Introduction
Even though we use computer everyday, did you know that the first computers was called the “supercomputer�?, do you know who invented the first computers? Do you know what is inside of the computers? In this book, I am going to tell you about the details in the following pages.
Inventor/First computer
One of the first computers (Invented by J. Presper Eckert&John Mauchly) was a very huge machine that usually took over a whole room.
The first computers have this humongous tube that makes the computer work, It is really a high speed calculator that can do automatic addition, subtraction, multiplication, division etc. it also has a memory of 1,000 words.
The History
Started from the Babbage’s analytical engine. Back in the 1888’s, computer went through a lot of cycles, from mechanical to digital, developed many generation of programmable technology. •In 1936, Alan Turing made the Turing Machine, which provided concept of algorithm and computation. • In 1937 Atansoff built the first electronic digital computer. • In 1946, J. Presper Eckert built EDSAC, the first computer to add the stoned program. • In the 1980’s, the personal computer became a common as TV and telephone in the household items.
With all these years, the running speed of computer is gradually becoming faster and faster, the programs are getting more and more sophisticated, the memory in the computer become larger and larger, the applications are getting richer and more intelligent.
Components
Computer components are computer parts, including the motherboard, CPU, keyboard, mouse, monitor, modem (internet connector), and the other accessories. ! ! ! ! The most important component inside the computer is called the CPU. It is the core of the computer. It is kind of like the “brain� of the computer that controls what is the computer doing. It is made out of small electric elements called chips. Chips are these things that control the CPU.
Application
The application in can give us a lot of information. It can provide the search and internet when we are researching.
You can also do office works and school work with the applications. The applications are a very useful for the user of the computer.
Software
A software is an operating system, It makes the computer work following your orders. The popular software are Microsoft office, including Microsoft word, Microsoft Excel and power point. There are other applications that are software too, such as internet Explorer, e-mail, Skype and etc. ! Different from Microsoft software, MacBook have different Software, There are some interesting software for example: garage band, keynote, voice candy and Instagram.

Capabilities of computer •Can do perfect mathematics •Can store documents •Can help to search for and store information •Can check errors •Can replace for pencils and papers •Can manage people’s calendar
Future
The Ipad now are already giving us a glimpse of our future technology. that it cannot wipe out humanity in the future.
The computers in the future can be estimating the weather and predict the weather in the following weeks, it can also destroy the humanity on earth. As the computer give us more information, it becomes more smart and intelligent so there is no reason that it can swipe out humanity in the future.
Glossary
Analytical: Capable of analyzing Modem: A device that transfer data in or out of the computer, by using telephone and other electronic device Application: Design to guide the computer’s performance CPU: the central processing unit, it gives order to the computer Humanity: is a term use to describe the human race as whole !
