History of Computing

Humans have progressed from scratching numbers on a wall to electronically computing numbers in seconds that we could have spent an hour to maybe even a lifetime to calculate. However, today, computers are much more than numbers. Machines take our input, process it and then produce an output. A typical personal computer will have applications that play games, music, videos, send a text message, send an email and file, write a school paper, make an accounting spreadsheet for work or doing taxes, or create an entertaining slide presentation. All machines have many modes of input such a movable pointing device, display touch screen and microphone. They have thin flat screen video output, speakers and the ability to print to paper or other media.

In Modern PC Hardware, we will learn many facets of what makes up a computer and the operating system. At the end of the e-book, we should be able to pass a comprehensive examination covering current personal computers.
