Our computer history continues, and we turn into a time machine to 1830, when the father of Computer invented the concept of the modern computer. Ready ... go.
Major step in the development of the next computer history occurred in 1830 when Charles Babbage decided to develop a machine that can help solve and print mathematical tables. Babbage was a mathematician who teaches at the University of Cambridge, England. He began planning a calculating machine called the Analytical Engine. The idea of such an amazing machine is very similar to the computers we know today. The system works is read from the hole cards (punch cards), calculate and store the answers of the various issues and then print the answers on paper. Babbage died before completing his machine. However, since a great idea and what has been done, Babbage is known as the father of Computer.
The next big step for the development in the history of computers came when Herman Hollerith entered the contest held by the U.S. census bureau. The contest was held to find someone who can develop a machine to calculate and record the information more quickly. Hollerith, a young man who worked at the firm that makes a machine known as the Machine Tabulation memaca and sort data from the hole card. The holes in the card in accordance with the above answers questions such as married, unmarried and divorced. Tabulator read every card at their leisure through a small brush. Every time a brush to find a hole, he was working on an electronic circuit. This will cause the system to add a special counter for the response data.
Thanks to the tools that the original census counting process takes 7.5 years can be shortened to only three years. Even with the 13 million respondents who have the time. Seeing the success of its findings, a Hollerith founded the company in 1896 Tabulation Machine which he sold in 1911. In 1912, the company changed its name to International Busines Machines or more ngetop now with the IBM name.
Well, we had a time machine to travel until early 1900. We already know about the origins of language, Pascal, and one of the largest companies in the field of computer that is IBM.
Well, we've seen how the history of the early concept of the computer starts. In this article we will look at the history of the first modern computer begins. Ready? Time Machine engage ....
History of the First Electronic Computer
History The first electronic computer was started by ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer). Versatile digital computer ENIAC was created in 1946 by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly. ENIAC has more than 18,000 vacuum tubes (which is used as a substitute for mechanical switches on the mark I) and 1000 times faster than Mark I. Within 20 seconds, the ENIAC could perform mathematical calculations actually require 40-hour turnaround time if done manually by us. ENIAC was built during World War II and the first task is to calculate the feasibility of a hydrogen bomb design. ENIAC was the computer along with a height of 100 feet to 100 feet.
Other Modern Computer History
In its history, a modern computer begins with the development of writing binary code made by John von Neumann. It was he who started the practice of storing data and instructions in binary code and initiate uses memory to store data and programs. A computer named EDVAC (Electronic Computer Dicrete Variable) is created using a binary code in 1950. Before EDVAC, seeprti ENIAC computer can only perform one task and then have changed the composition of the cord to do the job or another program. The concept of storing multiple programs at EDVAC hole cards instead of cabling the change process leading to the computers we know today.
Keep in mind that although today's modern computer is much faster and better than EDVAC its time, but the computer is not possible without knowledge and hard work of many inventors and pioneers. So yes not to forget the history of J.
Ok. Up here we had a time machine journey to explore the Computer History.
The next paper will tell you about the Future of Computer Development. Chek it out!
Once you understand about the history of computers, it is better if you improve your skills in the field of computers by learning various programming languages primarily related to web programming internet alias. I recommend that you read too many interesting tutorials about programming languages such as PHP, HTML, MySQL and VB. Of course this is still in prothelon.com. No need to everywhere.
You can also read the interesting article about the functions and Computer Applications, which will broaden their knowledge about computers and you are better prepared to face the teacher teaching you in school ato.
If you think the articles here interesting, share the same friends, your friends or put the link here from your web site or copy aja Prothelonians this paper, and be true that participated build IT Indonesia.
Hopefully useful.
