What is Computing

First known computing device was the Analytical Engine

A computer that uses enzymes and DNA strands to perform specific computations. Can store billions time more data.

The military was a driving force to the development of computers

Credited with creating the world's first compiler, A-O and helped develop the worlds first programming language, COBOL.

This enables you to interact with the computer using application displays and icons rather than a text-based console.

Invented in 1950 as the first modern computer with a keyboard as an input device

CPU stands for Central Processing Unit

This person holds the patent for the first color PC monitor, and the first gigahertz chip.

Theorized that machines could store information and use algorithms to compute information. Could be taught to learn

To allow the user to give data or information to the computer.

RAM will store information if the power is OFF

Computers are able to perform tasks by using logic

Considered the first founder of computer programs?

A group of 2 or more devices connected to the same router is considered a what

Which of the following is the main component that connects all of the physical parts of a computer together?

To allow the computer to store information or programs.

Operating Systems like Microsoft Windows, manages how software uses hardware

A human readable way to write computer instructions

A router is considered a storage device

With binary, a 1 or 0 is called what

Business's ability to automate the production of goods was a driving force to the computers development

Physical components that process incoming binary data and emit electrical signals are logic gates

During World War II John Mauchly and Presper Eckert helped design the Analytical Engine as 1st general purpose computer

To allow computers to connect and communicate with other computers.

All computing devices do these 4 things: Take Input, Store It, Process It, and Output It

The simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions.

A number system with only 1's and 0's that give instructions to computers is called

What kind of a device is a speaker

BIOS stands for Binary Input Output Statistics

What kind of device is a web camera

What kind of device is a mouse

Foreign Language Translation is considered an application of Artificial Intelligence

One of the first uses of computers was to help explorers navigate

This allows a user to access the internet

Theorized and started creating the Analytical Engine which was never fully built

Is something that performs calculations by following and executing specific instructions to solve a problem.

Three main components of Hardware: Processor, Binary, and RAM

Because the amount of transistors will double a computers processing speed will double every 2 years

To allow the computer to display or communicate the result of a computation

Which of the following are programs that run on your computer and helps the user perform tasks.
