Detailed Summary
1 COMPUTER STUDIES FORM 1 NOTES 1 2 INTRODUCTION TO MICROCOMPUTERS Section I Objectives In this section you will learn: ☞ The Rise and Development of Computers ☞ Computer Generations ☞ Characteristics of Computers ☞ Various Areas Of Computer Applications 1. The abacus and later mechanical implements were developed, but until the twentieth century no machine has been invented which could “store” a sequence of calculations and repeat them as required. Every calculation needed to be carried out afresh. It was a Victoria gentleman called Babbage who invented, in the late nineteenth century, the first “programmable” computer. Early in the twentieth century, the idea was developed of storing the instructions electronically, instead of mechanically, using valves. That was so successful that the first “real” computers were built; but the number, complexity and size of their components were so great that the machine were enormous in size and cost. 2 3 Until the mid-1950’s, computer development and use were largely confined to a few universities in Britain and the United States of America, here their main use was the rapid solution of mathematical and scientific problems.
Study Tips & Recommendations
Time Management
Practice under timed conditions to improve speed and accuracy. Allocate specific time limits to each section.
Active Practice
Attempt all questions before checking answers. Review mistakes to understand where improvements are needed.
Mark Scheme Review
Study marking schemes carefully to understand how examiners award points and structure your answers accordingly.
Regular Review
Schedule periodic reviews to reinforce learning and combat forgetting. Use spaced repetition for optimal retention.
