Who is the father of computing

In 1821, Charles Babbage invented the first, modern computer design a steam powered adding machine called ''the difference engine.'' Babbage understood that long math problems were just repetitive operations. Therefore, Babbage made a machine to automatically solve math problems.

Babbage also invented the ''analytical engine'' The analytical engine was a mechanical adding machine that took information from punched cards to solve and print complex mathematical operations.

Why are the difference and analytical angines important?


Babbage's difference engine and the analytical engine are regarded as the first ''thinking machines.'' These machines were made for people who weren't math experts. The difference and analytical engines were easy to operate and produced solutions at the turn of a hand crank. Babbage's inventions earned him the title,''father of computer.''

Did Babbage ever his two machines built?


Unfortunately, Babbage's two designs were too far ahead of their time, and neither design could be built during his lifetime. However, in 1991, the London Science Museum built the difference engine based on Babbage's original design the machine worked perfectly.

Input Device

An input device is any peripheral appliance that generates input for the computer and allows users to enter information into the computer to be processed.

Examples of input devices include: Keyboard, scanner, mouse, and digitizer tablet.

Output Device

Output device data can appear in various forms such as graphics, laser light, sound, or text. Examples of output devices are monitors wich display data or information onscreen, printers wich create hard copy data, and speakers, which produce sound with data.

Examples of output devices follow.

Printers: 

Printers create images on paper, plastic, cloth, and other print media using technologies like ink transfer, heat transfer, chemical reactions, and physical force. Computer output tells printers what images, text, or designs to print.

Monitors:

A computer monitor is an output device that converts electronic signals into onscreen graphics, text, and images. Monitors are important because they give users a visual presentation of keyboard commands and mouse movements. Monitors, also called displays, are standard equipment with most computers and rely on   

varying types of technology. Monitors display output data and show users the end results of the processes taking place inside a computer.

Other Output Devices

A number of the other output devices serve many different functions. All output devices rely on the computer's output data. For example, computer speakers convert output data into sound. CD burners duplicate output data, permanently burning the data into compact discs. Digital projectors display output data as enlarged images for specialized viewing purposes.

System Unit

The system unit the core of a computer is responsible for processing and storing data and controls all computer functions.

The system unit contains such components as the motherboard, central processing unit (CPU),random-access memory (RAM) read-only memory (ROM) chips, hard and floppy disks, and several input/output ports. It also communicates with all of computer's parts. In the system unit, ram data is processed into information.

The system unit works with the computer's peripheral devices. A peripheral device is equipment connected to the computer for the purpose of inputting of receiving data from the computer.There are two types of peripheral devices,output and input.

What are a computer's basic parts

A computer is made up of many integrated circuits, wires, components, boards, slots, and chips.

However, in terms of operation, a computer is made up of three fundamentak elaments a system unit, output devices, and input devices.

These  components work together like a team to complete tasks. The system unit  acts like  the center or core, processing the data and information it receives from input devices.Output devices-like printers-receive the system unit's processed information (data).

What is a computer

Most people could give an example of the operations that computers perform-number crunching, for example.Most, however, would probably have a difficult tie explaining what a computers is.

Most of us are familiar with computers, and use them in one capacity or another nearly every day. A computer is an electronic device that user microprocessor technology to input, manipulate, store, and output data. Computing technology allows us to write letters,create pictures,make calculations,play games, and send electronic mail (email) via computers.

Like people,computers vary in size,type,shape,and ability, and they are everywhers  in cash registers, gas pumps, cameras, cars, homes, stereos, and even toys. Computers have become a useful part of our everyday lives.

The type of computers we use at home or work are referred to by a variety of names such as PCs, microcomputers, workstations, laptops, and desktops. These computers are designed for a single user (at a time) and are most commonly referred to as ''personal computers'' or PCs. PCs are the most common type of computer in the world.
