alan turing
Alan Turing was the founder of computer science. he saved Britain from the Nazis by breaking there codes. Alan Turing was openly gay so sadly he killed himself by taking a bite of an apple full of sionide.
the four generations of computers
the first generation.
It is the Bendix G-15 General Purpose Digital Computer, a First Generation computer introduced in 1956. the first generation of computers were probably half the size of a normal sized house.
the second generation
Second-generation computers moved from cryptic binary machine language to symbolic, or assembly, languages. These were also the first computers that stored their instructions in their memory, which moved from a magnetic drum to magnetic core technology.
the third generation
Transistors were made smaller and placed on silicon chips, called semiconductors, which drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers.
the fourth generation
The microprocessor brought the fourth generation of computers, as thousands of integrated circuits were built onto a single silicon chip.

CPU facts
Computers in the 1940s were very large, filling up whole rooms. They took vast amounts of electricity to run and compute information. In the beginning computers were given simple tasks to carry out, like adding numbers together or moving information called "data" from one area to another. Computers interact with a number of different I/O (input/output) devices to exchange information. These peripheral devices include the keyboard, mouse, display, hard drive, printer and more.
mother board
A motherboard is a printed circuit board that is home to all the components necessary to make your computer run. These also include input/output, or I/O, plugs and ports.
INPUT/OUTPUT
an input device is something you put into your computer to get information from the real world to your computer, such as a mouse or a key board. an output device is something that comes from the circuits in the computer and lets you hear or see it, this includes a monitor or headphones.
