    This document provides an overview of information, technology, information technology, and the evolution of computers. It discusses how data is processed into information using bits and bytes. It defines technology and information technology. It also outlines the history of computers in four periods: pre-mechanical, mechanical, electro-mechanical, and electronic. Within the electronic period it describes the first four generations of computers from the 1940s to present in terms of their components and technological advances.

    Information

     Data – are raw unprocessed facts


    e.g. : text, numbers, images, sounds
     Information – processed data
    Microcomputers use the ASCII code to represent data.
     ASCII codes are composed of bits.
    1 = 00000001 255 = 11111111
    A = 10000001 a = 11000001
    Information

     Bits / binary digits – digits 0 and 1


    nibble = 4 bits
    byte = 8 bits
    - basic unit of measurement
    Technology

     the application of scientific knowledge for practical


    purposes, especially in industry.
     machinery and equipment developed from the application
    of scientific knowledge.
     the branch of knowledge dealing with engineering or
    applied sciences.
    Information Technology

     the study or use of systems (especially computers and


    telecommunications) for storing, retrieving, and sending
    information.
    Information and Communications
    Technology
     The totality of electronic means to access, create,
    collect, store, process, receive, transmit, present and
    disseminate information.

    The Mechanical Age (1450-1840)

     Create machines that will perform some


    tasks
     Blaise Pascal
     Charles Babbage
     Lady Ada Augusta Lovelace Byron
    The Electro Mechanical Age (1840-1940)

     The discovery of ways to harness electricity was the key


    advance made during this period
     Voltaic Battery
     Telegraph

     We currently live in.


    The first generation
     Generation of Digital Computing (1951-1958)

    The second generation


    (1959-1963)

    The third
    generation(1964-1979)

    The Fourth Generation


    (1979-Present)
    The first generation (1951-1958)

     Vacuum tubes as their main logic elements.


     Punch cards to input and externally store data.
     Rotating magnetic drums for internal storage of data and
    programs
    The second generation (1959-1963)

     Vacuum tubes replaced by transistors as main logic


    element.
     Magnetic tape and disks began to replace punched cards
    as external storage devices.
    The third generation(1964-1979)

     Individual transistors were replaced by integrated circuits.


     Magnetic core internal memories began to give way to a
    new form, metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) memory,
    which, like integrated circuits, used silicon-backed chips.
    The Fourth Generation (1979-Present)

     Microprocessors that contained memory, logic, and control


    circuits (an entire CPU = Central Processing Unit) on a
    single chip.
     Some have begun to call it the Information Revolution.
    Technological changes brought dramatic new options to
    Americans living in the 1990s.
