Computer is an electronic device that takes data or instructions as input, process data and provide useful information as output. It is a versatile and programmable machine capable of performing a wide range of operations, from basic arithmetic calculations to complex data analysis and running sophisticated software applications. Applications areas of Computers: 1) Data Processing(Commercial use) 2) Numerical Computing(Scientific use) 3) Text Processing(office and educational use) 4) Message Communication (E mail) 5) Image Processing(animation and industrial use) 6) Voice Recognition(Multimedia) HISTORY OF COMPUTERS: Computers have evolved over the years through several generations, each marked by significant technological advancements. These generations are broadly categorized as follows: 1.First Generation (1940s - 1950s): Key Technology: ______ Notable Computers: ENIAC, UNIVAC I, EDSAC Characteristics: Used vacuum tubes for electronic components. Were extremely large and consumed a lot of power. Operated in machine language, with no high-level programming languages. Were primarily used for scientific and military applications.
