COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY WRITE FOR US
COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY Computer Technology is the study of the hardware and software that are the foundations of modern computer systems. Computersare now a fundamental part of everyday lives, controlling everything from toasters to nuclear power stations.
INTRODUCTIONOF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY Nowadays, Computers has penetrated every facet of our life. From leisure to social to conducting business, computers are increasingly more indispensable. In order to satisfy the increasing demands of savvier computer users, a wide variety of computers are developed to meet this need. Some examples of computers will be the mainframe, supercomputers, microcomputers, personal computers and others. In this report we will discuss more on the personal computers which is the most common computer. Computers technology is evolving every single day in order to satisfy the high demands of computers user. For example the personal computer has been evolving from the desktop computers to laptops, netbook, tablets and smart phones.
HISTORY OF COMPUTERS The great creation of computer technology begins with Charles Babbage, who developed the Difference Engine, which is considered being the first automatic computing system that was capable to compute several sets of numbers with equations. Unfortunately, he was unable to complete a totally functional machine because he has insufficient funds. The London Science Museum has completed the Difference Engine 2 at the bicentennial year of Babbage's birth. In year 2000, the printing technology had been added to the Engine as well.
Defining Laptop Some main components that are commonly used to define a laptop are: �Hard Drive �GPU (graphic processing unit/Graphic card) �Processor �Operating System �Battery �RAM
Hard Drive The hard disk drive (HDD) is the primary storage on the laptop. Unlike RAM, HDD keeps data while power is running in low profile, Saved remains in the HDD until you remove it manually. HDD space was limited during the early days that users went to great lengths to conserve some space. Modern HDDs are so capacious and affordable that most people now regard disk space as free. The disadvantage is that the modern HDDs can be troublesome to install and configure.
Processor The processor in the laptop motherboard provides the technology to determine the memory and other components the computer can access. Of course, the more number of processors, the performance of the laptop will be faster and smoother. The performance of the processor depends on the end user�s choice. Basic processor like Intel Core 2, Core i3 are for user that require basic uses like email, writing reports or any other office work. High performance or overclocking processors are for users who are into extreme graphical programs like Adobe After Effects (CS5) or game developing software that requires faster speed processing..
GPU The graphical processing unit is a circuit board that is connected to the laptop�s motherboard where it manipulates and enhances the image frame buffer rate. The higher bit rate of the GPU, the better and smoother, the graphical performance is. GPU also comes in various memory sizes from 1 Gigabyte to 4 Gigabyte. This is mostly recommended to gamers that wanted to enjoy their games on the go.
Operating System A laptop with an out-dated operating system will not be useful. So it is best to have a laptop with an updated operating system. Some common operating systems are Windows 7 and Windows XP. However, there is an operating system, Windows 8 which was recently released and brought a lot of inconvenience to the public as it is not compatible to some software. Windows 8 has a touch screen compatibility for mobile devices and new model laptop which has touch screen functions.
Battery The battery component of a laptop varies on the length of time the user is working on his laptop. If the user works longer hours it will be better to have a battery with longer life so there is no need to find power plug for charging. That is why consumer purchases laptop with more cells which is able to last for about 4-5 hours.
