This presentation introduces computer types including analog computers, digital computers, and hybrid computers. It provides examples of each type:
- Analog computers recognize continuous data through physical properties and output graphs and meters. Examples include speedometers and thermometers.
- Digital computers store information numerically in binary using 0s and 1s and are fast, used in homes/offices. The first was ENIAC designed in 1946. Examples include mainframe and modern computers.
- Hybrid computers combine aspects of analog and digital computers, accepting both graphical and numeric data.
