GENERATION OF COMPUTERS The term generation indicates the type of technology used in the computer construction. As new technology was emerging‚ it was being used in the making of computer. The new technology improved the speed‚ accuracy and storage capacity of the computers. Different technologies have been used for computers in different times. Therefore‚ computers can be divided into five generations depending upon the technologies used. These are: First Generation (1940 - 1956) Second

Computer Networks Does anyone really know what networking is? “In the world of computers‚ networking is the practice of linking two or more computing devices together for the purpose of sharing data” (Networking Fundamentals). Now this is a great explanation but does this really help us understand? Networking has grown over many years. Where did networking come from? Lets go back to the beginning and find out how far we have come. Network research can be traced back to around the 1960’s.

the modern electronic computer was developed at U.S. universities; however‚ in the year‚ there was no computer education yet. It needed more 10 years to have computer education. The period of the computer revolution was 1950 in the U.S.. Computer education began in the middle of the 1950s with an organized body of knowledge. Also Japanese the teaching of computer science has been developed in the same period. During 1955 to 1959‚ some universities developed their own computers. They organized short

Computer Simulation * A software program that runs on any computer that attempts to simulate some phenomenon based on a scientist’s conceptual and mathematical understanding of the given phenomenon. * The scientist’s conceptual understanding is reduced to an algorithmic or mathematical logic‚ which is then programmed in one of many programming languages (Fortran‚ C‚ C++‚ etc.) and compiled to produce a binary code that runs on a computer. * Have become a useful part of modeling
