Computer is a tool used to process data according to procedures that have been formulated. The
original computer word was used for people whose work performed arithmetic calculations,
With or without tools, But the meaning of this word is then transferred to the machine itself.
Originally, almost proprietary information processing deals with arithmetic problems,But
modern computers are used for many tasks unrelated to mathematics.
In that sense there is a tool like slide rule, Type of mechanical calculator starting from abakus
and so on, Until all the contemporary electronic computers. "Over the years there have been
several different meanings in the word" computer ", And a few different words are now called
referred to as computers.
The word computer in general has been used to define people performing arithmetic calculations,
with or without auxiliary machines. According to the Barnhart Concise Dictionary of Etymology,
the word was used in English in 1646 as the word for "one who counts" then before 1897 is also
used as a "mechanical counting device".During World War II the word refers to US and British
female workers whose work calculates the artillery path of war with a calculating machine.
Charles Babbage designed one of the first calculating machines called an analytical engine. In
addition, a variety of simple machine tools such as slide rule can also be regarded as a computer.
Computers that we know today is the result of the development of electronics and informatics
technology so that the form of computers that are originally large and eating places, now in small
form with great ability. The progress of IC electronics component industry (integrated circuit)
has led to the creation of various IC chip devices that are diverse and support the various needs
of the manufacture of electronic products. The progress of electronics technology is inseparable
from the progress in the field of knowledge and processing of semiconductor materials,
especially silicon.
The benefits of today's computers range from writing, drawing, editing photos, playing videos,
playing songs, to analyzing data, research results, and to running programs to solve scientific,
industrial and business problems. The world of children has long been familiar with game play
tools controlled by computer systems. In industry, computers have been used to control high-
precision production machineries (eg CNC, a versatile machine in the metal industry) so that we
can meet a variety of different metal industry products and we imagine it is difficult to do
manually. Many machines in the garment industry are equipped with computer controls, for
example embroidery hats can produce caps with uniformly embroidered picture quality in bulk,
and in no time. In companies such as department stores have been used cash register machines
(checkout machines) equipped with computer controls so that the machine can be controlled by
the manager only from the work space alone. In the field of education, in addition encountered as
a learning tool, many laboratory equipment equipped with computers so that the tool can work
more thoroughly and can overcome the constraints of human sensory barriers. From the field of
education and research using such tools produced a variety of useful research results that do not
feel already widely used in everyday life. Various drugs for both human and agricultural health
and livestock have been widely used by the community. In the field of biotechnology, many
cultural equipments are equipped with computer controls to work in the sterile room. Australian
companies have developed robots for this biotechnology. The most advanced computer controls
are in airplanes and spacecraft. To be able to overcome various natural obstacles and difficult to
do by a pilot manually, an aircraft can be controlled automatically so that it can fly safely to the
destination.
So much the benefits of computers, for that in this paper was introduced about a computer and
how to assemble it. In this paper is not explained carefully how to build a computer electronic
circuit or build a computer software (software), to be able to know this you still have to study in
the field of Electronics and Informatics. This paper is intended so that you do not misunderstand
the computer or understand it, with you can know the parts of the computer, assemble and know
how to work especially know how to operate software application then you will feel the benefits
of such a large computer. Even though it is not described in the history of computer discovery,
you only need to believe that computers are the result of industry that utilizes various research
and testing results from several scientific fields. For example the field of science electronics,
informatics, management, chemicals, materials physics, physical chemistry, electrochemistry and
others.This is some computer technology that will be released in 2010, when viewed from the
form and sophistication of the technology that will come in 2010 is really very fantastic. TriBook
with three ultra wide screen concept that is 21? Wide screen. It also has an 8x SuperDrive, 1TB
hard drive, and MacBook Pro-calibre CPU, plus a multitouch keyboard trackpad,
- Processing
Central Processing Unit or CPU (Central processing Unit) role to process commands provided by
computer users, manage it along with the data on the computer. The unit or processing device
will also communicate with input, output and storage devices to carry out interrelated
instructions. In the original von Neumann architecture, he describes an Arithmetic and Logic
Unit, and a Control Unit. In modern computers, these two units are located in an integrated
circuit (IC - Integrated Circuit), which is usually called the CPU (Central Processing Unit).
The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is a tool that performs basic execution such as arithmetic
implementation (addition, subtraction, etc.), logical implementation, and comparative execution
(eg comparing the contents of two slots for equality). In this unit the actual "work" is done.
The control unit stores the current command performed by the computer, instructs the ALU to
execute and recover the information (from memory) required to execute that command, and
move the result back to the appropriate memory location. This unit controls the reading of
computer program instructions.
Computer parts
HARDWARE
Processor or CPU as a unit that processes data
RAM memory, where temporary data is stored
Hard drive, semi-permanent storage media
Input devices, media used to enter data for processing by UPS, such as a mouse,
keyboard, and tablet
Output devices, media used to display CPU processing outputs, such as monitors,
speakers, plotters, projectors and printers
SOFTWARE
The operating system is A basic program on a computer that connects users to computer
hardware. Commonly used operating systems are Linux, Windows, and Mac OS.
Operating system tasks include (but not only) manage program execution on it,
coordination of input, output, processing, memory, and software installation.
Computer programs are additional applications installed in accordance with the operating
system
Slot on computer
ISA / PCI, slot for non-graphical add-in card entries
AGP / PCIe, slot for additional graphics card input
