Computer:

A computer is an electronic device that manipulates information, or data. It has the ability to store, retrieve, and process data

History:Charles Babbage, an English mechanical engineer, originated the concept of a programmable computer.

He is considered as the "father of the computer", he conceptualized and invented the first mechanical computer in the early 19th century

The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first electronic programmable computer built in the US.

Electricity An Introduction

What is Electricity? Electricity is generated from the

motion of tiny charged atomic particles called electrons and protons!

Protons = + Electrons = -

neutron

proton

Types of Sources used to make Electricity

Thermal Geothermal Nuclear Hydroelectric Solar Wind

How do we get Electricity?

Energy from one of the sources is converted by machines at the power plant to Electricity and then put onto the Electric Power Grid

Electric Power Grid• Power Plants• Transmission Lines• Substations• Power Lines• Transformers• Electrical Wiring and Circuit Box

Pictures of each piece of the Power Grid!

Life without Electricity---!!!

How would you prepare your lunch? How would you wash clothes? When would you go to bed?

Think about all the luxuries the discovery of Electricity has brought us!• No Television• No Radio• No Lights
