitalize a sentence you just press your designated coordinates for that certain task then boom it will do what you recorded it for.

LINE CHARTS

LINE CHARTS:

              it is a chart the represents data for a period of time it is best used in a chicken's growth per day or weekly.
