Video and Picture Page


This is a video that a student made for a class project. It tells briefly about the history of computers and where they first started. This video tells about all the different types of computers and where they first and how they worked. This is helpful because it tells you how the earlier computers where designed. This video also tells about the newer computers as well as portable computers. 


The First Computer 
This is a picture of the ENIAC. This computer weighed 30 tons was with the dimensions of 8.5 feet by 3 feet by 80 feet and took up about 680 square feet. This computer had 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, 1,500 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors and approximately 5,000,000 hand-soldered joints. It could consume 150 kilowatts of electricity when it was on. 




In this video it talks about how Apple and Microsoft were started. Bill Gates made the first electric calculator and Steve Jobs hacked cell phones to make long distance calls. Later each of them went on and made multi-million dollar businesses. Bill Gates was the inventor of Microsoft, the Xbox, the Xbox 360, and a lot of other useful devices. Steve Jobs was the Inventor of Apple which produces new devices every year. They have invented the Ipad, iPod, iMac, and many other devices.  















This is a picture of the Apple computer. This is a high-tech computer invented by apple. The speed of the processor or the CPU is measured in Hertz or cycles per second. Similar to the memory, the metric system is used to define the speed of the system. The higher the processing speed, the quicker the computations. The memory is incredible for a small computer like this one. 





This is a video of the new Surface by Microsoft. This is a computer and a tablet in one. The Surface has a detachable key board when you need it. The Surface has a frontward and rear facing camera. The rear camera is set at 20 degrees so when you put the kick stand out the camera is looking straight ahead.
