The Parts a Computer



A personal computer can take on many guises. The most prevalent type of computer available in schools is the IBM-compatible model. Some schools opt for the Macintosh platform which can be an "all-in-one" unit or a modular unit. Modular units usually consist of the following separate components:

The Computer
The Monitor
The Keyboard
The Mouse
The Floppy Diskette Drive
The CD-ROM Drive
Peripherals

History of Computers

The development of the modern day computer was the result of advances in technologies and man's need to quantify. Papyrus helped early man to record language and numbers. The abacus was one of the first counting machines. . Some of the earlier mechanical counting machines lacked the technology to make the design work. For instance, some had parts made of wood prior to metal manipulation and manufacturing. Imagine the wear on wooden gears. This history of computers site includes the names of early pioneers of math and computing and links to related sites about the History of Computers, for further study. This site would be a good Web adjunct to accompany any book on the History of Computers or Introduction to Computers. The "H" Section includes a link to the History of the Web Beginning at CERN which includes Bibliography and Related Links. Hitmill.com strives to always include related links for a broader educational experience.

Random Access Memory (RAM)


There's too much "stuff" on your computer's hard disk to use it all at the same time. During the average session sitting at the computer, you'll probably use only a small amount of all that's available. The stuff you're working with at any given moment is stored in random access memory (often abbreviated RAM, and often called simply "memory"). The advantage using RAM to store whatever you're working on at the moment is that RAM is very fast. Much faster than any disk. For you, "fast" translates to less time waiting and more time being productive. So if RAM is so fast, why not put everything in it? Why have a hard disk at all? The answer to that lies in the fact that RAM is volatile. As soon as the computer is shut off, whether intentionally or by an accidental power outage, every thing in RAM disappears, just as quickly as a light bulb goes out when the plug is pulled. So you don't want to rely on RAM to hold everything. A disk, on the other hand, holds its information whether the power is on or off.
The Hard Disk
All of the information that's "in your computer", so to speak, is stored on your computer's hard disk. You never see that actual hard disk because it's sealed inside a special housing and needs to stay that way. Unlike RAM, which is volatile, the hard disk can hold information forever -- with or without electricity. Most modern hard disks have tens of billions of bytes of storage space on them. Which, in English, means that you can create, save, and download files for months or years without using up all the storage space it provides.
In the unlikely event that you do manage to fill up your hard disk, Windows will start showing a little message on the screen that reads "You are running low on disk space" well in advance of any problems. In fact, if that message appears, it won't until you're down to about 800 MB of free space. And 800 MB of empty space is equal to about 600 blank floppy disks. That's still plenty of room!

An Illustrated History of Computers








John Kopplin © 2002
The first computers were people! That is, electronic computers (and the earlier mechanical computers) were given this name because they performed the work that had previously been assigned to people. "Computer" was originally a job title: it was used to describe those human beings (predominantly women) whose job it was to perform the repetitive calculations required to compute such things as navigational tables, tide charts, and planetary positions for astronomical almanacs. Imagine you had a job where hour after hour, day after day, you were to do nothing but compute multiplications. Boredom would quickly set in, leading to carelessness, leading to mistakes. And even on your best days you wouldn't be producing answers very fast. Therefore, inventors have been searching for hundreds of years for a way to mechanize (that is, find a mechanism that can perform) this task.

This picture shows what were known as "counting tables" [photo courtesy IBM]

A typical computer operation back when computers were people.
The abacus was an early aid for mathematical computations. Its only value is that it aids the memory of the human performing the calculation. A skilled abacus operator can work on addition and subtraction problems at the speed of a person equipped with a hand calculator (multiplication and division are slower). The abacus is often wrongly attributed to China. In fact, the oldest surviving abacus was used in 300 B.C. by the Babylonians. The abacus is still in use today, principally in the far east. A modern abacus consists of rings that slide over rods, but the older one pictured below dates from the time when pebbles were used for counting (the word "calculus" comes from the Latin word for pebble).

A very old abacus

A more modern abacus. Note how the abacus is really just a representation of the human fingers: the 5 lower rings on each rod represent the 5 fingers and the 2 upper rings represent the 2 hands.
In 1617 an eccentric (some say mad) Scotsman named John Napier invented logarithms, which are a technology that allows multiplication to be performed via addition. The magic ingredient is the logarithm of each operand, which was originally obtained from a printed table. But Napier also invented an alternative to tables, where the logarithm values were carved on ivory sticks which are now called Napier's Bones.

An original set of Napier's Bones [photo courtesy IBM]

A more modern set of Napier's Bones
Napier's invention led directly to the slide rule, first built in England in 1632 and still in use in the 1960's by the NASA engineers of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs which landed men on the moon.

A slide rule
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) made drawings of gear-driven calculating machines but apparently never built any.

A Leonardo da Vinci drawing showing gears arranged for computing
The first gear-driven calculating machine to actually be built was probably the calculating clock, so named by its inventor, the German professor Wilhelm Schickard in 1623. This device got little publicity because Schickard died soon afterward in the bubonic plague.

Schickard's Calculating Clock
In 1642 Blaise Pascal, at age 19, invented the Pascaline as an aid for his father who was a tax collector. Pascal built 50 of this gear-driven one-function calculator (it could only add) but couldn't sell many because of their exorbitant cost and because they really weren't that accurate (at that time it was not possible to fabricate gears with the required precision). Up until the present age when car dashboards went digital, the odometer portion of a car's speedometer used the very same mechanism as the Pascaline to increment the next wheel after each full revolution of the prior wheel. Pascal was a child prodigy. At the age of 12, he was discovered doing his version of Euclid's thirty-second proposition on the kitchen floor. Pascal went on to invent probability theory, the hydraulic press, and the syringe. Shown below is an 8 digit version of the Pascaline, and two views of a 6 digit version:

Sony Mavica NVC-FD88 1.3MP Digital Camera



Item# sony-mvc-fd88
Regular price: $199.95
Sale price: $79.95
Product Description
The Sony MVC-FD88 Digital Camera is a notch up from the MVC-FD83 reviewed a couple of months ago. The salient differences in the cameras are:The FD88's 1/3" CCD contains 1.3 million pixels while the FD83's 1/3" CCD has 850K pixels.The FD88 zooms optically/digitally 8X/16X as compared to the FD83's 3X/6X.Oh, yes, the FX83 costs about $800.00 and the FD88 will set you back one grand.IN THE BOX. The attractive retail box includes the following items:Camera.Battery charger and cord.Operating Instructions in English and Spanish.warranty, safety instructions, misc. instructions, etc.CD with..ArcSoft PhotoStudio v. 2.0 SE, a photo editing/paint program.ArcSoft VideoImpression. Used to create, edit, playback, and E-Mail animated video.Mavica Floppy Utility.Audio-video cable (mini-plug to two RCA plugs for video and mono-audio).Shoulder strap.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. The Operating Instructions are well-written, amply illustrated, to the point, logically organized, and easy to follow. The index rather sparse.KEY FEATURES. One of the foremost features of this camera is that it stores images on 3 1/2" floppy disks. Floppies are cheap and provide an immediate interface to almost all PC's. You can even make copies of whole floppies with the camera and immediately share photos with your friends and family the next time you go to one those family reunions, etc. In my opinion, after working with cameras which require tapes or CompactFlash cards, this is the only way to go. Gone are peripherals, printer interface problems, and the requirement to upload to specially-equipped computers. The 4X floppy drive in this camera is much faster than the one in the MVC-FD7. Other key features include:1/3" 1300K pixel Progressive Scan CCD.Max. image size 1280 x 960The Progressive Scan CCD reads all of the pixels in a single pass for sharper pictures--not interlaced.8X Optical/16X digital zoom lens. f=5.2-15.6, 35mm conversion (f=37-111mm).Auto/manual exposure with six auto-exposure modes.Auto white balance.Back-lit 2.5" color LCD view panel.Shutter speeds (Auto): 1/30-1/4000 Sec.Voice and MPEG movie modes.Battery good for 1,500 shots per charge (so they say).Delayed shutter.Built-in flash.

Used to create, edit, playback, and E-Mail animated video.Mavica Floppy Utility.Audio-video cable (mini-plug to two RCA plugs for video and mono-audio).Shoulder strap.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. The Operating Instructions are well-written, amply illustrated, to the point, logically organized, and easy to follow. The index rather sparse.KEY FEATURES. One of the foremost features of this camera is that it stores images on 3 1/2" floppy disks. Floppies are cheap and provide an immediate interface to almost all PC's. You can even make copies of whole floppies with the camera and immediately share photos with your friends and family the next time you go to one those family reunions, etc. In my opinion, after working with cameras which require tapes or CompactFlash cards, this is the only way to go. Gone are peripherals, printer interface problems, and the requirement to upload to specially-equipped computers. The 4X floppy drive in this camera is much faster than the one in the MVC-FD7. Other key features include:1/3" 1300K pixel Progressive Scan CCD.Max. image size 1280 x 960The Progressive Scan CCD reads all of the pixels in a single pass for sharper pictures--not interlaced.8X Optical/16X digital zoom lens. f=5.2-15.6, 35mm conversion (f=37-111mm).Auto/manual exposure with six auto-exposure modes.Auto white balance.Back-lit 2.5" color LCD view panel.Shutter speeds (Auto): 1/30-1/4000 Sec.Voice and MPEG movie modes.Battery good for 1,500 shots per charge (so they say).Delayed shutter.Built-in flash.

Computer virus



A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without the permission or knowledge of the owner. The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, adware, and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can only spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive. Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer.[1][2]
The term "computer virus" is sometimes used as a catch-all phrase to include all types of malware. Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, crimeware, and other malicious and unwanted software), including true viruses. Viruses are sometimes confused with computer worms and Trojan horses, which are technically different. A worm can exploit security vulnerabilities to spread itself to other computers without needing to be transferred as part of a host, and a Trojan horse is a program that appears harmless but has a hidden agenda. Worms and Trojans, like viruses, may cause harm to either a computer system's hosted data, functional performance, or networking throughput, when they are executed. Some viruses and other malware have symptoms noticeable to the computer user, but many are surreptitious.
Most personal computers are now connected to the Internet and to local area networks, facilitating the spread of malicious code. Today's viruses may also take advantage of network services such as the World Wide Web, e-mail, Instant Messaging, and file sharing systems to spread.A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without the permission or knowledge of the owner.
