The First Generation (1950s) The First Generation computers use
Punched card for input, Vacuum tubes for memory, and magnetic tape of storage.
Punched cards were used for input, although it accept magnetic tape. Power-hungry vacuum tubes provide the memory. Employee the stored-program concept, provide a supervisory typewriter for controlling the computer, and use magnetic tape for unlimited storage.
3
The Second Generation (early 1960s) The second Generation computers were created with
Transistors instead of vacuum tubes, there computers were faster, smaller and more reliable.
Use Punched card for input, had Printers, Tape Storage and Disk storage.
High-level programming languages were developed to enable programmer writing program instructions using English-sounding commands and Arabic numbers: COBOL,FORTRAN

Contd…
In 1959, an important development in business computing was General Electric corporation’s Electronic Recording Machine Accounting.
In 1963, an important development in business computing was ASCII, a character set that enables computers to exchange information.
5
The Third Generation (Mid 1960 to Mid 1970s)
Second-generation computer run only one job at a time, called batch processing was time-consuming and inefficient.
The key innovation in Third-Generation was timesharing to allow many people do the task simultaneously
User access computer remotely by terminals, using a keyboard and a video display.
6
Contd… The key technological event was the development of
computers based on IC, which incorporates many transistors and electronic circuits on a single silicon chip.
The earliest IC using a technology called small-scale integration (SSI) could pick up to 10-20 transistors on a chip.
By the late 1960s, engineers had achieved Medium-scale integration (MIS) could place 20-200 transistors on a chip.
In the early 1970s, Large-Scale Integration (LSI) was achieved to hold up to 5000 transistors.
7
Contd… Another important innovation was the development of
standard for CN. In 1960s the US Advanced Research Project Agency
(ARPA) has support to develop a wide are network (WAN). This project create a test network called ARPANET, which is the first generation of the internet.
In 1973, ARPANET fully implement the internet protocol (TCP/IP), the standards that enable the internet to work. Xerox corporation's Palo alto Research Center (PARC) develop the LAN, a direct-cable network that could tie in all computer in a building called Ethernet.
8
The Fourth Generation (1975-1991)
Development of VLSI that could place more than 5000 transistors on a single chip.
The world’s First Microprocessor :Intel 10004
The world’s First Microcomputer, which use microprocessor for CPU: intel 8080
9
Contd…
The IBM personal computer, with a microprocessor chip, intel 8080, made by intel corporation and operation system called MS-Dos was released in 1981.
The first microcomputers weren’t easy to use. To operate them, users had to cope with the computers’ command-line user interface. That’s why GUI is such an important innovation.
10
The Fifth Generation?
For years, experts have forecast that the trademark of the next generation will be Artificial Intelligent (AI), in which computer exhibit some of the characteristic of human intelligence.
11
Fifth Generation Computers Fifth Generation - Present and Beyond: Artificial
IntelligenceFifth generation computing devices, based on artificial intelligence, are still in development, though there are some applications, such as voice recognition, that are being used today. The use of parallel processing and superconductors is helping to make artificial intelligence a reality. Quantum computation and molecular and nanotechnology will radically change the face of computers in years to come.
The goal of fifth-generation computing is to develop devices that respond to natural language input and are capable of learning and self-organization.
12
Introduction to Computers
Computers are showing up everywhere you look.
They check out your groceries… They give you money at the ATM… They monitor your vital signs at the
hospital..
13
What is a computer?
A computer is an electronic device that runs programs.
Four basic functions:1. Accepts Data (Input)
2. Processes Data (Processing)
3. Produces Output (Output)
4. Stores Results (Storage)
We will explore these in the following slides
14
Some Beginning Terms
Hardware: The physical parts of the computer
Software: The programs that tell the computer what to do.
Data: Individual facts like first name, price, etc.
Default: the original settings; what will happen if you don’t change anything.
15
What makes a computer useful?
Speed: a computer can perform Billions of actions per second
Reliability: failures are almost always human errors, one way or another (that’s tough to hear!)
Storage: a computer can hold a tremendous amount of information in a small space.
16
What Are The Primary Components Of A Computer ?
Input devices. Central Processing Unit
(containing the control unit and the arithmetic/logic unit).
Memory. Output devices. Storage devices.

28
System Unit
The system unit is a case that contains electronic components of the computer used to process data• The processor (CPU) interprets and carries out the
basic instructions that operate a computer• Arithmetic/logic unit
• Memory (RAM) consists of electronic components that temporarily stores instructions waiting to be executed by the processor, data needed by those instructions, and the results of processed data

System Unit
30
Processing
This is the thinking that the computer does.
Calculations, comparisons, and decisions.
When this is done, a reaction is formed (output).
31
Machine Thinking
Machines have to think the hard way. One thing at a time, one step at a time. Complex procedures are broken down into
VERY simple steps. These steps are repeated hundreds, thousands,
even millions of times. Very systematic and logical. Hard for a computer to make conclusions.
32
Processing Basics: CPU
Central Processing Unit, where most of thinking is done. VERY small.
This is the “Chip”. Speed is measured in Megahertz (MHz) or Gigahertz (GHz), where 1 MHz = 1 million calculations per second.
Two of the most popular chip makers for PC: Intel & AMD (Athlon)
33
CPU’s Today
Intel Celeron D
Intel Core Duo/Core 2
Intel Centrino (Mobile)
AMD Athlon Turion
AMD Athlon 64
34
Processing Basics: Memory
Also referred to as RAM Mostly in form of chips fused to a card Measured in Megabytes (MB). Each “stick” increases how much your
computer can keep in active memory, “on it’s mind.”
Most computers have room for more RAM if needed.
35
Processing Speed
Both Memory and the CPU affect the overall speed of a computer.
Think of the CPU speed as a human’s IQ. Higher = faster thinking
Think of the RAM as human memory. A person with a better memory has to go back and look at information far less than an absentminded person.
These both increase speed and efficiency.
36
Output
“… Garbage Out.”
37
Output Devices
Output devices make the information resulting from processing available for use• An impact printer prints by striking an inked ribbon
against the paper
• Non impact printers form characters by means other than striking a ribbon against paper• Inkjet
• Photo printers
• Laser

39
Types of Output
Hard Copy: This is a tangible, usually printed product, like a printed report or ID card.
Soft Copy: This is displayed on a screen or by some non-permanent means, such as a computer screen, audio speakers, etc.
40
Printers – 3 basic types
Dot Matrix – very old and use a printer ribbon for ink.
Ink Jet – these are the most common and affordable today. Print line by line by spraying ink onto the paper.
Laser – These are the most expensive, largest, & heaviest. Much like photocopiers, printing a whole page at a time.
41
Display Devices
A display device is an output device that visually conveys text, graphics, and video information• Monitor
• Flat panel monitor
• LCD
• CRT

43
Monitors - Characteristics
Size: Desktop screens are usually 15 – 21 inches by diagonal measurement
Resolution: Determines how clear and detailed the image can be. Measured in Pixels, Width x height. (800x600, etc).
Refresh Rate – How often the picture is redrawn on the screen. If rate is low, may cause eyestrain or nausea. 75 Hertz or better is ideal.
44
Monitors - Types
CRT – Basic big monitor. Cheapest, but produce heat and are big and clunky
LCD Flat Panel – Thin, light, take up less space, less heat, but cost a lot $$$$$ (2-3 times the cost of a CRT)
45
CRT MONITOR - cathode-ray tube
46
Disadvantages of CRT They have a big back and take up space on desk. The electromagnetic fields emitted by CRT monitors constitute
a health hazard to the functioning of living cells. CRTs emit a small amount of X-ray band radiation which can
result in a health hazard. Constant refreshing of CRT monitors can result in headache. CRTs operate at very high voltage which can overheat system
or result in an implosion Within a CRT a strong vacuum exists in it and can also result in
a implosion They are heavy to pick up and carry around
47
Advantages of CRT The cathode rayed tube can easily increase the monitor’s
brightness by reflecting the light. They produce more colours The Cathode Ray Tube monitors have lower price rate than the
LCD display or Plasma display. The quality of the image displayed on a Cathode Ray Tube is
superior to the LCD and Plasma monitors. The contrast features of the cathode ray tube monitor are
considered highly excellent.
48
How CRTs work & display?
A CRT monitor contains millions of tiny red, green, and blue phosphor dots that glow when struck by an electron beam that travels across the screen to create a visible image. In a CRT monitor tube, the cathode is a heated filament. The heated filament is in a vacuum created inside a glass tube. The electrons are negative and the screen gives a positive charge so the screen glows.
49
LCDLiquid Crystal Display
50
Disadvantages of LCD After a while the LCD display the some of the pixels will die you
will see a discoloured spot on a black spot on the display. The cost of a LCD is considerably at a high price. The LCD display will have slow response times. The LCD display has a fixed resolution display and cannot be
changed. LCDs use analog interface making careful adjustment of pixel
tracking/phase in order to reduce or eliminate digital noise in the image.
The viewing angle of a LCD display is very limited due to the Automatic pixel tracking/phase controls.
51
Advantages of LCD Sharpness
Image is perfectly sharp at the native resolution of the panel. LCDs using an analog input require careful adjustment of pixel tracking/phase (see Interference, below).
Geometric Distortion Zero geometric distortion at the native resolution of the panel. Minor distortion for other resolutions because the images must be rescaled.
Brightness High peak intensity produces very bright images. Best for brightly lit environments.
Screen Shape Screens are perfectly flat.
Physical Thin, with a small footprint. Consume little electricity and produce little heat.
52
How does it work & display Liquid crystal displays work by the tiny pixels on the screen
showing more than 20,000,000 colours an LCD screen is a multilayered, sideways sandwich. A fluorescent light source, known as the backlight. This light passes through the first of two polarizing filters. The polarized light then passes through a layer that contains thousands of liquid crystal pixels arrayed in tiny containers called cells.
The cells are, in turn, arrayed in rows across the screen; one or more cells make up one pixel. Electric leads around the edge of the LCD create an electric field that twists the crystal molecule, which lines the light up with the second polarizing filter and allows it to pass through it.
53
Storage
For all that garbage.
54

Computer Software
Computer software is the key to productive use of computers. Software can be categorized into two types:
Operating system software Application software.
64
Operating System Software
Operating system software tells the computer how to perform the functions of loading, storing and executing an application and how to transfer data.
Today, many computers use an operating system that has a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides visual clues such as icon symbols to help the user. Microsoft Windows 98 is a widely used graphical operating system. DOS (Disk Operating System) is an older but still widely used operating system that is text-based.
65
Application Software
Application Software consists of programs that tell a computer how to produce information. Some of the more commonly used packages are:
Word processing Electronic spreadsheet Database Presentation graphics
