There's is more about computer. Lets us go and find out!!!

Over time computers became more and more powerful, with the introduction of the ubiquitous microprocessor driving forward development. Gordon Moore, one of the co-founders of Intel, invented Moores law, which predicted that the number of transistors that could be placed on integrated circiut inexpensively doubled every 2 years. This law has held true to a certain degree, and it can be seen in motion every day with the introduction of more & more powerful microprocessors and larger hard drives and memory modules.Among the notable computers of the history are the ENIAC, Altair 8000, Commodore 64, Macintosh and IBM-PC.

Among the other types of the modern computers are the:
1) The Supercomputer
2) MainFrame
3) Workstation
4) The Personal Computer/PC
5) Microcontroller
6) The Server

ENIAC, Altair 8000, Commodore 64, Macintosh and IBM-PC. The Supercomputer, Mainframe, the personal computer/PC, microcontroller, and the srever are among the types of the modern computers. Some examples of the hadrware and the software of the computers today are the podcast, the hardware. softwareand the firmware. The basic operations of a normal computer are the input, output, processing, storage and the external resourses. The names for the different sizes of the data for the computer are the Bit, Byte. KB, MB, GB, TB, and the PB. Measurements for the data speed are included too which are known as Bps. Kbps, Mbps, and Gbps.

That't all for the "What is A computer?"
