Computers

Thomas John Watson was the president of IBM and who oversaw the growth of the company
into a multinational (between the 1920s and 1950s). Developing her effective management
style and making her one of the most effective sales companies thanks to the punch cards she
made, she predicted that the world would need no more than "about five computers."

A computer is an electronic machine that processes information, takes raw information (or
data) at one end, stores it until it's ready to work on it, chews and crunches it for a moment,
then spits out the results at the other end . A computer works by combining input, storage,
processing and output, taking information is called input, storing information is better known
as memory (or storage), chewing information is also known as processing, and spitting out
results is called output.

(CPU) Acronym for the English expression central processing unit, 'central processing unit',
which is the part of a computer where the elements used to process data are found.

A computer program is a concept with many meanings. ... When we speak specifically of a
computer program, we are referring to software. These are applications and resources that
allow you to carry out different tasks on a computer (computer), a telephone or other
technological equipment.

Abstract english text

The text is about the history of computer programs throughout history and how it has
developed over time since before the user had to program the word processor to write a letter;
It also shows us the ease of our times in taking a photo and how it can be edited since we
only press a button and the computer does a series of complicated and numerous operations
in seconds so that the image is made up of pixels that transform into what that the user wants.

It can be thought that a computer is a series of layers, the hardware is at the bottom and the
BIOS connects the hardware to the operating system, with the help of some applications we
can carry out searches with browsers and other functions, etc.
Each layer is different from the others, for example the Windows operating system will be
able to run on a computer with a different BIOS while a Windows computer can run different
applications.
The central software of a computer controls basic tasks such as input, output, storage,
processing etc., the operating system is based on a fundamental piece of programming called
BIOS, this is a link between the operating system software and hardware.
Software is a program stored on chips. This is known as firmware.
In the 1970s operating systems had another great benefit, they were all different and with
quite unique hardware, for example they had different processor chips, memory addresses,
screen sizes, and all other written programs.
A machine with an Apple would generally not be able to run on any other machine like an
IBM this was the problem for programmers because this meant that they would have to
rewrite everything, this program wanted to run more and more on different machines if it has
a standard operating system and modify it to work on any machine, what you have to do is
write applications that work in the operating system so any application will work in any
operating system that made this advance was Microsoft.
Through the components everything begins to make sense most of what we can see is divided
into four broad areas based on a transformer this converts your voltage from home or office
power, the DC voltage is lower this needs electronic components such like typical hard
drives. There are usually cooling fans in the computer case near a power outlet or a much
smaller fan in a laptop.
The blue motherboard is the brain of the computer where the real work is done the main
processor is easy to detect because there is usually a big fan on top of it, other circuit boards
have IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) connections that go to the disks hard and CD / DVD.

Other circuit boards.

Computers have three more boards that connect to the motherboard. These are cards, and
there are three of them: one for managing networks, one for processing graphics, and one for
dealing with sound.

Units.

PCs usually have one, two, or three hard drives plus a reader. Although some machines have
only a hard drive and a CD / DVD combo drive, they do have expansion slots to fit more.
The creators of all kinds of PCs usually create their own motherboards, but they usually use
other components that are of origin from another brand. An example is that there are
computers of a brand with components with a name of another brand, since it is very easy to
replace or change these components.

External connectors.

Thanks to peripherals we can connect even more external components to the computer. Like
printers, mice, monitors, memory cards, USB, among others.

USB.

The USB input is very useful since it gives power and can also be used as a peripheral, its use
is so common and so useful that it can be connected between them, there are a wide variety of
things in the world that work with a USB and you can have around 127 different USB
devices connected to the same computer.
