Computers
1. Computers (from “to compute" - считать) are electronic machines. They communicate with the user, perform different kinds of arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, division and multiplication and solve a series of logical problems. Modern computers operate quickly and accurately.
2. Every computer consists of software and hardware. Information in the form of programmes and data is called software, but the pieces of equipment that make up the system are known as hardware.
3. The first general-purpose electronic digital computer came out in the USA in 1946. It was called ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer). ENIAC contained about 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighed more than 30 tons, occupied more than 1,500 Square feet of floor space, and consumed 150 kilowatts of electricity during 5,000 additions and 1,000 multiplications per second and was very slow.
4. In the late 1950s the second generation of computers appeared and these perform work ten times faster than the first computers. The reason for this extra speed was the use of transistors instead of vacuum tubes. The third-generation computers appeared in 1965. They performed a million calculations per second, which was 1000 times as many as first-generation computers.
5. By the late 1960s many large businesses depended on computers. During this time computer technology
improved rapidly. In the 1970s there appeared a microprocessor. And in 1975 American engineers devised the first personal computer, Altair. Millions of individuals, families and schools began to use PCs.
