Hi, there. From the beginning of the internet era to today, the computing power of computers has increased dramatically every year, which satisfies our computing needs because no one is perfect. We are very slow to develop the human brain, and computers can help us do the computing work that people cannot do. So I am very much in favor of computers, and web 3.0 is one of the opportunities for me to keep up with the Internet wave again.
What else can I help you with?
What existed before computers?
Before computers, we used typewriters for document processing, adding machines for mathematical computation and libraries for research. Since email did not exist, we had to use letters, telegrams, telex or the telephone for communicating with people at a distance.
Where the computers came from?
They were just basically calculators. People needed better ways and faster ways to solve equations. They called it the computer, because it did the job of a computer, which was actually the name given to a person who did calculations.
How many people understand computers?
There are millions of people who understand computers. This comes from the growing age of needing to understand how computers work.
How many people in UK own computers?
The amount of people own a computers in uk are:783.5
Computers are distinguished from other computing devices by their ability to?
Assuming that computers a subset of the higher class of "computing devices" then the first question is what belongs in the computing devices higher class that doesn't belong in the computers subclass. It's difficult to say because everything that belongs in the computing devices class could be classified as a "computer" as well, because it computes by definition of being a computing device. Typically when we refer to computers, we specifically mean main frame computers, mini-computers, or personal computers. We don't typically mean cell phones, calculators, or personal data assistants (PDA's) though all of these undoubtedly compute. What distinguishes computers from these devices, in general, is their ability to be programmed to do custom tasks that they were not originally developed to do. Most of the other computing devices can not be programmed in and of themselves to do other tasks they were not originally designed to do, however there are exceptions. Cell phones can run custom applications (though you cannot typically write the applications on the cell phone itself. The same goes for PDAs and calculators. Some of the more complex calculators are not unlike some of the first personal computers in their ability to be programmed, but their programming power is rather limited. In short, computers can be programmed, but so can many of the other computing devices, but still it does distinguish them from many of the other computing devices because ALL computers can be programmed, whereas only a subset of the other computing devices can be programmed.
Were computers developed from primitive calculators?
yes
What can calculators do that computers cant do?
Fit in your pocket
Are mechanical calculators classified as computers and are they universal Turing machines?
No, and no.
What element is shiny silvery metal used in computers and calculators?
nickel
What things inside your house use negative numbers?
computers, calculators
In what way do computers think?
They don't think at all, actually. They do math. Computers are just simply fancy calculators.
What has the author C Louis Hohenstein written?
C. Louis Hohenstein has written: 'Using programmable calculators for business' -- subject(s): Business, Data processing, Programmable calculators 'All about hand-held and briefcase-portable computers' -- subject(s): Laptop computers, Pocket computers
Why are you so useless and mathematically inept?
Because computers, iPhones, and calculators do everything for us
How does the saying 'garbage in garbage out' apply to computers and calculators?
'Garbage In Garbage Out' is a phrase that indicates that computers cannot give a right answer if they have the wrong data.
What semiconductor is used in calculators?
Silicon based semiconductors are the most commonly used semiconductor material in calculators. Silicon semiconductors are also extensively used in computers.
Why do computers and calculators utilize the base 2?
Computers and calculators utilize the base 2 because it is easier to program binary numbers (base 2) into the computer than decimal numbers (base 10).
How were thing done before computers?
Mostly by hand. Desk calculators and slide rules helped.
