2 A Computer is a device that is capable of solving problems or manipulating data by accepting data as input, performing prescribed operations both mathematical and logical on the data, and then supplying the results of these operations. A Computer (Computer System) denotes a set of computer hardware and computer software that is used as a single unit. Computer Definition

11
11 Integrated Circuit (IC) (1958) Integrated Circuit (IC) semiconductor Introduction of basic OS concepts Monitor and keyboard Magnetic disk Birth of Unix Move to standardized hardware Multiprogramming gained over batch multiple jobs in memory at the same time Becoming smaller & more general purpose multiple jobs in memory at the same time Most computing done on Mainframes birth of the minicomputer (e.g. DEC PDP-11) 3rd Generation Computing (1965-1980)
12
12 3rd Generation Computing (1965-1980) Cray 23Cray 29
13
13 3rd Generation Computing (1965-1980) IBM System 360 (360 degrees) Standard data format
14
14 3rd Generation Computing (1965-1980) Multiprogramming many jobs in memory at once scheduling became important (1 CPU)
15
15 4th Generation Computing (1980 - Present) go down - in size very large scale integration (VLSI) Growth of the microcomputer (PC) Widespread use of general purpose single user systems Timesharing and GUI environments Introduction of DOS IBM PC 1
16
16 DOS originally produce by Tim Paterson at Seattle Computer Products bought then modified by Bill Gates and Tim Paterson to become MS-DOS added BASIC packaged with IBM ’ s PC 1 Lead to the development of Windows in 1985 4th Generation Computing (1980 - Present)

25 PDA - also called handheld computers or palmtops personal organization tools schedule planners, address books to-do lists--with send e-mail and faxes. Well-known makers of PDAs include Palm, Handspring, Sony, and Compaq. Micro Computers
26
26 also called embedded computers. Tiny, specialized microprocessors installed in “ smart ” appliances and automobiles. Micro controllers
27
27 Hardware All the machinery and equipment in a computer system Software All the instructions (programs) that tell the computer how to perform a task The most important definition Software/Hardware
28
28 Computer Hardware The collection of equipment (keyboard, screen, printer, diskette drive, hard disk drive, central processing unite, memory and so on) along with all of the components that connect these equipment together. Computer Software All programs (operation system, application software, operating environment) that govern the operation of computer and make the hardware run. Software/Hardware (Another def.)
