COMPUTER का आविष्कार किसने किया?

Who invented the computer-

जैसा कि हम जानते हैं कि 19 वीं शताब्दी में प्रसिद्ध गणित प्रोफेसर Charles Babbage ने Computer की शुरुआत की थी। ऐसे तो बहुत से लोगों ने इस Computing Field में अपना योगदान दिया है, लेकिन इन सब में से ज्यादा योगदान Charles Babbage का है. 1822 में उन्होंने Difference Engine का आविष्कार किया जिसे सबसे पहला Programmable Computer माना जाता है.

1833 में Charles Babbage ने Analytical Engine का आविष्कार किया जो कि एक General-Purpose Computer था| उनका योगदान सबसे ज्यादा है. तभी उनको कंप्यूटर के जनक के नाम से भी जाना जाता है|

  EVOLUTION OF COMPUTERS- The computers of today are vastly different in appearance and performance as compared to the computers of earlier days. But where did this technology come from and Where is it heading? To fully understand the impact of computers on today’s world and the promises they hold for the future, it is important to understand the evolution of computers.    1. The First Generation: The first generation computers made use of: Vacuum tube technology, Punched cards for data input, Punched cards and paper tape for output, Machine Language for writing programs, Magnetic tapes and drums for external storage.   2. The Second Generation: In the second generation computers: Vacuum tube technology was replaced by transistorized technology, Size of the computers started reducing, Assembly language started being used in place of machine language, Concept of stored program emerged, High level languages were invented.   3. The Third Generation:  The third...

Hardware and Software in Computer-

Image
The terms hardware and software are almost always used in connection with the computer.   •    The Hardware:   The hardware is the machinery itself. It is made up of the physical parts or devices of the computer system like the electronic Integrated Circuits (ICs), magnetic storage media and other mechanical devices like input devices, output devices etc. All these various hardware are linked together to form an effective functional unit. The various types of hardware used in the computers, has evolved from vacuum tubes of the first generation to Ultra Large Scale Integrated Circuits of the present generation.   •  The Software:   The computer hardware itself is not capable of doing anything on its own. It has to be given explicit instructions to perform the specific task. The computer program is the one which controls the processing activities of the computer. The computer thus functions according to the instructions written in the...

What is computer?

Image
What is computer : The word computer is derived from the word compute . Compute means to calculate. The computer was originally defined as a super fast calculator. It had the capacity to solve complex arithmetic and scientific problems at very high speed. But nowadays in addition to handling complex arithmetic computations, computers perform many other tasks like accepting, sorting, selecting, moving, comparing various types of information. They also perform arithmetic and logical operations on alphabetic, numeric and other types of information. This information provided by the user to the computer is data . The information in one form which is presented to the computer is the input information or input data . Information in another form is presented by the computer after performing a process on it. This information is the output information or output data.
