2. Early Computer’s
• Z1 created by Konrad Zuse of Germany
– Considered to be the first programmable computer.
– 1936
– 64 word memory
– To program a person would use punch tape and
received information also with punch tape.
– People disagree that
this is the real first
computer.

3. The Change in Size
• Computer use to take up a whole room and
now they can fit in a pocket
• This is dew to technology advances human
preference.

4. Input
• Keyboard, Mouse, memory card
• Early Input was mostly Punch Card

5. Functions and Programming
•Simple to Complex
•Machine Code to Object oriented Language
•Used the same base language of Binary

6. Output
• Used to get information out of the computer
• Monitors were used to display graphics and to
allow easier programming.
• Printer, Speaker, and so on
7. Deep Blue
• Garry Kasparo vs. a computer know as Deep
Blue
• Garry Kasparo won the first match
• 6 games were played in a rematch
and Deep Blue won 2 to 1
• 3 ties
• Shows how far we have come for
programming and interaction with machines
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Deep_Blue.jpg
8. Mobile PC/Computers
• Implies wireless transmission using computing
device while in transit.
• Laptops, net books, tablets and mobile phones
• Droid and Osi
9. Memory
• Drum Memory – Uses as a Drum as how the
early phonograph used the wax cylinder
record
• Magnetic core Memory – stored memory by
magnetic polarity.
• Semi-conductor memory- stored memory on
an integrated chip . Developed into R.A.M.
11. Material
• Silicon
• Copper
• Plastic
• There are also other materials
like gold used in very small quantities

13. First Generation
• “Use of vacuum tubes
• Big & Clumsy
• High Electricity Consumption
• Programming in Mechanical Language
• Larger AC were needed
• Lot of electricity failure occurred ”
(Computer : the technology next, the future......)
14. Second Generation
• “Transistors were used
• Core Memory was developed
• Faster than First Generation computers
• First Operating System was developed
• Programming was in Machine Language & Assembly
Language
• Magnetic tapes and discs were used
• Computers became smaller in size than the First Generation
computers
• Computers consumed less heat and consumed less
electricity”
(Computer : the technology next, the future......)
15. Third Generation
• “Integrated circuits developed
• Power consumption was low
• SSI & MSI Technology was used
• High level languages were used”
(Computer : the technology next, the future......)
16. Forth Generation
• “LSI & VLSI Technology used
• Development of Portable Computers
• RAID Technology of data storage
• Used in virtual reality, multimedia, simulation
• Computers started in use for Data
Communication
• Different types of memories with very high
accessing speed & storage capacity”
(Computer : the technology next, the future......)
17. Fifth Generation
• “Used in parallel processing
• Used superconductors
• Used in speech recognition
• Used in intelligent robots
• Used in artificial intelligence”
(Computer : the technology next, the future......)
