Transcripts
reading Okay let's discuss the history
of the computer Let's start First with
the topics that needed to be discussed
meaning the introduction the evolution
of the computers the Generation of
computers the classification of
computers that is according to purpose
according to data handles and according
to capacity so let's start the
introduction of this during the earliest
of computer system ah noon pa naman
there is a computing word na tinatawag
pag sinabing computing word is about
computing Kaya nga ang computers has
been developed or generated because it
is for computing purposes meaning for
computing
purposes we define about
counting Okay
so when we're talking about counting
we're talking about number system ang
computer kasi exclusively ginawa yung
for computing purposes it's not for
entertainment and so on and so forth So
this human computers were typically
engaged with calculation of Mathematical
expression could be followed by this
time calculation for that periods are
very expensive during the years of
training in mathematics napakamahal at
higit sa lahat well trained na mga tao
ang nakakagamit lang so the first use of
the word computer was recorded in
1613 it refers to a person who carries
out the calculation or computation and
the word continue to be used in the
middle of 20th century so let's start
First with this evolution of pictures of
computer system basically during that
time there would be no Mouse Okay so
particularly We only have Keyboards and
syntax during the 16
1960s so it's more on keyboard
processing wala pa mga Mouse during that
time Let's start first to discuss the
evolution of computers so we have here
the pre modern era then we have the
first second third fourth and the fifth
generations or the future Generation
Let's talk about first the pre modern
era so there are three classification of
devices that evolves during the
premodern era ito iyung mga manual
mechanical devices electromechanical and
including electronic devices Let's start
with this t stick This is a manual
device a stick ancient memory memory aid
device para ma-record yung mga documents
numbers quantities or even messages
They're using this one t sticks nung
dati so This was for the ancient time
operated manually so there is no
involvement of electricity then we have
the abacus this was been invented in
China Chinese people are using this it's
for counting purposes So this is a
counting frame and it is considered the
first man-made computing
device ginamit din to ng matagal for the
Centuries dahil ito is for counting
purposes Okay so the first man-made
computing device from China and that is
the
abacus followed by the nap bone which
been invented by
nap So ano nga ba
yung na bone na yan unang-una ang sabi
nila rito is manually operated device so
dito nakakapag compute tayo ng
calculation for products quotient square
and including the cubs So it is a
manually operated Okay so ang ginagawa
nito siguro pag iner niyo to ngayon
Syempre mahihirapan tayo using the
multiplication table that time we
embedded in the rods multiplication that
can be reduced to addition operations
yung mga division and including
subtraction advance nito na paggamit ng
mga rods can extract square roots Okay
not on the same as the logarithm
function but not pure name is associated
based on the multiplication table so ito
yung ginagamit nila for Multiplication
and division table during that time
1500s Okay then we have what we call the
outrage slide R So ano ito isang
mechanical analog computer
Ito okay so sinabi natin consisting of
movable pars na nagis in scale that use
approximation for solving problems
1632 n na-develop to English mathema
naman majority developers in terms of
computing so si William outre is a
English mathematician naes niya to for
adjustable logarithmic rule na tinatawag
natin kaya nandyan yung
logarithms at na shown ito in different
types of Photograph so dito may mga
Familiar sa inner sliding tool na
nagagamit ito on na specific type of
theories sabi nila it is made easier
pag log relations ang pinag-uusapan
develop on the number line ng mga
displacement ng mga numbers yung may mga
proportional number of lugs so yan si
outre slide
rule then we have The Blaze Pascal
pascaline calculator so is called the
adding machine
nagpa-plano lang nito is to add and
subtract two numbers two specific
numbers mo ang laki niyan ang ginagawa
lang is to calculate a certain device
which is adding two numbers and
subtracting the two
numbers then step reckoner So this is
invented by got PR willam ln in
167 So anong ginagawa nitong computer na
ito this type of invention can do add
subtract multiply and divide
automatically so sa mga museum makikita
niyo yang mga
yan then the father the modern computer
we have Charles bage he invented the
bage difference and analytical and So
ano ginagawa nito analytical engine or
embodied most of the design ng computer
so nandito yyung may nagcompute ng mga
tables and analytical engine na capable
for any mathematical problems Kaya nga
ang tawag dito is sa General purpose
computer that time eh so dinesign din to
ni Charles bage which is an english
mathematician and Computer pioneer along
with lady augusta is the first
programmer no sila yyung medyo tandem
diyan most of them in the field of
computing are scientist or mathematician
So saan ba ginagamit Ong analytical
machine during that time it was been a
general purpose computer pag sinabing
general purpose computer yag kahit saan
in terms of automatic and mechanical so
Papunta na siya from the digital way but
basically during the time is hindi pa
makapag-perform ng any calculation into
digital form so meaning the Charles bage
machine or it analytical engine na ito
developed during
183 pa tayo buhayan tagal-tagal yan Ato
naman yung pinaka
Successful na calculating machine na
nacci lifee ito ung tinatawag nating
arithmometer So yung arithmometer by
Thomas de colmar in around 1820s yung
pinaka mas maliit reliable useful and
commercially successful calculating
machine so the Machine can perform for
basic mathematic functions so the first
mass produce of calculating machine so
ito yung tinatawag na arithmometer
then followed by the evolution would be
the electronic device dito na nag si
tinatawag nating ABC computer so si ABC
computer tinatawag nating Atan of very
computer So this is the first special
purpose digital computer na nags ng
simultaneous equation nael ni Atan so
particularly This is an electronic
device
na meron ng mga circuit boards or
integrated circuits may mga transistors
and mga silicon Chips at gumagamit ng
electrical switches
circuit Okay unlike yung mga dati is
manually operated pero ngayon this one
is electronically operated so ABC
computer or the atof ber computer then
we have the
en So how do we define this enac
computer si computer or tinatawag
electronic numerical integrator and
calculator ito yung tinatawag nating
first programmable na electronic general
purpose computer so particularly it was
been develop around
1945 so ito ay dinevelop nitong mga to
ni johnley
and so Para saan ba ito unang-una ang
gamit ng en computer is dinesign para sa
specific goal compute ng mga values of
artillery range tables mga plug boards y
mga yan and instructional of different
types of speed in machine So kung
titingnan niyo laki niyan napakabigat
din
niyan electronic delay storage automatic
calculator is also known as what we call
the ebd or the electronic binary digital
computer meaning this type of machine or
the edsac has been already read by
binary numbers which is one zer So this
type of computer system is under by the
Bond human machine Principles by using
the binary numbers that is 10 10 so doun
lang nababasa nung computer yung
tinatawag na binary digit numbers para
makapag-interpreta
walala ito no na hindi natin
maiintindihan Ong mga computer na to
kung panahon ngayon because it is needed
are well-trained person or people were
Operating the computer system during
that
time so Ayan siya Paano niyo mao operate
si so meaning we need a expert on those
specific type of machines this computer
during
the I think around 1800 to 1900 even in
1900s bihira ang may computer kasi nga
mahal at mahirap gamitin now Let's move
on to the first generation of computers
during the first generation of computers
from 1951 to 1958 there are size of
computers during the first generation
frame na tinatawag yung mga malalaking
to merong vacuum tubes at merong
magnetic drums na nakakapag process ng
1,000 instructions per seconds birin mo
1,000 instruction per seconds during the
time from 1951 to 1958 and those are the
unib we have the universal automatic
computer so This was first
commercialized business by John erer and
John matley so This is what we call the
same type of the ibn 701 and the first
generation of BM computers first
generation is IBM 650 and the second to
that is most updated is the IBM 71 IBM
stands for international business
machine si IBM ngayon o kilala bilang
Lenovo Okay so kung titingnan niyo kung
sino may pinakam magandang brand talaga
ng computer we're talking about Lenovo
because the IBM machine came from them
it is the first automatic computer
during its Generation
for the second Generation computers
Medyo naging mabilis ang facing there
are a lot of transistors and magnetic
for so the processing speed mas bumilis
is milyon for instructions there is 4
seconds and the size is a main frame
malakihan pa rin ang mga computers that
time so we have the super computer
during that time soic is one example of
a second Generation
computer most of the first
transistorized maraming transistors
computer more example of this are the
second gen computer are the univac and
the IBM 7070 7090 and the
1400 series they are called in simply
the supercomputer because of the process
in terms of speed for the third
Generation mini computers already become
available so ito na yung mga major
hardware features na merong mga
tinatawag na integrated circuits or IC
yung mga Chips na nakakapag process
maliit na yan ha maliit na wala ng mga
transistors p mga vacuum tube so dito
ang speed niya maliit Pero
10 million instructions per second
napakabilis for this circuit boards
nauso na yung tinatawag nating 360 ng
IBM system which is the first general
purpose machine used in science and
including business
solutions so during this time
nagkakaroon na ng tinatawag nating
process ng improvement on the computer
system during the third Generation at
papasok ngayon si fourth Generation
computers from the
1971 up to present So Here meron tayong
tinatawag na nandiyan pa rin ang mga
mainframe mini computers and including
micr computers pero meron tayong
tinatawag na kakaiba rito the micro
processor or The Large scale integrated
circuit mas maliit na mga processor pero
ang mga processing speed ay aabot ng
billion of instructions per second yung
iba nga billions per millisecond sa
bilis as TH small computers become more
powerful so dito na pumalo yung mga pum
na intel AMD o yung Alam niyong mga mga
I series like i3 i5 pum or including mga
a series ng ng AMD or yung ryzen so
together to form a network which
eventually led to the development of the
interconnected network or the
internet So Here the fourth Generation
as you can see there are graphical user
interface meron ng Mouse at meron ng mga
handheld devices so dati yung during the
third Generation are black and white
screen Okay black and white screen lang
ang makikita niyo It's more on command
line interface or more on coding ngayon
It's more on the graphical use interface
may nakikita na kayo doon sa mismong
output resolution ng monitor screen Okay
into a graphical way na madaling
maintindihan ng tao kasi dati bihira ang
makagamit ng computer and there is the
handheld devices Now let's proceed with
the fifth generation of computers for
the present and up to the future So Here
there is one thing that is very critical
which is the artificial intelligence for
the ai so it's still in development ai
was been developed during 1960 pero
hindi naging talamak or naging masyadong
sikat pero ngayon mas nagiging sikat
because the ai help us to do in terms of
reality develops a respond of a natural
language input which is capable for
Learning and assult organization but
basically artificial intelligence we
cannot say It's 100% dependent for the
human Okay kasi nandyan na yung mga
voice recognition na ginagamit Kaya nga
may mga disadv and advantages pa rin ng
technology even for this time so for the
Generation It's more on microprocessors
and superconductors na napakabilis and
including the artificial intelligence
which do the processing to make more
faster that is the birth of the big data
during that time so let's talk about the
classification of computers when we're
talking about the classification of
computers how we classify the computers
yung mga dati at sa ngayon start first
based on a type when we're talking about
this we have analog digital hybrid and
the base for force merong general
purpose merong special purpose sa size
naman may microcomputer may mini
computer main frame and including super
computer so let's identify each Let's
start First with the according to the
purpose pag sinabing according to the
purpose meron tayong tinatawag na
general purpose ginagamit ko panglahatan
so instructions ito may perform variety
of operation pwedeng itong pangpersonal
pwedeng pang entertainment pwedeng pang
games pang storage pang network or kung
ano yung ginagawa typically sa isang
desktop computer system and even on
laptop computer so that is a general
purpose computer pag sinabi naman nating
digital computer So it refers to a
machine that specialize in counting
digitalize meaning that is a dynamic
counting values nagbabago-bago and that
are discrete or separate incl of this
thing meaning the process itself is
continuous that is a digital
computer analog computer naman from the
word analogous meaning it It's a similar
analog computers are used for Scientific
engineering and process control purposes
som how ginagamit Ong specialized
computer kasi nga kung titignan niyo
Talagang wala kayong makikitang digital
form diyan for example yung analog
speedometer sa mga automobile is compos
of analog signals so hindi rin maganda
analog signals dati okay dahil mabagal
pero ngayon analog signals are the most
safest Because digitalized is Marami ng
nagkakaroon ng tinatawag nating threats
So kaya yung iba naga analog way of
process It's like a Automatic versus
manual manual override versus the
automatic
override then we have the hybrid
computers hybrid hybrid computers
combination of this analog and digital
computers so widely accepted ito na yung
ginagamit natin during the vice ver of
computer system so The Special purpose
machine called a hybrid computers So it
combines different types of measuring
Capabilities may logical capability
pagdating sa digital sa analog naman may
capability to do a Static a Static
performance so when we combine analog
computer and a digital computer we're
talking about the hybrid computer so ito
na ngayon yan then we have the super
computers based on the capacity pag
sinabing capacity It's about the size on
how it handles the data so These are
arguably the most powerful in terms of
speed and accuracy mabilis at higit sa
lahat kayang mag-hold ng a volt mass of
data so there are computers used in
solving complex mathematical computation
and executing trillions of instruction
for seconds meaning that This is what we
call the flops or the floating point
operation for seconds supercomputers are
widely R Uh widely used in terms of
Business Solution companies yung mga
malalaking company like Facebook Google
yung may mga servers na all over the
world they are connected through a
certain server so they are need of super
computers to handle their instructions
per seconds ang dami niyya kunyari may
pumindot lahat sa computer and that is
going on a specific type of website
lahat siyang
ipa-print frame computer When We are
talking about the main frame computer
This is a large size computer type same
with super computer but basically the
main frame computer can be seen for
business solutions and including Iyung
tinatawag nating supports in a certain
organization for example in our dearest
University there are things that we need
to understand about the mainframe
computer na ginagamit natin yan for
server purpose So lahat ng row data
ninyo mga files mga documents ninyo na
naka-igit So diyan sine-save sa server
na specific na
nag-mana itong ginagamit
nila So this is an example of a
mainframe computer malaki siya It's a
bulk computer sir Ano ba purpose niyan
purpose lang yan is for you to do
transactions ah there is what we call
input and output transaction to stored
pag maglalaro kayo hindi yan ano
masyadong
ah tinatawag nating ano nasa idea niyo
na gamitin Ian No it's not for work or
it's not I no sorry it's not for
entertainment purposes because it is
designed for
a trillions of functions also and
instructions so malakihan to then
ito napasok yung mga mini computers
during late 1960s so these are general
purpose
devices without monumental expenses
associated with a Larger system so ito
yyung Mga merong mga processing power
like ng mainframe computer but above of
the personal computers itself so
midrange computer ang tawag dito naging
popular during the 60s so dito na yung
birth ng tinatawag nating mga mini
computers gumagamit dati yung mga
restaurant nito no lalo na yung may mga
ordering
system
yan then we have the microcomputers
during the microcomputers these are
smallest Syempre less expensive and the
most used type of computers preferably
Marami na to pwede nating sabihin yung
mga personal computer niyo peripherals
type yung mga personal computer laptops
computer mobile computer the work
station and including some embedded
computer yung mga handheld devices ryo
Okay so that's
it generation of computers can be vital
for us but
basically because of the power of the
artificial intelligence we need to be
more attentive on What are the latest
development and innovations that's why
it's very
critical now the one thing that we need
to understand is about from the manual
It become automated
y is n computerized yung iba nagiging
from digitalized to automation so Ang
layo na ng narating tinatawag nating
development in this type of specific
devices
