COMPUTER MEANING
 A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out sequences
of arithmetic or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern
computers have the ability to follow generalized sets of operations,
called programs. These programs enable computers to perform an extremely wide
range of tasks.
DEFINITIONS
 A computer monitor is an output device which displays information in pictorial form. A monitor
usually comprises the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply.
 A central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out
the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control
and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions.
 Computer speakers, or multimedia speakers, are speakers sold for use with computers, although
usually capable of other audio uses, e.g. for an MP3 player. Most such speakers have an internal
amplifier and consequently require a power source, which may be by a mains power supply often
via an AC adapter, batteries, or a USB port (able to supply no more than 2.5W DC, 500mA at 5V).
 A computer mouse is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative
to a surface. This motion is typically translated into the motion of a pointer on a display, which
allows a smooth control of the graphical user interface.
DEFINITION
 In computing, a computer keyboard is a typewriter-style device[1] which uses an
arrangement of buttons or keys to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches.
Following the decline of punch cards and paper tape, interaction via tele printer-
style keyboards became the main input method for computers.
 In computing, a printer is a peripheral device which makes a persistent human-
readable representation of graphics or text on paper.[1] The first computer printer
designed was a mechanically driven apparatus by Charles Babbage for
his difference engine in the 19th century; however, his mechanical printer design
was not built until 2000.[2] The first electronic printer was the EP-101, invented by
Japanese company Epson and released in 1968.[3][4]

A BRIEF COMPUTER HISTORY
 Brief History Of Computer. The computer as we know it today had its beginning
with a 19th century English mathematics professor name Charles Babbage. He
designed the Analytical Engine and it was this design that the basic framework of
the computers of today are based on. ... It was called the Atanasoff -
Berry Computer (ABC) ...
TOP 10 MEN BEHIND COMPUTER
1.Charles Babbage Died at 80 (1791-1871) Father
of Computing.
2.Claude Shannon Died at 85 (1916-2001) Wrote a paper in
'37 that showed that electrical application of Boolean
algebra could be used for computation (digital calculation).
3.Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS (/ˈtjʊərɪŋ/; 23 June
1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English computer scientist,
mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher,
and theoretical biologist.[2]
4.John von Neumann (/vɒn ˈnɔɪmən/; Hungarian: Neumann János
Lajos, pronounced [ˈnɒjmɒn ˈjaːnoʃ ˈlɒjoʃ]; December 28, 1903 – February
8, 1957) was a Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, computer
scientist, and polymath.
5.William Bradford Shockley Jr. (February 13, 1910 –
August 12, 1989) was an American physicist and inventor.
Shockley was the manager of a research group at Bell
Labs that included John Bardeen and Walter Brattain.
6.Douglas Carl Engelbart (January 30, 1925 – July 2, 2013) was an
American engineer and inventor, and an early computer and Internet pioneer. He is
best known for his work on founding the field of human–computer interaction,
particularly while at his Augmentation Research Center Lab in SRI International,
which resulted in creation of the computer mouse, and the development
of hypertext, networked computers, and precursors to graphical user interfaces.
7.Robert Norton Noyce (December 12, 1927 – June 3,
1990), nicknamed "the Mayor of Silicon Valley," was an
American physicist who co-founded Fairchild
Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel Corporation in 1968. He is
also credited (along with Jack Kilby ) with the realization of
the first integrated circuit or microchip that fueled
the personal computer revolution and gave Silicon Valley its
name.[1][nb 1]
8.Stephen Gary Wozniak (/ˈwɒzniæk/; born on August 11, 1950),[1]:18[9] often referred
to by the nickname Woz,[10][11] is an American inventor, electronics
engineer, programmer, philanthropist, and technology entrepreneur who co-
founded Apple, Inc.. He and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs are widely recognized as
pioneers of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s.
9.Grace Brewster Murray Hopper (née Murray;
December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992) was an
American computer scientist and United States Navy rear
admiral.[1] One of the first programmers of the Harvard
Mark I computer, she was a pioneer of computer
programming who invented one of the
first compiler related tools.
10.Vinton Gray Cerf[2] ForMemRS,[1] (/sɜːrf/; born June 23, 1943)
is an American Internet pioneer, who is recognized as one
of[7] "the fathers of the Internet",[8] sharing this title with TCP/IP
co-inventor Bob Kahn.[9][10] His contributions have been
acknowledged and lauded, repeatedly, with honorary degrees
and awards that include the National Medal of
Technology,[2]the Turing Award,[11] the Presidential Medal of
Freedom,[12] the Marconi Prize and membership in the National
Academy of Engineering.
