A transistor is a semiconductor device that acts as binary switch. It is the fundamental building block of computer circuitry. A computer designed to perform a specific function is called a special purpose machine. Input-process-output model describes computer processing. The system receives an input, processes the data and presents information to the user. Algorithm design, decomposition and abstraction. Data and programs were stored in a punched film during World War II. Moore’s law General purpose computers, dedicated systems and control systems. Machine intelligence is a field of study in which improvements are made to work a computer in a more human way. A computer is any device or machine that can be programmed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. Alan Turing developed a design for how modern computers would work with various programs to perform different functions. Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace Manufacturing process
