In this week, we have learned the generation of computer which is, the first generation (Vacuum Tube), the second generation (Transistors), the third generation (Integrated Circuits), the fourth generation (VLSI/ULSI) and the fifth generation (now and the future).
Besides that, we also learned about the computer architecture which consist of five component. That is, processor which contain control and datapath, memory, input and output. There are a few categories of computer. Such as, embedded computers, mobile devices/computers, personal computers, midrange servers, mainframes and supercomputers.
We also learned about the system unit, motherboard, processor, central processing unit (CPU), registers, main memory, volatility, Random Access Memory (RAM), and Read Only Memory (ROM). Input is any data and instructions entered into the memory of a computer. While, output is data that has been processed into a useful form.
