A computer is a machine which is designed to help us an
all aspects of life. This machine looks very clever because it can work very
fast and finish a great amount of work in a relativity short time.
The first computer was made in Bletchlly,
Hertfordshire, England. It was called Kolostus. It was the biggest computer
ever made by men. The complete set of this machine filled a large room. The
function of this machine was to work with numbers. The numbers were used in
code during the war between England and Germany in 1942.
Within 40 years its size has become smaller and
smaller. A modern computer does not use any electronic tube but uses microchips. The invention of
microchips in 1970 did not only make computer become very small but very cheap
as well. A pocket calculator is kind of simple computer.
A computer consist of the hardware is the machine and
all its equipment. The software is all the system of the computer. If you
attend a computer course you will learn the computer’s software.
The whole work of a computer is done by the keyboard
and the input unit, the central processing unit and the output unit which is
represented by the monitor or the screen
and the printer. You type some data on the keyboard. Your data will be sent to
and kept by the memory. If you need the data to be processed you must push the
relevant keyboard and the result or the output can be seen on the monitor. This
output can also be printed out.
Now a days we can find computers everywhere. They are
loyal servants of men. It is men’s brain which designs their exciting work.
Without men computer is just as helpless as the other machine.
