FUTURE COMPUTERs

This document discusses the history and future of computers. It describes how Charles Babbage created the Analytical Engine in 1833, which was one of the first general purpose computers. It then defines different types of modern computers like supercomputers, mainframes, workstations, microcomputers, and microcontrollers. Finally, it discusses predictions for future computers in 2015, including solar-powered notebooks and pen computers that can be controlled with a stylus.

CHARLES BABBAGE (1791 1871):

Born in 1791, Charles Babbage was an English mathematician and professor. In 1822, he persuaded the British government to finance his design to build a machine that would calculate tables for logarithms. With Charles Babbage's creation of the "Analytical Engine", (1833) computers took the form of a general purpose machine.

The Varieties of Computers:


Supercomputers

Mainframes Workstations
Microcomputers Microcontrollers

Supercomputers:
1) Supercomputers were introduced in 1960s and were designed primarily by seymour cray . It is a fastest type of computer. Supercomputers are very expensive. It is used for animated graphics , fluid dynamic calculations , weather forecasting.

2) 3) 4)

Mainframes:
1) Mainframes were introduced in( 19501970). 2) The group of manufactures was first known as IBM and the seven dwarfs. 3) In 2012 , NASA powered down its last mainframe , an IBM system z9.

Workstations:
1) It is a high-end microcomputer designed for technical or scientific applications. 2) The term workstation has been used to refer to a mainframe computer terminal or a PC connected to a network. 3) Both microcomputers , workstations had offered higher performance than desktop computer especially with respect to CPU and graphics.

Microcomputers:
1) It is a small , relatively unexpensive computer with a microprocessor as its central processing unit (CPU) . 2) It includes memory and input / output facilities. 3) Many microcomputers are also PC.

Microcontrollers:
1) It is a small computer on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory and programmable input/output. 2) These are used in automatically controlled products and devices such as in office machines, power tools, toys.

The die from an Intel 8742, an 8-bit microcontroller that includes a CPU running at 12 MHz, 128 bytes of RAM

Tablet computer:
Specialized notebook equipped with touchscreen / tablet input. Instead of using keyboard, users could also input via handwriting recognition / virtual keyboard
