Types of Computers
A computer is one of the most brilliant inventions of mankind. Thanks to the
computer technology, we were able to achieve an efficient storage and processing of
data; we could rest our brains by employing computer memory capacities for storage
of the information. Owing to computers, we have been able to speed up daily work,
carry out critical transactions and achieve accuracy and precision in work output. The
computers of the earlier years were of the size of a large room and were required to
consume huge amounts of electric power. However, with the advancing technology,
computers have shrunk to the size of a small watch. Depending on the processing
powers and sizes of computers, they have been classified under various types. Let us
look at the classification of computers.
Based on the operational principle of computers, they are categorized as
analog computers and hybrid computers.
Analog Computers: These are almost extinct
today. These are different from a digital
computer because an analog computer can
perform several mathematical operations
simultaneously. It uses continuous variables for
mathematical operations and utilizes
mechanical or electrical energy.
Personal computers come in a variety of forms such as desktops, laptops and personal
digital assistants. Let us look at each of these types of computers.
Desktops: A desktop is intended to be used on a
single location. The spare parts of a desktop
computer are readily available at relative lower
costs. Power consumption is not as critical as that
in laptops. Desktops are widely popular for daily
use in workplaces and households.
