Computers

Computers are my favorite things to study on. From computer history,to modern transistors. Although I'm not the "math" type, I still love tounderstand how computers work. Topics of computers include memory,processing, and graphics are the ones I'm interested on. It's really cool how computers work, the way they use Binary Codes and "ancient" on and offcodes.
Now, let me share to you some things I learned about computers. Thefirst computer, the one widely known, is the abacus. Then, the first electronic computers, Mark 1 and ENIAC used primitive switches and "Vaccum Tubes". Vaccum tubes are the main component on how primitive computers do their job. The computing power of computers depend on the conductivity of the materials used, distance of computer components and the like.
The code of computers ( as what I know) is based on "on and off" signals; by rapidly sending a row of these codes, they create a specific instruction or data. These codes determine program instructions and "pixel" coordinates. As these codes get more complex, better systems evolve. Operating systems are the things that drive computers to work, and as time passes by, they get better and better! Computer speeds are measured by Gigahertz or in Megahertz. Processors, RAM (Random Access Memory) are the major aspects of getting a faster Computer. In computers, data has to be stored in it for it to be extra reliable. The codes created by the "peripherals" are stored in Magnetic Disks and has a unique address for later use. These things that I have written my friends, are only a sneak preview of the amazing world of PC's; learn about them, and get to know their amazing world!
