Analog computer
An analog computer is a form of computer that uses electrical mechanical or hydraulic phenomena to model the problem being solved
Electronics
Electronics is the study of the flow of charge through various materials and devices such as, semiconductors, resistors, inductors, capacitors
Transistor
Transistor is a semiconductor device, commonly used as an amplifier or an electrically controlled switch. The transistor is the fundamental building block of the circuitry that governs the operation of computers, cellular phones, and all other modern electronics.
I
ntegrated circu
An integrated circuit (IC), sometimes called a chip or microchip, is an electronic device on semiconductor on which thousands or millions of tiny resistors, capacitors, and transistors are fabricated
Vacuum tubes
Vacuum tubes is a device used to amplify, switch, otherwise modify, or create an electrical signal by controlling the movement of electrons in a low-pressure space
Mini computeris
Mini computeris a largely obsolete term for a class of multi-user computers that lies in the middle range of the computing spectrum
Microcomputer
Microcomputer is most often taken to mean a computer with a microprocessor as its CPU. Another general characteristic of these computers is that they occupy physically small amounts of space
Internet
Internet is a worldwide, publicly accessible series of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic
RAM
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. RAM provides space for your computer to read and write data to be accessed by the CPU
Network
Network effect is a characteristic that causes a good or service to have a value to a potential customer which depends on the number of other customers who own the good or are users of the service
Operating system (OS)
Operating system (OS) is the software that manages the sharing of the resources of a computer.An operating system processes raw system data and user input, and responds by allocating and managing tasks and internal system resources as a service to users and programs of the system
IBM
International Business Machines Corporation
IBM or International Business Machines Corporation is a multinational computer technology and consulting corporation headquartered in Armonk, New York, USA. The company is one of the few information technology companies with a continuous history dating back to the 19th century.
RAM
Ram or Random access memory is a type of data storage used in computers. It takes the form of integrated circuits that allow the stored data to be accessed in any order — that is, at random and without the physical movement of the storage medium or a physical reading head.
Hard Drive
Hard Drive: The primary computer storage device, which spins, reads and writes one or more fixed disk platters. In practice, the terms "hard drive" and "hard disk" are used synonymously
Apple
Apple develops, sells, and supports a series of personal computers, portable media players, computer software, and computer hardware accessories; Apple is also currently involved in the creation of new technology concepts
Xerox
Xerox Corporation is a global document management company, which manufactures and sells a range of color and black-and-white printer, multifunction systems, photo copiers, Xerox is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, though its largest population of employees
Floppy
Floppy is a data storage device that is composed of a disk of thin, flexible ("floppy") magnetic storage medium encased in a square or rectangular plastic shell.
Mouse
Mouse functions as a pointing device by detecting two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface.
Mobile computer
Mobile computer is a generic term describing your ability to use technology 'untethered', that is not physically connected, or in remote or mobile (non static) environments.
Graphical
Graphical user interface (GUI) is a type of user interface which allows people to interact with a computer and computer-controlled devices which employ graphical icons
Keyboard
Keyboard: There are many types of keyboard, usually differentiated by the switch technology employed in their operation.
Programmable
Programmable: hierarchy of programmable interconnects allows logic blocks to be interconnected as needed by the system designer, somewhat like a one-chip programmable breadboard.
