INTRODUCTION
The first use of the word “computer” was recorded in 1613 in a book called “The yong mans gleanings” by English writer Richard Braithwait. It referred to a person who carried out calculations, or computations, and the word continued with the same meaning until the middle of the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century the word began to take on its more familiar meaning, a machine that carries out computations
Basically, computer is an electronic device that can be programmed to carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. Modern computer can solve more than one kind of problem. Typically, a computer consists of a central processing unit (CPU), and memory. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logic operations, and a sequencing (ALU) and control unit can change the order of operations in response to stored information (CU). Peripheral devices allow information to be retrieved from an external source, and the result of operations saved and retrieved.
Originally, computer is used to help simple calculation but development in technology rocketed the usage of computers to conduct multiple complicated tasks.In the early age, computer were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers. Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into mobile devices, and mobile computers can be powered by small batteries
Nowadays, computers are vital every fields. It helps to ease the tasks by doing complicated
