The Technology Behind A Computer

Since the 1980 's, the growth of the technology sector has been exponential. The introduction of the personal computer (PC) was the true catalyst for the growth in popularity of computer technology. With this introduction also came the growth in popularity of being a computer scientist. The code used to write the software for these personal computers was brand new and easy to use. What made it easy to use was the fact that the computer code for the PC was very similar to the English language; whereas, previous computers used punch cards as a way to program them.. This change was revolutionary because it allowed anyone to learn how to program a computer. This, coupled with the major computer advancements occurring in the United States, such as the internet, created the idea that becoming a computer scientist almost guaranteed you a job. At the time, this was true. The idea still is mostly true, however, many computer science jobs, usually Information Technology (IT) and other entry level jobs that involve programming, have been moved overseas. This shift to outsourcing is not very widespread as some people might think, but it could become widespread with the increase in quality of life and job availability in other countries. The outsourcing, while currently not a major issue, does have very real consequences for the future. Such consequences include lack of job availability for college graduates in the United States and, as a result, an increase in unemployment. Another

Throughout my educational journey, I constantly hone my knowledge in computer science. There is not a day where I did not polish my skills.

While self-studying for an AP Computer Science course, I found solace in discovering the most efficient piece of code to solve the most complex of problems. I was especially intrigued when I found that programming was like solving puzzles – each piece of code is crucial for building the entire system.

There are many different kinds of technologies that are available for the world to use today. We have the convenience of all different types data input and output devices and the means to store and make available at lightning fast speeds. Some of the input devices that we use every day are essential in different kinds situations and projects everyday. We also use many different types of output devices to view our finished product. The input devices that we use are keyboards, scanners, a mouse, and a few others in there as well. We use output devices to see our finished result or our desired outcome just as much, or if not more than input devices. Some of these output devices are monitors, printers, LCD

I always loved programming and it is because of my interest, I participated in different coding competitions and also organized some of the programming events like blind coding in C language, etc .During my college’s festival events like Excelsior, etc. This experience proved to be useful as during these events I realized how much I adore these

Growing up in the information age, everybody in my generation is influenced by computers. Not merely regarding computers as a toy or tool in my childhood, I was curious about the computer itself - how it works and what it can do for me. The first time I used programming was in primary school. Not printing “Hello, world” like others, I was able to draw pictures and even create games using Logo programming language. The charm of programming is very attractive to me. While in high school I participated in the National Olympiad in Informatics in Provinces (NOIP) and trained every day solving over 300 questions in total. Through unrelenting efforts, I was awarded first prize three times. Because of this experience I laid a solid foundation for my algorithm skills and it has taught me to always solve problems in a comprehensive way. Eventually, I was recommended for admission to the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) because of my specialty in programming and superior academic skills.

With computers, we went to the moon. With computers, are revolutionizing communication. With computers, we will become a utopia. The greatest technology of the modern world is computers without a doubt. Because this is the case, there are multiple career variants in the field of computer science, ranging from analog to digital, offline to online, and structured to creative. Digital graphic designers, software developers, web developers, and hardware specialists are all intertwined in this open field that is computer science.

Even though I had some basic knowledge of computers from school, I never realized their true potential until I started Computer science and Engineering undergraduate program in National Institute of Technology(VNIT), Nagpur, one of the premier institutes for engineering studies in India. Its here that I coded my first “Hello World!” programs in C, JAVA and C++. Other students already had hands on experience and command on the subject;competition was tough. I struggled initially but I knew better than to give up thanks to the training at home. I studied hard and maintained good grades.

As I began high school I decided to try my luck in the world of fantastic world of coding. My childhood writing experience had been in havoc for many years, as my mind had difficulty with anything that was not extremely systematic, consistently failing in matters of writing and history whilst exceling in mathematics and sciences. Going into high school I knew my strengths, and I most certainly knew my weaknesses. Computer science classes seemed like a stable route for me as I had heard of its systematic nature, for shame upon whoever told me that. As I began taking classes in C++ and Java in my freshman and sophomore years of high school, the enjoyable chaos that was computer science helped broaden my non-systematic abilities, consistently having to go out of my way to find round about ways to solve problems. By my junior and senior of high school, I had seemingly conquered the mentality needed to be a computer scientist, having won prizes for my code for my robotics team two years in a row. Via the outlet of coding I have added to my general literacy both in the forms of coding, as well as in the general sense of writing.

I chose Mechanical Engineering as my undergraduate degree for my love of machines. The vast and versatile syllabi of engineering strongly developed my conceptual understanding of the subjects but I still had the feeling of something incomplete. In the third year of my studies, we had a subject called Computer Oriented Numerical Methods, which used programming to solve mathematical programs using MATLAB. I was surprised by the pace of which I picked up programming concepts and applied it to solve equations. I had the highest grades in the subject and this is when I found my missing piece of the puzzle i.e. programming. I was exposed to a completely new

My interest in electrical and electronics engineering was sparked at a very early age; I always wondered how TV shows picture on screen or electric current runs so many home appliances. In my summer holidays I went to my uncle’s house. Here most of the time I ask questions about electrical and electronics equipments to my uncle who was an electrical engineer. Everything about electrical and electronics fascinated me! I wanted to learn and understand how these machines around us worked. I had the urge to learn more and more and that eventually led to my decision to pursue a career in electrical engineering.

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. It was during my high school time when I first learnt about computers and it really piqued my interest. The incredible pace at which the field of computer has expanded fascinated me since childhood and lured me to explore it more. It is my deepest desire to be a part of this rapidly burgeoning community which is when I decided to dedicate my life to learning new computer technologies.

Computer science has changed the way we live our lives in many ways. Computer engineers strive to make our life faster, easier and more organized. The words of Steve Ballmer sum up the vital importance of the sector today - ‘The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.’ I feel privileged to be a part of this community that plays a major role in advancements of human lives. Whether it is entertainment, business, production or medicine, computers are everywhere, making people’s jobs much easier

It had really intrigued me to see how computing has revolutionized many spheres of life- from a simple accounting software and smartphone applications to complex system analysis in space exploration. All these advances aroused my curiosity to explore the opportunities which ultimately led me to select Information Technology as my major for Graduation at National Institute of Technology (NIT), Durgapur, a premier engineering school in India. During the four years of my undergraduate course, I gained an in-depth knowledge of the core areas of Computer science and built a good mathematical base.

What made modern computers possible- Is The invention that could do calculations and other information with no moving parts. Which was electronic components. Electronic components a fast efficient machine such as Babbage (who designed the mechanical calculating machines that are the ancestor of computers today) proposed could be built with all four components essential to modern computing.
