CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTERS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Computer is classified as | 1. The Type of data processed 2. Size and capacity 3. The Purpose or scope 4. The Age of technology |
| Classification of computer according to the data process the 3 categories are | 1. Digital 2. Analog 3. Hybrid |
| process information in a binary form, using discrete values and designed to follow instructions. | Binary data process |
| is a type of computer that processes data in continuous form, of smooth curves or graphs from which information can be read. | Analog computer |
| a system that combines the features of both analog and digital computers | Hybrid |
| Classification of computer base on size | 1. Super computer 2. Mainframe computer 3. Mini computer 4. Micro computer |
| The largest and most powerful computers and Used for complex calculations and simulations. | Super computer |
| Large, powerful systems designed to handle and process vast amounts of data. | Mainframe computer |
| smaller than mainframes but larger than personal computers. | Mini-computer |
| Smallest category, designed for individual use. | Micro-computer |
| Classification of computer THE PURPOSE OR SCOPE | 1. General Purpose Computers: 2. SPECIAL PURPOSE COMPUTERS |
| Classification of computer based on THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY | 1. First generation 2. Second generation 3. Third generation 4. Four generations 5. Fifth generation |
| First generation of computer was introduced in the year | 1940s - 1950 |
| Second generation of computer was introduced in the year | 1950s - 1960s |
| Third generation of computer was introduced in the year | 1960s - 1970s |
| Fourth generation of computer was introduced in the year | 1970s |
| Which generation of computers used Used Vacuum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory. | First generation |
| Which generation of computers used Transistors were used instead of vacuum tubes. | Second generation |
| Which generation of computers used Integrated Circuits (ICs) replaced transistors. | Third generation |
| Which generation of computer used used Microprocessors (chips with millions of transistors integrate) | Fourth generation |
| Which generation of computers used Uses Artificial Intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and advanced parallel processing. | Fifth generation |
