Advancement in Computer 1950-2015


in early 1950’s two important inventions change the image of the computer field. These discoveries uses the magnetic core memories and the transistors circuit elements. This quickly found its way into new  models of digital computer.

These machines are very expensive and  were also complicated to operate. Such computers were mostly found in large computer centers, government organization and research &development laboratories. Those computers mostly worked on a single problem at a time. During this period, the major computer manufacturer’s began to offer a range of computer equipment with different rates as well as accessories such as:

  • Card Reader
  • Printer
  • Cathode-ray-tube

These were widely used in business for the following

  • Accounting 
  • Payroll
  • Inventory control 
  • Ordering supplies
  • Billing

Central processing unit(CPU) for these usage did not have to be very fast and were usually used to access large amount of records on a computer file. The computer systems were sold for applications such as hospitals, banks, defense etc.

More recent advancement

In 1980’s very large scale integration (VLSI), in which hundreds of thousand transistors were placed on a single chip became more and more common. The trend continued and led to the introduction of personal computer (PCs), which are smaller in size, inexpensive and used by individuals.
This new generation, the so-called “fifth generation” is using new technologies and will be capable of amazing features such as artificial intelligence. The cost of computer is rapidly lessening, and their convenience and efficiency are expected to increase in the early future.
 Recent advancement in computer and software technology are the base for the society of tomorrow. These fields required different sets of resources like computing hardware, internet, and software and hardware tools. Mobility technologies, Storage system, Management and Security technology.
Each year technology brings a wealth of advancement that could alter the future. Many of them are long way from being viable, and some may never come to fruition, but the mere fact that each day is another day chance for the world to solve the manage fuel crisis, or cure cancer is inspiring. Every year brought numerous huge advancement across multiple fields from holographic computer to a new blood test, that could help aid the early detection of cancer.
 Everywhere you look technology has a hand in pushing society forward, and closer to solving our biggest issues. Its impossible to know which of these will go on to actually impact to our daily life, but at their earlier stages the potential is enough. 
Its incredibly hard to make a list of best advancement in science and technology for a year. Each one feels just a vital as the next. All are in different ways and different reasons, at the end of it, a few stood taller than most.

Computer on a stick

Portable computers are nothing new, everywhere laptops, tablets even smartphones get more powerful and more capable of handling most uses of daily computing needs. Still, 2 intriguing pieces of hardware released in 2015 took the entire hardware of a computer and squeezed it into a device slightly larger than a tube of lipstick, and for a fraction of price. Intel’s computer stick turns any HDMI enables screen into a computer. Neither device will blow you away with spaces, but they open a wealth of possibilities for a small business, education & more.

Contact to multiple cellular network

Our relationship with mobile carriers has a grown more terse in recent years. And the technology industry has taken mote. T-Mobile is attempting to shove the idea of being an unvaried down our throats, while still retaining many of the debilitating secrecies that has defined the cellular services business, but other, genuinely interesting, ideas have to born from all the tension. One of them is Google’s project Fi, which not offer only aggressive pricing and refreshing simplicity, but is built on cool technology as well. Unlike the most SIM cards which connect to a single service provider, the Fi SIM allow a user’s phone to dance between WIFI, T-Mobile or Sprint and does so automatically depending on what signal is strongest. It’s a powerful idea, to have optimum connectivity with little hand-writing, but unfortunately for early adopters and big dreamers, Google’s project Fi still has goliath companies standing in its way. Nonetheless, the concept is game changing.
