1. Computers 101 By: Travis 3 rd period

2. First Computer Invented by Konrad Zuse in 1936 Named Z1 computer

3. “Debug” In 1878 Thomas Edison coined the term “bug” and “debugging” when working with his inventions

4. Internet Facts The Internet began in 1969 by ARPA It was designed for research, education, and government organizations.

5. Babbage’s Analytical Engine A mechanical digital computer which, viewed with the benefit of a century and a half's hindsight, anticipated virtually every aspect of present-day computers.

6. Tabulating Machine It was invented for or their ability to count combined facts. These machines reduced a ten-year job to three months

7. ENIAC The first general-purpose electronic computer. Built at The Moore School of Electrical Engineering, now part of the School of Engineering and Applied Science.

8. Program An organized list of instructions that, when executed causes the computer to behave in a predetermined manner.

9. Benefits of using a Transistor over Vacuum Tubes Smaller size Lower cost Lower possible operating voltages Operation without a warm up period

10. Microcomputer Intel’s founder, Robert Noyce, chartered Ted Hoff’s Applications Research Department in 1969, to find new applications for silicon technology.

11. Binary System Bit-A binary digit is called a bit. Usually expressed as 0 and 1 the two numbers of the binary numbering system. A bit is the smallest unit of information a computer can use. Byte-A group of 8 bits are in a byte. With 8 bits there exists 256 possible denary combinations. Large numbers of bytes can be expressed by kilobyte and megabyte.
