Introduction In today’s information age, knowledge of computer is a must. We use computers in each and every aspect of our lives. Anybody who wants to succeed in today’s world cannot afford to ignore computer and communications technology. Irrespective of the field that one specializes in the basic knowledge of computers and modern technology is an absolute necessity may it be composing a letter or an article on the world processor and so on. Our society has become so dependent on computers that everyone cannot survive without them. Also, they are great tools in improving human productivity, provided one knows how to use them. Computers are truly amazing machine. Evolution of computer from mechanical device to the complex and sophisticated devices they are now. Computers are classified into different generations. From first generation to fifth generation computers. From first generation (1945-1956), second generations computers (1956-1963), third generation computers (1964-1971), fourth generations (1971-present) and fifth generations computers (present and beyond). ENIAC, first computer have both hardware and software. Hardware consists of the mechanical and electronic devices, which we can see and touch. Software consists of programs, operating systems and the data that reside in the memory and storage devices. Technology create big impact to human’s computer applications already cover a wide range of human needs and wants, from optimizing cattle feed to navigating aircraft to customizing production. Computers are powerful tools solving problems and meeting needs in today world with support from human intelligence, computers can expand human capabilities. Parts of computer as we now know, it did not appear all at once in one machine
