Personal computer

The development of the personal computer came after nearly thirty years of small components being innovated, beginning with humans need to develop a mechanical device that could do arithmetic. Personal computing began to actually become more of a reality in the early 1970’s, due to the invention of the microprocessor in 1971. The Intel 4004 contained many crucial components of the computer, from the CPU to the input and output controls into one miniscule silicon chip (Computer History Museum). This allowed for the entire computer to become smaller in size as compared to earlier years. The microprocessor also allowed the price of computers to drop, thus opening up the market to a larger clientele base. This small silicon based chip is what drove…

Computers have not been along very long at all when compared to the history of man. There has been a huge amount of technological development and expansion over the last 50 years. One major component of this technology is the personal computer. There are a few companies that played a major role in getting the personal computer to where it is today and it is hard to imagine a world in which everyone doesn’t have a smart phone in their pocket and a laptop in their backpack. This high volume of…

cause is it encourages workers to work from property in their off hours if necessary. You will discover powerful 2.5GHZ pace pocket book computer systems obtainable for nearly as inexpensive as their desktop counterparts. Making use of a major enterprise brand for instance Toshiba, HP, or IBM (Lenovo) is actually a smart move, as is obtaining some extra warranty against breaking. Notebook personal computers break much more usually as they 're a lot more apt to slip and hit the floor. If you…

Pitchon 12/18/2016 Scenario #3 (Needs Assessment) Identifying Need In 1985, with the introduction of computers in schools, the ratio of students to computers was 63:1(Kress 2011). Today, approximately ninety-nine percent of the schools in the country have access to the internet, and the ratio of student-to-computer has greatly decreased to 4:1(Kress 2011). Computer use has become an increasingly vital part of academia. Computers have become integrated into the learning process in academic…

I was a kid. I've always wanted to build a computer, for the last two years I've wanted to build a gaming rig. So much earlier this year I finally build one. I ordered all necessary parts via online so that I could pick the parts up on the same day. It would take at least a five hours, to and from, along with three to four hours of building time. However, I was determined; however, I was told by my mother to wait for the next day due to my father's health, but he knew how long I waited and went…

Project: Personal Knowledge Plan As a major in computer science, with minimal knowledge about computers, I have a plethora of ignorance on the subject. I am hoping to have a bachelors in computer science after 4 years at UNF, and the deciding factor in my major of choice is the fact that it encompasses a wide variety of jobs that typically pay a substantial wage and decent opportunities for location of work. These options would allow me to find an area I enjoy in a place I like with a…

build myself a new rig as the computer I had at the time was very outdated. So it began. With high hopes and expectations, I began my research with Google as my guide. I typed in, “how to build a computer” and there it was. All the information I ever needed to build my own computer. The problem now was understanding and making sense of all the technical terms that flashed before my eyes. What in the world does Silicon-power-Super-alloy SATA II-ATX-Digi+VRM even mean? Since when were CPU and GPU…

The interminable technological development in the field of computer science and engineering has opened up a progressive path to a gamut of research opportunities. Also to excel in today's rapidly changing field of Computer Science, and to realize the acme of one's potential in the field of research in information technology, one must possess an equilibrium of theoretical as well as practical knowledge. After perusing my personal interests, past education and work experience, I have decided to…

Reading "History of the Personal Computer" It was a pleasant spring morning to sit out on the porch and read chapter 3 and 4 from the course material. Much of this history I had either lived through in the 70's or been exposed to at the Intel Museum's Santa Clara California. As I understand it, the Museum was started as a place to put all of Gordon Moore stuff. In chapter 4 the story of Wazniaks and Jobs early years, was also amusing. I read the same story about the blue box in the early…

When obtaining a computer, the common question is to build it or to buy it. That is the question most avid computer buyers wonder. What will I get if I build a computer to my specs, and what will I get if I buy a store buy a store built basic computer. The answer is simple actually, buy one that fits your needs and the computer will chose you. If you were to ask me if I were to build or buy a computer, I would easily chose to build one, that way I can build a supercomputer built for gaming and…
