What is Computer - Basic Information


Here we will talk about what is Computer. In simple language, a computer is an electronic device. You probably already know this answer. So you must be thinking, why again this article about which we already know everything.

Just wait. Today I want to tell you what is the basic computer, these Hindi, you may know something in advance, but my objective is that you should be informed about the whole computer and not half of it. I know you know basic computer information. But do you know how it works, who made it before, through which kisses it has passed. How many changes have been seen in the characteristics of computers in so many years.

The computer that we are using today is the result of years of hard work of many scientists behind it. At the same time, with half the incomplete knowledge, you have full knowledge. Today I want to give you the complete information about this machine along with what you call this article, what is the main part of it, what is the full form of computer and how does it work. Then, let's start the delay and know what a computer is.
Computer is a machine that editing functions according to certain guidelines. There is an electronic device, which is designed to work with information. The term is derived from the word "computare" the Computer, Latin. This means to Calculation or calculated.

It has three main functions. The first is to take the data which we also call Input, the second task is to process that data and the other task is to show the processed data which is also called Output.

Input Data → Processing → Output Data

Who invented computer? The father of modern computers is called Charles Babbage. Because they were the first was designed to Mechanical computer, which is also known as the Analytical Engine. In this, data was inserted with the help of Punch Card.

So we can call a computer an advanced electronic device that takes raw data from the user in the form of input, then processes that data through a program (set of Instruction) and finally the result as Output Publishes. It processes both numerical and non numerical (arithmetic and logical) calculations.

The full form of computer?
Technically there is no full form of computer. Yet the computer has an imaginary full form,

C - Commonly,
O - Operated,
M - Machine,
 P - Particularly,
U - Used for,
T - Technical and
E - Educational,
R - Research
If you translate it in Hindi, it will be something like this, the common operating machine is specially used for business, education and research.

History of Computer 
It cannot be properly verified that the development of computers has been started since. But officially computer development has been classified according to generation. They are divided into 5 parts from the main tower.

When it comes to the generation of computer, then it means that computer's generations in Hindi. As the computer grows, they are divided into different generations to make it easier to understand them properly.

First Generation of Computer - 1940-1956 "Vacuum Tubes"
The first generation computers used Vaccum tubes for circuitry and Magnetic Drum for memory. They used to be very big in size. A lot of power was used to run them.

Being too big, it also had a lot of heat problem due to which it was also malfunctioned many times. Machine language was used in them. For example, UNIVAC and ENIAC computers.

Second Generation of Computers - 1956-1963 "Transistors"
In second generation computers, transistors replaced vaccum tubes. Transistor took very less space, was smaller, was faster, was cheaper and was more energy efficient. They used to generate less heat than the first generation computers, but still there was a problem of heat in it.

High level programming languages   such as COBOL and FORTRAN were used in them.

Third Generation of Computers - 1964-1971 "Integrated Circuits"
Coordinated Circuit was first utilized in third era PCs. In which the transistors were cut into small silicon chip called Semi Conductor. Due to this, the ability to do computer processing increased to a great extent.

For the first time, monitors, keyboards and operating systems were used to make computers of this generation more user friendly. It was first launched in the market.

Fourth Generation of Computers - 1971-1985 "Microprocessors"
It is the specialty of the Forth generation that Microprocessor was used in it.A huge number of coordinated circuits were inserted into a solitary silicon chip. This made it very easy to reduce the size of the machine.

The use of microprocessor increased the efficiency of the computer even more. This work was able to do a lot of calculations.
