GENERAL INFORMATION
Evolution of Computers
Computer is an electronic machine that accepts
the data as input then processes the data and
generates the required output as per the
processing instructions given to it by the user.
Generations of Computers
First Generation:

Vacuum Tubes (1940-1956)

Second Generation:

Transistors (1956-1963)

Third Generation:

Integrated Circuit (1964-1971)

Fourth Generation:

Microprocessor (1971-present)

Fifth Generation:

Artificial Intellegence (present-beyond)

ARTIFICIAL INTELLEGENCE
(PRESENT-BEYOND)
Father of Modern Computer /
First Programmer
In 1822, Charles Babbage invented the first modern
computer design a steam powered adding machine
called THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE and in 1833 he
also invented the ANALYTICAL ENGINE the
analytical engine was a mechanical adding machine
that took information from punched cards to solve
and print complex mathematical operations.
1842 the first program was written by ADA
AUGUSTA LOVELACE for Babbages Difference
Engine. Thus Ada Lovelace is credited with being
the First COMPUTER PROGRAMMER. The
programming language ADA is named in her
honor.

What are Input Devices?

Any machine that feeds data into a
computer. For example, a keyboard is an
input device, whereas a display monitor is
an output device.
Input Devices
Keyboard
Mouse
Microphone
Image Scanners
Touch Screen
Bar Code Readers
Credit Card Readers
What are Output Devices?
Any machine capable of representing
information from a computer. This includes
display screen, printers, plotters & speakers

How Computer Works
ESD
What is ESD?
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the transfer of an electrostatic charge between
two objects. This is a very rapid event that happens when two objects of
different potentials come into direct contact with each other.
One of the main causes of device failures in the semiconductor industry is ESD.
Keep all components in antistatic bags until
you are ready to install them.
Use grounded mats on workbenches.
Use grounded floor mats in work areas.
Use antistatic straps when working on
components.
