plz can some one give me notes on computers development?

Question

computer development history nt more than 200 words

Answer 1

The history of computing spans several hundred years. You'll need to look at (or at least touch on) things such as the Jacquard loom, Hollerinth tabulating machine, ENIAC, and the Altair (this spans the period from the 1500s to 1971). After the Altair, you'll need to take note of things like the Osborne, Apple I/II/III, Commodore, Lisa, Macintosh, and IBM.

What information you need to include depends on what time frame you are referring to. A lot happened in the deveopment of computers - from the Jacquard loom to the Hollerinth tabulating machine (punch cards and gears) to Altair (take-home PC), Osborne (first "portable" computer), and Lisa and Macintosh (first GUI).

And then you may need to discuss some of the other non-whole-computer developments, such as the development of the floppy drive - this allowed for programs to run much faster (as opposed to loading them via tape drives or switches). Because of the floppy drive, programs were better written, and that spurred the development of the hard drive, which drove processor development, which drove the development lots of other little bits of the computer.

Even prior to this, you can look back at the ENIAC days and note that computers used vaccuum tubes to help store data. From there, we moved to transistors (much smaller than vaccuum tubes) and then to the integrated circuit (much, much smaller than transistors), which then led to the development of the microprocessor.

There's a lot to be said about the development of computers, and it becomes difficult if you're locked down to 200 words. Hopefully this will give you something to start with.
