The document discusses the importance of understanding the development of computer generations from large machines to portable devices, and how both hardware and software have advanced. It also notes that while computer networks today provide benefits, they also pose potential cybersecurity threats if not managed carefully, such as data breaches. Finally, the document outlines that artificial intelligence has potential advantages like performing risky tasks, but also risks such as high development costs, making humans lazy, potential job losses, lacking emotions, and constrained thinking.

1. Why is it important to know the different generations of computers and their
development? - Generation of computer technology refers to the changes made in the computers technology over the time. Earlier, computer used to be a big machine with a lot of heavy wiring, whereas nowadays, a computer can be carried in hands. Initially, the changes made were limited to those made in hardware technology. However, now it includes both hardware and software developments. The table given below shows the five generation of computers.
2. Do computer networks nowadays have a potential threat to us users? Why or
why not? (Site at least one (1) example). - Yes, like taking cyber, security seriously can help mitigate the changes of your company becoming a victim of data breaches and losing money and time and viruses can damage your software.
3. Does the advent of Artificial intelligence have a positive or negative effect on
us? Why or why not? (Site an example on its potential advantage and potential threat) - This is one of the biggest advantages of Artificial intelligence. We can overcome many risky limitations of humans by developing an AI Robot, which in turn can do the risky things for us. * high cost of creation *making human lazy * unemployment *no emotion *lacking out of box thingking
