Building Your Own Computer
1. Building Your Own Computer
For the purpose of my research project, I wanted to build a computer suited to my needs. Due to lack of funds I was unable to purchase the parts I
wanted. To work around this obstacle I took apart my own computer and rebuilt it to learn the process of building a computer. Throughout this
research outcome I will explore the processes I used and will discuss important matters to consider. I will also reference information that will help
you build your own computer. The Australian Bureau of Statistics states that since 2013, 83% (7.3 million) of households have internet access.
This means at least 83% of households have access to some form of computer influenced technology even if it isn't computer (smart phones,
tablets). Being able to build your own computer will save you money as well as giving while having control on your PC's performance. Desktops
may not be portable but are great if you want more performance for your price. Deciding what parts to use when building your computer may be a
long process. For me deciding the parts for my next computer that I want to build took longer than taking apart and putting together my current
computer. I believe this is because there are so many uses for computers and everyone has a different budget and goal in mind. If the goal is to build
a computer for basic word processing you can save money without much loss of performance in your work. If you wanted to play all the latest games
at their highest setting you may even have to start

3. A Career as a Computer Programmer Essay
Becoming a computer programmer would be great because there are many options in this career by having the ability to produce an operating system,
or a game for the world. Computer programmers have many opportunities in life to find a job they would love. Programmers can work independently,
or in a big company. Programmers have and are creating the future for computers.
Computer programmers have a wide range on what they can do. Computer programmers write the detailed list of instructions the computer will follow
in the software (Great Sample Resume). This is also called "coding." Programmers test their software, or other peoples, to see if it works properly

The programmer will either have to go to the business or the home in some sort of transportation, or by using his own computer. If the programmer is
working on certain software for his clients, then he may have built it in a way to assist them from his computer.
All jobs need some sort of qualifications to work at that specific job. As a programmer, the person may not go very far if they only have a high
school degree. Most employers require programmers to have at least a bachelor's degree (Education Portal). Some higherâranking jobs may even
require a master's degree (Education Portal). Some qualifications may be as simple as having a certain amount of experience (Education Portal). With
an advanced degree and certain knowledge, a programmer could become a software engineer (Education Portal). Certain employers and jobs may want
the programmer to have great technical skills, and programming needs in the businesses (Education Portal).
Other than going to school and getting a degree, employers may want more experience and more skills then the programmer may have. During
college the programmer most likely spent an abundant amount of time programming for class and maybe some of their own projects. The
programmer may get an internship and be supervised so they will eventually get the experience they need (Education Portal). Later down the road in
life they my need more experience to get a higher up job. Experience and maybe more

electroâmechanical computer device (2). Zuse completed the Z3 computer in 1941. The model consisted of recycled materials that were donated by
his fellow university staff and some of his students (2). This was the world's first electronic, fully programmable digital computer (2). Zuse used old
movie film to store his programs and data for the Z3, instead of using paper tape or punched cards; but unfortunately paper was in short supply in
Germany during the war (2). Also Zuse was unable to convince the Nazi government to support his work for a computer based on electronic valves,
the Germans assumed they were close to winning the War and thought that they had no need to support any of Zuse's further research in computer
technology (2). Unfortunately for Zuse his Z1 through Z3 models were destroyed during the war, and later Zuse left for ZĐŃrich to finish his work on
the Z4, by smuggling the Z4 from Germany in a military truck (2). He completed and installed the Z4 at the Applied Mathematics Division of ZĐŃrich's
Federal Polytechnical Institute (2). Zuse later moved back to Germany to form a computer company called Zuse KG for the construction and
marketing of his designs. Zuse later rebuilt models of the Z3 in 1960 and rebuilt the Z1 in 1984 (3).

It is essentially the brain of the computer and though it is the main determining factor in the processing power of the computer as a whole, many other
parts of the machine are just as important in overall performance. Many people don't know this and that is how computer corporations have cheated
people out of their money for so many years by selling them cheep systems with high megahertz numbers for the processors in them. This is one
reason for the success of the computer industry. When people find out that they have been cheated, they will try to learn more about the product and
probably end up spending more money next time. Either way the computer companies always win. A career in the field ofcomputer science has been
proven to be a worthwhile direction for any young enthusiast and this tren is looking just as bright in the new millenium. Computer science and
technology has much to offer in anyone of its many career paths. Whether working with a large multinational corporation or a smaller private company
on computer hardware or software in engineering or programming, the possibilities and opportunities are endless and are increasing everyday. One
reason the computer industry is so promising is that virtually every industry in the world depends on computers to operate. This creates an increasingly
large and permanent demand for computer hardware, software, and the technical knowledge to create and use them. Computer games have

electrical energy, we can simplify our daily lives by only clicking on the mouse and typing on the keyboard. There are many types of computers
nowadays. Huge and powerful computers are employed by governments and businesses to perform complex tasks and to store data. Computers are

The trend of shopping has also changed with the presence of computers. If before we had to go to the mall to purchase some goods, now we can
merely buy them at home. A lot of choices are also available online, as many as a shop has. More people feel that it is unnecessary to buy goods at the
mall if they can just purchase them in front of their computer. As a result, many shops at the mall are going bankrupt and closing down their businesses.
Moreover, since the online shopping is fast and easy, people will tend to be addicted at it. They will shop as much as they want, without concerning the
budget they have. In the long term, the inflation on society will arise because the demand from customers is higher than the supply.
In the aspect of communication, computers connect us to the world, and create a world without boundaries. Rather than communicating by snailâmail
that requires a week or more, we can send and receive email to anybody in this world within a few seconds. A person may interact with other people
online or create an online date without feeling shy. Thus, computers can tighten the bond between people in a simple way. However, the relationship
between people in the real world may be lost as people become dependent a lot on virtual communication. The relationship between people and family
will be loosened, and the interaction with neighbors will be lost. Since computers

errors, the computer will auto detect your wrong spelling or grammatical errors and help you fix them fast. Also, computers give you a large variety
of ways you can display the information you are trying to portray. An example of that would be PowerPoint. PowerPoint is a program that gives you
many different options to make your message appealing and satisfying. You can change the backgrounds, fonts, text boxes, even the way your slide
transitions to the next slide. The possibilities of this program are endless. Also, computers can increase productivity by the kind of computer you use
to present your work with. After you have made the best presentation in the history of presentations, you need to prove yourself. You can use your
smart phone or tablet to display the information you want to display on the projector or screen without being physically connected to the computer. I

late 1930s and the early 1950s. Not all of them were invented by the mathematician or physician. Among those machines were pioneering computers put
together by english academics notably Manchester/Ferrenti Mark 1, built at Manchester University by Frederic Williams and Thomas Kilburn. And the

11. Descriptive Essay On A Computer
I've always loved using computers. Ever since I was 6 years old I could never stop using them when I got the chance, and this remains true till
today. I admit the things that I would do on a computer weren't exactly productive. I would watch a lot of cartoons and play games. My parents
weren't as enthusiastic about it as I was. They would always tell me to go do something like read a book or go outside. I almost never follow
through with their requests and so I got grounded often. But to me it was worth it. My parents gave up trying to get me off the computer, which
is why I'm the computer addicted person I am today. When I turned 14 I became a lot more productive when it came to using a computer. I didn't
play educational games or grind on "Khan Academy" for endless hours. Instead I learned programming languages and created some things that I
was proud of. I've created a website that makes calls to a server in which I post and request data, a game called "Anvil Dropper", and most recently,
an artificially intelligent duck that helps keep track of who is coming in and out of a facility. All of this sounds like a lot of work but to me
personally, I never saw it as work. It was just simply fun. If you don't know already, sitting down and being on a computer for about ten hours a day

If the individual cannot afford to own a computer or pay for internet service, then his or her computer skills will suffer or be nonexistent. Although
you will have to be going through some rough times to not be able to afford a computer and internet service, it does not mean that there aren't
people out there living with this reality. Not being able to find a job to help pay for it, or not being able to attend a college to better the situation
are some of the possible consequences of being computer illiterate in 2017. Having flexibility with the time in your life can be beneficial for
someone with financial struggles when you are trying to balance work life with school life. So if you don't have good computer skills, it will
restrict your ability to take online classes that will allow you to be flexible with your work schedule. Any shift that is available to you can now be
worked if you are able to enroll in online courses. With 3 children, I find this to be a great benefit and plan on taking online courses for any course that
allows it.
There are people out there that just are not attracted to using computers and other types of technology. These people typically enjoy being outside, and

Many educational institutions are attempting to meet the challenge of educating people about basic computing skills (Parry). For example, providing
opportunities for students to take classes in high school allows students to become more familiar with the basics of computers earlier. Some classes
include word processing, browsing the internet, and using the computers interface. Colleges teach more advanced classes on computers. The colleges
have realized the need for students to know how to use a computer. For example, some colleges make taking at least one computer class a requirement
to graduate. These requirements help people be accountable for having some knowledge with computers no matter what their career direction is. In
case of a job change or different choice of occupation, an individual would still have a working knowledge of computers.
Just as people change careers, the way computers look and run also changes. The people who use the computers need to make sure and pay attention
to when changes are set in place. There are many books that are available that have a wide variety of topics on computers. Some community colleges
offer short classes that help develop skills with computers. An example of change is the operating system Windows created by Microsoft. There are

system. Make sure to research every component before buying everything, so everything can function properly. The second step after you have all the
components and hardware is to prepare the case. The very first thing you should do when preparing the case is to ground yourself. Using a antistatic
wristâstrap that to prevent electrostatic discharge. Once the case is open try using some antistatic gloves since some cases have sharp edges. Place
the power supply in the correct place and make sure that nothing is getting in the way from the power supply fan. The third step is to install the
motherboard. Installing the motherboard come with a lot of little components which you have to be very careful if not any little thing that happens

environments, but in the 1990s the spread of applications like eâmail and the World Wide Web, combined with the development of cheap, fast
networking technologies like Ethernet and ADSL saw computer networking become almost ubiquitous. In fact, the number of computers that are
networked is growing phenomenally. A very large proportion of personal computers regularly connect to the Internet to communicate and receive
information. "Wireless" networking, often utilizing mobile phone networks, has meant networking is becoming increasingly ubiquitous even in mobile
computing environments.

19. Questions and Answers on Computers
Running Head: Computer Computer Computer 1) How are computers today similar to the first computers? How are they different? Similar features of
the first generation computers and modern day technology include processor, programming language and the microchips. These features have been an
essential part of all the generations without which the computers cannot be operated. All the generations have used a language to create programs, a
processor the run the equipment and chips, which have incorporated multiple functions of programmes. The difference between these computers
includes speed, size and efficiency. Today's computers are much faster processing units, smaller and efficient in producing results. 2) What is the
difference between a supercomputer and a microcomputer? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? The main difference between
microcomputers and super computers is the power of usage. Microcomputers are the general purpose computers used at homes, offices and other
places where a relatively moderate speed of working is appreciable. Whereas super computers are used in the fields of nuclear processing,
microbiological sectors, space, weather forecasting etc because of their highâspeed performance of trillions of operations per second. Advantages of
using microcomputers are many, which include facilitation in research and gathering information, establishing communication with people etc. while
the disadvantages may be its contribution to less
