a machine which was 1. Digital Computer

suggests but various 3. Hybrid Computer

computer so this wonder
machine is now not just for
computation but also a
powerful tool used in
convergence of
technologies.
Digital Computer
Digital computer works on
digital system. In digital system
the data is converted into
binary digits, i.e., 0,1.The zero
‘0’ represents switch off and
one ‘1’ represents switch on
state. ASCII (American
Standard Codes for
Information Interchange) is
the most popular coding
system used in modern
computers.
Analog Computer
 In Analog Computer similarities
are established in the form of
current and voltage signal. Analog
computers are operated by
measuring rather than by counting.
The computer used in a PCO
machine is an example of this
computer type whether the
computer computes on
comparison of time and dialed call
which is computed with the
distance and rate.
Hybrid Computers
 A Hybrid computer is a
combination of digital and analog
computers. In this computer some
parts function on digital system and
some other on analog system. it
utilizes a modem which converts
digital signal to analog and vice-
versa. The computers in factories
which operate the machines work
on this hybrid technology.
Types of computers
Micro computers: The
computer in which a
microprocessor is used and it
is very small in size is called a
micro computer. The
Personal Computers (PCs),
Laptops, notebooks are micro
computers. If the micro
computer is connected to the
network or internet, it can
share the data or resources
with other computers of the
network.
Mini Computer
 Mini computers are little bit bigger
than the micro computers. They
have more memory and fast
processing power. When we open
our email account and want to read
the mail sent by our friend, the
server is used to download that
mail and so, it regularly works for
us.
Mainframe Computer
 Mainframe is a big size and
powerful computer. The weather
forecasting is provided by these
computers because these
computers take satellite pictures of
earth and analyze it so that the
computation is done as after how
much time the clouds will reach to
any specific place.

Types of computers
Supercomputer: Supercomputer is
the biggest and most powerful
computer. The data received from
the satellite is computed by the
supercomputer because it can take
input from various high tech devices
including satellite camera,
spacecraft, space shuttle, artificial
satellite, etc. India has developed a
supercomputer name Param. Param
10000 was the first version of this
computer but now many versions
are available.
Communication Computer-Based Treatment

has become more
efficient and less costly,
an increasing variety of
hardware and software
options are available that

treatment systems
consist of a regular
desktop or laptop

software programs
Augmentative and Alternative
Communication Systems
 These systems help people with speech or language disorder function
better in daily life. These systems may look like portable “talking boxes”
or may consist of software that is used on a desktop or laptop computer.
Augmentative and alternative communication systems can enhance the
speech and writing of people with significant speech and language
difficulties.
If you’re interested in using computer to help you write and talk, a wide
variety of alternative communication options exists:
 Voice-output devices in many shapes and sizes.
 Word-prediction software that “guesses” what you are trying to type
 Programs that read the text on the screen
Information Technology
 Information technology (IT) is branch of engineering
dealing with the use of computers and telecommunications
equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data.
The information Technology Association of America has
defined IT as “the study, design, development, application,
implementation, support or management of computer-
based information systems”. The term is commonly used as
a synonym for encompasses other information distribution
technologies such as television and telephones.
Content Technology
 New content technologies are re-energizing
traditional publishing processes across,
flexibility and scalability. Publishers can
now manage a diverse portfolio of content
and new digital channels profitably by
leveraging technology to re-engineer and
deploy optimized content workflows.
Biotechnology
 Biotechnology (sometimes shortened to “biotech”) is
the use of living systems and organisms to develop or
make useful products, and it is usually seen in
agriculture, food and medicine production. Modern
use of similar terms includes genetic engineering as
well as cell and tissue culture technologies. The
concept encompasses a wide range of procedures for
modifying living organisms according to human
purposes-going back to domestication of animals,
cultivation of plants, and “improvements” to these
through breeding programs that employ artificial
selection and hybridization.
Nanotechnology
 Nanotechnology is the engineering of
functional systems at the molecular scale.
This covers both current work and concepts
that are more advanced. In its original
sense, ‘nanotechnology’ refers to the
projected ability to construct items from the
bottom up, using techniques and tools
being developed today to make complete,
high performance products.
