COMPUTER
There are two types of computers analog and digital. Analog computers work by changing physical
conditions (temperature, pressure, voltage) into mechanical or electrical quantities. For example, an
automobile speedometer is a mechanical analog computer. It measures the rotations per minute of
the drive shaft. Then it translates the data into a display. Electronic analog computers monitor
temperature, pressure and voltage.
Digital computers work by using binary digits (1s and 0s). The term computer usually refers to
digital computers. Digital computers are more effective than analog computers. They are faster,
they are not so susceptible to signal interference, they can convey data with more precision, and
their binary data are easier to store and transfer.
Digital computers are simple machines. Every operation they perform is based on one key
operation: if certain switches, called gates, are open or closed. A computer can recognize only two
states in each of its millions of switches on or off, or high voltage or low voltage. Linking many
switches together, a computer can present any type of data from numbers to letters. This process is
called digitization.
Imagine that a computer is checking only one switch at a time. If the switch is on, it symbolizes one
operation, letter, or number; if the switch is off it represents another. When switches are linked
together as a unit, the computer can recognize more data in each cycle. The more switches a
computer checks in each cycle, the more data it can recognize the faster it can operate.
The computer is not just a machine. It’s a system comprising several microelectronic devices
functioning according to the programs prepared by a programmer. The hardware consists of the
following functional components: the central processing unit (CPU) comprising control unit and
arifmetic logic unit (ALU) and different devices such as input devices, memory-storage devices,
and output devices linked by a communication network, or bus.
The CPU is considered as the core of the machine where data is processed and program instructions
are interpreted. The main function of ALU is to perform arifmetic and logic operations such as
addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and selecting data.
But computer can’t do anything without programs. Programs, also called software, are detailed
sequences that direct the computer hardware to perform useful operations. A program is a set of
tasks of instructions telling computer how to input, process, store or output the data. These
instructions are prepared by a programmer.
The software comprises system software and application software. The system software direct the
computer to perform such tasks as running the computer, supplying inquiry information about the
computer, checking the computer performance. Application software is used to perform the
following user’s tasks: word processing, drawing, processing information.
The computer has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can solve a series of
problems and perform hundreds or thousands of logical operations in a fraction of the time. It helps
people living far from each other communicate through the Internet. The disadvantage with the
computer is that it has no originality. It works according to the commands given to it but without
feeling tired or bored which is very important. One of the greatest disadvantages is that it can break
down.
