计算机简介（Computer profile） The computer (full name: computer; nickname: computer, English: Computer) twentieth Century is the greatest science and technology inventions, has extremely important influence on the production of human activities and social activities, and with the rapid development of strong vitality. Its application field from the initial military scientific research applications extended to all areas of society, has formed the huge scale of the computer industry, driven by technological progress worldwide, which triggered a profound social change. Computer has been in schools, enterprises and institutions, into the homes of ordinary people, has become an indispensable tool in the information society. It is an important symbol of human access to the information age. The computer was developed from an early electric calculator. In 1946, the first electronic digital computer ENIAC appeared in the world. It was used to calculate the trajectory. It was manufactured by the school of electrical engineering at University of Pennsylvania in the United states. In 1956, transistor computers were born, the second generation of electronic computers. As long as a few larger cabinets can accommodate it, and the speed of operation is greatly improved. The third generation of integrated circuit computers emerged in 1959. The original computer was invented by John von Neumann (then the computers computing power is equivalent to the present calculator). It has three warehouses that are large and gradually developed. The ENIAC, published in 1946, was used primarily to calculate trajectories. Manufactured by thes Institute of electrical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, it is of enormous size, covers an area of more than 170 square meters, weighs about 30 tons and consumes nearly 150 kilowatts of electricity. Obviously, such computers are expensive and inconvenient to use. This statement is widely used in computer basic textbooks, in fact in 1973 according to th
