facts about a growing problem of computer addiction. Tom Wood was always irritable‚ tired and not interested in anything but his "bloody computer"‚ his father Ray Wood said. It was not until Mr Wood smashed Tom’s keyboard into 100 pieces that the 16-year-old schoolboy realised he had an obsessive dependency - computer addiction. But recent stories of children hiding with laptops under their doonas to avoid the wrath of their parents indicate that the modern day problem is growing by the minute

HISTORY OF COMPUTERS Ancient era Suanpan (the number represented on this abacus is 6‚302‚715‚408) Devices have been used to aid computation for thousands of years‚ mostly using one-to-one correspondence with fingers. The earliest counting device was probably a form of tally stick. Later record keeping aids throughout the Fertile Crescent included calculi (clay spheres‚ cones‚ etc.) which represented counts of items‚ probably livestock or grains‚ sealed in hollow unbaked clay containers.[1][2]

Improvements on common machines Computer- For most of the people‚ computer is a machine used for a calculation or a computation‚ but actually it is much more than that. Precisely Computer is an electronic device for performing arithmetic and logical operation. Or “Computer is a device or a flexible machine to process data and converts it into information.” To know about the complete process that how computer works‚ we will have to come across the various terms such as Data‚ Processing and Information

HISTORY OF COMPUTERS The abacus was an early aid for mathematical computations. Its only value is that it aids the memory of the human performing the calculation. A skilled abacus operator can work on addition and subtraction problems at the speed of a person equipped with a hand calculator. The abacus is often wrongly attributed to China. In fact‚ the oldest surviving abacus was used in 300 B.C. by the Babylonians. The abacus is still in use today‚ principally in the far east. A modern abacus consists

Introduction For my term paper the field I chose was computers. I chose this field because I love computers and it s a field on the rise. When doing my research about computers‚ I tried to stay focused on a few different types of fields. I did this because I thought that doing every different type of field would not help me chose the right field for me. Computers is such a big field that it was almost no problem picking a couple of computer fields to talk about in my term paper. Preparation

A computer is an electronic device that can receive a set of instructions or program and the carry out this program by performing calculations on numerical data or by compiling and correlating other forms of information. ("Computer" Encarta). It also performs calculations and processes information with astonishing speed and precision. Computer Technology has improved our lives. It will continue to affect our future which will lead to an easier‚ less complicated lifestyle‚ with more job opportunities

Date | Event | c. 2400 BC | The abacus - the first known calculator‚ was probably invented by the Babylonians as an aid to simple arithmetic around this time period. This laid the foundations for positional notation and later computing developments. | 1300 | Ramon Llull invented the Lullian Circle: a notional machine for calculating answers to philosophical questions (in this case‚ to do with Christianity) via logical combinatorics. This idea was taken up by Leibniz centuries later‚ and is thus
