!@
- Enormous in size #$
%^
&*(
- Relied on machine languages
- Ex: EDVAC and UNIVAC
2. 2nd Generation(ANSWER) - Used transistors, magnetic tapes, disks, and memory
- Punched cards for input and printouts for output
- Ex: FORTRAN and COBOL
3. 3rd Generation(ANSWER) - Used integrated circuits placed on semiconductors
- O.S. allowed multiple apps to run at the same time
- Focuses on business
4. 4th Generation(ANSWER) - Microprocessors
- Reduction in processor size, and increase in capabilities
- Use high level languages, portable and economical
- Focuses on home and office devices
- Ex: MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows
5. 5th Generation(ANSWER) - A.I.
- Quantum Computing
- Nanotechnology
6. Quantum Computing(ANSWER) Study of a non-classical model of computation.
Expected to reduce power consumption and will allow computing to surpass any and all
limits of traditional computing.
7. Central Processing Unit (CPU)(ANSWER) Responsible for processing all information
from programs run by your computer. Performs instructions of the computer programs.
8. Random Access Memory (RAM)(ANSWER) Hardware found in the motherboard. The
role is to temporarily store info created by programs.

, 9. Hard Drive(ANSWER) A storage device responsible for storing permanent and
temporary data.
10. Graphics Processor Unit (GPU)(ANSWER) Processes huge batches of graphical data
11. Expansion Card(ANSWER) A printed circuit board that can be inserted into a
motherboard to add functionality to a computer system.
12. IPOS Mode(ANSWER) Input-Process-Output-Storage
13. Registers(ANSWER) High speed storage areas in the CPU. All data must be stored
here before it can be processed.
14. Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)(ANSWER) Contains circuitry that performs
operations on data (such as addition and subtraction).
15. Buses(ANSWER) Wire that server as electrical roadways, transmitting
information be- tween the CPU and other components.
16. Address Bus(ANSWER) Carries the destination address of where the data is assigned
to be processed.
