Answer the following questions in one or two sentences each: What ware Napier’s bones? Ans: John Napier designed a system of calculating rods for quick multiplication and division.They were square in cross section and a set consisted of nine rods, numbered 1 to 9. Which types of calculating could be done using Stepped Reckoner? Ans: Stepped Reckoner was devised to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and to find square root.

In what respects was Babbage’s design of Analytical Engine similar to that of a modern computer? OR Why is Charles Babbage called the father of the computer? Ans: Charles Babbage designed of Analytical Engine has an input device, a unit for mathematical calculations, a control unit, a memory and an output device. Which were similar to that of a modern computer.

What is meant by computer generations? Ans: The development of digital computers is often divided into stage or generations. Each generation is characterized by remarkable improvements over previous generation in the technology used to build computers. Why were first generation computers huge in size? Ans: First generation computers were made up thousand of vacuum tubes so they were huge in size.

How did the invention of transistor benefit computers How did the invention of transistor benefit computers? OR What characteristics make a transistor better than a vacuum tube? Ans: Transistors are far superior to vacuum tubes they were occupied less space, consume very little power and produce less heat.
