COMPUTER
UNDERSTANDING COMPUTER Analog Computers: These are almost extinct
today. These are different from a digital computer
TYPES because an analog computer can perform several
mathematical operations simultaneously. It uses
CLASSIFICATION continuous variables for mathematical operations
and utilizes mechanical or electrical energy.
COMPUTER
UNDERSTANDING COMPUTER Digital Computers: They use digital circuits and
are designed to operate on two states, namely
TYPES bits 0 and 1. They are analogous to states ON
and OFF. Data on these computers is represented
CLASSIFICATION as a series of 0s and 1s. Digital computers are
suitable for complex computation and have higher
processing speeds. They are programmable
COMPUTER
UNDERSTANDING COMPUTER Hybrid Computers: These computers are a
combination of both digital and analog computers.
TYPES In this type of computers, the digital segments
perform process control by conversion of analog
CLASSIFICATION signals to digital ones.

UNDERSTANDING COMPUTER Mainframe Computers: Most of the mainframe
computers have the capacities to host multiple
TYPES operating systems and operate as a number of virtual
machines and can substitute for several small servers.

Minicomputers: In terms of size and processing
UNDERSTANDING COMPUTER capacity, minicomputers lie in between mainframes
and microcomputers. Minicomputers are also called
TYPES mid-range systems or workstations. The term began
to be popularly used in the 1960s to refer to relatively

Servers: They are computers designed to provide
UNDERSTANDING COMPUTER services to client machines in a computer network.
They have larger storage capacities and powerful
TYPES processors.

is known as a microcomputer. They do not
TYPES occupy space as much as mainframes do.
When supplemented with a keyboard and a
