Assalamualaikum. Yesterday I was learnt about history of the computer. From this lesson I knew who was invented the computer. There were three people who invented the computer which are
Blaise Pascal, Gottfried Leibniz and Joseph-Marie Jacquard. Other than that, from what I learnt there were 5 generation of computer and has divided into two group which are high level and low level. For the first generation ( ENIAC and UNIVAC) and second generation ( transistor) as low level language. While the rest until fifth generation used higher level language. For the extra information I got,
Steve Job was a founder of APPLE company which are very popular devices nowadays. For sum up about the generation of computer, the newest model is the best and have the high quality. The latest one is more application and uses that we can apply. For example, the fifth generation computer based on artificial intelligence which are the system can think and learn.
For topic computer architecture quite difficult for me because I cannot see the concept. But I try to understand as I can. For the meaning of each component make me able to understand more the process in CPU( central Processing Units). Besides, I have learnt about Categories of computer. In this part I have learnt before when my first trimester. It was quite easy to memorize and understand. There are such as embedded computer, devices computer, midrange computer and others. Each of them have their own special characteristics and the most people nowadays use in my opinion is devices computer, mobile computer and personal computer.
In addition, what is storage? from my understanding, storage is the place where can put our data or back up our data and files there. Such as Hard Disk, Pen drive, CD, and Diskette.
In this week also we learnt types of software more deeply. Even though to understand about software quite difficult, but after learnt this I can see the concept and process. For example, system software is about operation of the computer meanwhile application software is about the application we used in the computer such as game, Microsoft and programming language is enable the people to communicate or give instruction to the computer. Now I also know the most important software in all the system there is
OPERATING SYSTEM( PLATFORM PROGRAMME). For Control Unit function, it will supervise or coordinate all the activities inside the CPU. From what I see in Program Development Process, I could see the types of level language. It was quite interesting and logical for me. thats all for this week. :)
