nothing major, just a few cuts and scrapes. Once I forced the casing off, it was like opening a treasure chest, the circuitry was like gold to me. To me, it looked like a tiny city, the circuits where the roads and the capacitors and transformers where buildings and skyscrapers. For some reason, I thought the circuits contained magic, and I desperately wanted to extract it. I never seemed to be able to…

1. The hardware, or the physical parts of a computer, is one factor that has been constantly changing throughout the development of computers. Two elements of hardware in particular have progressed as generations go on: data transfer and storage. One challenge for computer engineers from the start was deciding how to transfer data through the computer. The first computer, the ENIAC, required 18,000 vacuum tubes to do so, and weighed about 20 tons. Because of its huge size, its power consumption…

Chapter 1 Introduction One of the most striking technological developments of the last fifty years has been the emergence of digital technology as a powerful force in our lives. For many of us, this technology is embodied in the digital computer, which has evolved to be an essential tool for our work as well as our personal needs. In 1951, when the first commercial electronic digital computer, a UNIVAC I, was delivered to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, computers were essentially unknown to most…

This is particularly so in most middle-class to upper-class families that can afford to own various electronic devices. Due to the fast pace of this current generation, adults are not the only ones with access to inventions of technology; most children belonging to these classes of families possess their own personal devices, and this is not always a good thing. Thus parents, of…
To overcome the limitations of manual switching; automatic exchanges, having Electro-mechanical components, were developed. Strowger exchange, the first automatic exchange having direct control feature, appeared in 1892 in La Porte (Indiana). Though it improved upon the performance of a manual exchange it still had a number of disadvantages, viz., a large number of mechanical parts, limited availability, inflexibility, bulky in size etc. As a result of further research and development, Crossbar…
All of my life I have enjoyed using computers, it was until recently that I had wanted to be able to fix them, to build them. It is a major dream of mine now that I am older and more readily prepared for such complex thinking and analyzing skills that are required when being a computer repair technician. Computers, how they work, how to fix them, is all in a day's work for a computer repair technician. They jump to the rescue to fix and pull a computer back from the brink of death, whether it…
