3. History of
Computers
Key Figures in Computer History
CharlesBabbage: Known as the "father of the computer,"
he conceptualized the first automatic mechanical
computer, the Analytical Engine.
AlanTuring: Known for the Turing Machine, a theoretical
model for computation, and his work on breaking the
German Enigma code during World War II.
JohnvonNeumann: His architecture (the Von Neumann
architecture) laid the foundation for most modern
computers.

4. Types of Computers
Desktop Computers: These are stationary computers typically used in offices,
homes, or schools
Laptops: Portable computers with built-in screens, keyboards, and batteries.
Tablets: Compact, touch-screen devices that combine features of both
computers and smartphones.
Workstations are high-performance computers that require significant
computational power, such as scientific research, graphic design, video editing,
and 3D rendering.
Mainframe computers are large, powerful machines used by large organizations,
governments, and corporations.

5. Types of Computers
Supercomputers These are the most powerful types of computers, designed to
perform extremely complex calculations at high speeds.
Embedded Computers These are small, specialized computers embedded
within other devices. They are often designed to perform a specific task and are
usually not visible to the user.
Servers: Provide services to other computers on a network.
Quantum Computers: Cutting-edge machines based on quantum mechanics.
Hybrid Computers: Combine analog and digital technology for specific
applications.
Cloud-Based Computers: Provide computing resources and services over the
internet.
