history and types of computers
HISTORY:
Computers come in many forms and sizes, with the capacity to perform a variety of applications and designed for use by either a single individual or by a large number of users. Once there were two basic types of computers, classified as analog and digital. The machines that we refer to today as computers are of the digital category and they function simply by comprehending and operating a binary system that uses the numbers 1 (on) and 0 (off). Their utility is notable, however, due to the amazing speed with which they can perform logical operations, making them of inestimable value to the users they serve who would be unable to match that efficiency without them.
Today’s categories of computers are more specialized forms of the digital computer. Examples include the microcomputer (what is more commonly known as the personal computer, designed for individual use either in the form of a desktop, laptop, handheld or palmtop), the server (an optimized computer designed to service a number of computers linked by a network), the mainframe (capable of handling large numbers of users and vast databases such as those of a corporation or university), and the supercomputer (highly expensive systems usually found in the form of computer clusters that are used by the military and scientific organizations due to their ability to perform the extremely intensive calculation work required for weather forecasting, molecular modeling and physical simulations.) But there is also another type of computer that is used in a more intangible way. This is the embedded computer, found in chips and crucial for the successful performance of anything from cell phones to jumbo jets.
Currently in development in universities throughout the world is the quantum computer, which shows great promise of breaking out of the binary mold of current digital computers. Quantum computers will work by harnessing the power of quantum states and will encode information as qubits.
TYPES:
Different type of computers
The most common computer used in today’s world are the desktop computers which were specially built for personal use be it at home or work. These computers are everywhere, from your office, to your house, schools, laboratories and even public places like a public library, universities and so on. There is a great chance that you have accessed this website using a desktop computer.
Today’s computers are brilliant at task management than many years ago. Today’s desktop computers can be used to communicate, produce music, edit photographs and videos, play sophisticated games, and much more.
As the name implies, a desktop computer is a full size computer that is too big to be carried around. Nowadays, most desktop computers are equipped with two primary hardware solutions – the monitor and a casing inside which is stored the central processing unit (CPU), the motherboard, the graphic card, storage devices, buses, power supply and so on.
A desktop computer is also equipped with a keyboard and mouse which are connected to their appropriate ports at the back of the casing.
Workstations
A workstation is a specialized, single user computer that typically has more power and features than a standard desktop computer. These machines are more popular in the lab of scientists, engineers or even animators who require a system with greater than average speed and power to perform sophisticated calculations, rendering, or high level tasks.
Workstations often have larger and higher resolution monitors, and accelerated graphics. In relation to this, I would give you an example : - such as the Quadro series of graphic cards. They are commonly used in workstations.
This higher specifications allow for advanced architectural engineering design, modeling ,animation and even video editing.
Notebook computers
Notebook computers as the name implies is approximately the size of an 8.5-11 inch notebook and can easily fit inside a briefcase. Since most people including yourself would set this device on your lap and use it conveniently in eateries, cafes, at the work place, in education institutions and so on, hence the name laptop.
Notebook computers can operate on alternating current or special batteries. These special device also weighs less than 8 pounds and some even lesser than three pounds.
Using a laptop is as simple as opening a book. Think of it as opening your notebook. Similarly, when a laptop is opened, the upper lid will present a screen or lcd monitor. At the bottom is the keyboard and beneath the keyboard is the specialty hardware such as the motherboard, cpu, hard-disk and so on.
The portability of laptops is one of the most major reasons for the increased use of laptops nowadays. They are the mobile computers that can be carried anywhere and used conveniently.
Tablet PC
Different type of computers
Tablet PC’s are some of the more newer developments in portable, full featured computers. Tablet PC’s just like a notebook offers the full range of functionalities except that they are lighter and accepts input from pen/pointers known as a stylus.
Most interactions are done directly via the screen of the computer and some tablet PC’s also allow for input via the user’s voice. As you know, even phones these days accept voice commands to get things done.
Tablet PC’s can run specialized versions of standard programs and can be connected to a network or to the internet. Certain and in most new models now – a keyboard and a mouse can be attached as well.
Tablet PC’s are used mainly in the graphic design field where drawing on the tablet PC’s can be translated into digital drawings and be edited by various graphic editing tools.
Handheld PC’s
Different type of computers
Handheld personal computers are computing devices small enough to fit in your hand. A popular type of handheld computer is the personal digital assistant (PDA).
A PDA is no larger than a small appointment book and is normally used for special applications such as taking notes, displaying telephone numbers and addresses and keeping track of dates or agendas.
Many PDA’s can be connected to computers to exchange data. Most PDAs come with a pen (stylus) that allows for handwriting recognition and some even have tiny built-in keyboards or microphones for voice input.
A wireless connection (Wi-Fi) can be used to access the internet with a PDA. PDAs in the later part of this century were converted into phones, cameras, music players and GPS.
The demands for PDA phones have been in the increase and of late have been mostly replaced by smart-phones that are equipped with much functionality similar to a computer.
Smart phones
Different type of computers
Smart phones are handheld devices or mobile phones that have a processing unit attached to act as a handheld computer cum phone.
These phones offer advanced features not typically found in normal cellular phones. These phones come with additional features beyond the traditional SMS and calling features. Smart phones these days allow you to surf the internet using your phone, take pictures, videos, listen to music, conduct presentations, record voice, play games, e-mail, and many other additional features.
Smart phones are also equipped with an operating system just like your desktop or laptop computers are equipped with an operating system, Windows, Linux, etc;
Supercomputers
Different type of computers
Supercomputers are the most fastest, and expensive modern computer systems. They are mostly used for intense processing and forecasting such as forecasting the weather, or super high resolution graphics such as ray traced images.
Government processes such as immigration clearances, and all other high level functionalities are handled by a supercomputer.
Supercomputers are also extensively used in the military to manage and calculate or even analyze full range of information from coordinates to traffic control and even launching systems.
Today, the world’s fastest supercomputer was developed by IBM – the IBM Roadrunner which runs on 1.026 – 1.105 Pflops or petaflops and is placed in the Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico USA taking up a space of 6000 square feet.
Mainframe computers
Different type of computers
Mainframe computers are used in large organizations such as insurance companies and banks, where many people frequently need to use the same data. In a traditional mainframe environment, each user accesses the mainframe’s resources through a terminal (network terminal).
There are two kinds of terminal, one is a dumb terminal which does not process or store data, just basic I/O – input output and the intelligent terminal which can perform processing operations but these terminals normally do not have any storage.
Mainframes are large and powerful systems to handle the processing of thousands of users at any one time. Most large organizations implement mainframes due to their flexibilities in which department computers can be allocated a certain functionality that is related to the department in response to all programs.
For instance, an airline company which wishes to sell tickets online through the internet will require to connect their current website interface to a mainframe system.
You as the user would then connect to the website or the mainframe system to key in your ticket purchase.
Minicomputers
Different type of computers
Minicomputers are small sized computers which have their capabilities between the range of a personal desktop computer and a mainframe.
Minicomputers were replaced by the microcomputers which took over the reign of those mighty minicomputers due to their greater processing power.
Today, mini and micro computers are replaced by much more powerful systems as you can see from above.
Well, that’s some bit on the various types of computers. The next time perhaps I will write an article on the history of computers from Generation 0 – Generation 5 (currently).

3 filipino entrepeneur
- Henry Sy. As a child, Henry Sy used to work twelve hours a day to help his father run their small family-owned convenience store. During the Second World War, their store was looted and burned so the young Sy switched to buying whatever he could to sell for a profit. Hard times and a humble background in retail shaped and molded the young Sy. Today, he is touted by the business community as the richest man in the Philippines. With over fifty malls and stores of various sizes, the most recognized of all famous Filipino businessmen has foothold in virtually all the major cities in the Philippines. They recently even expanded to Guam and China. To date, three of the ten largest malls in the world are owned and operated by his company.
- Lucio Tan. Lucio Tan worked as a janitor in a cigarette factory. After a few promotions, he eventually resigned and started his own tobacco company. His tobacco company grew to capture a 60% share of the Philippine market. With its strong revenues, Tan was able to diversify. This famous Filipino businessman now owns several prominent Philippine companies, many of which are blue-chippers. Among the top businessmen, Tan is arguably the most enigmatic. Among his contemporaries, he is probably accessible and prefers to stay out of the limelight.
- John Gokongwei. Another self-made man is John Gokongwei who lost his father at the age of thirteen. He had to work hard to help support his family by selling simple products like candles, soap and thread in a small local market and was able to expand to sell more lucrative products. He did this for many years until he ventured into the profitable instant coffee business. Nescafe of Nestle was the only instant coffee readily brand readily available so he focused on developing his own brand of instant coffee – Blend 45. His company did incredibly well and generated enough profits to develop other brands. Almost all of the famous Filipino food and beverage brands Gokongwei created are now market leaders in their respective categories. He eventually made his way in the local retail industry by building and running his own chain of successful shopping malls.

Characteristics/qualities of a successful entrepreneur
Qualities or Personal Entrepreneurial Characteristics (PEC) of successful entrepreneurs refer to the desired traits, which enable an entrepreneur to do what is expected of him/her and succeed in business. It is the combination of these characteristics that is required to enable any one to perform effectively as an entrepreneur. It is possible for people to develop these characteristics and succeed in their careers as entrepreneurs. Successful entrepreneurs have common characteristics, which are divided into three clusters namely achievement, planning and power.
Entrepreneurs can earn profits as a result of taking risks and the higher the risks, the higher the profits. However, entrepreneurs will always prefer to take on those risks that they can manage.
2. Draw a picture showing an entrepreneur. [I.e. the picture could be of anything (a person, a tree, etc.), but should show as many characteristics of an entrepreneur as possible.]
3. Interpret your completed picture to other people explaining the characteristics being potrayed.
6. Think about how you might demonstrate some of the entrepreneurial characteristics in school work, extra-curricular activities, or part-time job.
7. Record your personal entrepreneurial characteristics in your exercise books.
2.
Achievers rate high in the following PECs: opportunity-seeking, commitment to the work contract, persistence, risk-taking, and demand for quality and efficiency.

Qualities or Personal Entrepreneurial Characteristics (PEC) of successful entrepreneurs refer to the desired traits, which enable an entrepreneur to do what is expected of him/her and succeed in business. It is the combination of these characteristics that is required to enable any one to perform effectively as an entrepreneur. It is possible for people to develop these characteristics and succeed in their careers as entrepreneurs. Successful entrepreneurs have common characteristics, which are divided into three clusters namely achievement, planning and power.
1. Achievement Cluster
Opportunity seeking
This refers to the quality that enables the entrepreneur to see and act upon new business opportunities even in situations where other people see nothing but problems/hopelessness only. It also encourages him/her to seize unusual opportunities for obtaining the necessary resources such as financing, equipment, land, workspace, technical assistance, etc, which will enable him/her to implement his/her business ideas.Commitment to the work contract
This is the ability to accept final responsibility for completing a job for the customers. Customers expect entrepreneurs to perform and honour their commitments. It follows therefore that the entrepreneur should do everything possible to ensure that he/she fulfils the commitment with his/her customers. It means joining the workers to work with them to ensure that contractual commitments are fulfilled, the entrepreneur will do it.Persistence
This is the quality, which enables the entrepreneurs to develop determination to have a thorough job done at any cost in terms of personal sacrifice. By doing this, the entrepreneur remains working towards the achievement of his/her set goals.Risk taking
Entrepreneurs are people who prefer taking moderate risks. Before they commit themselves and their resources, they assess the risks that are associated with a business opportunity that they have selected, and their ability to manage them, the benefits that they will realise and the challenges that they will face from the venture to be undertaken.Entrepreneurs can earn profits as a result of taking risks and the higher the risks, the higher the profits. However, entrepreneurs will always prefer to take on those risks that they can manage.
Demand for efficiency and quality
This is the quality that enables an entrepreneur to do things that meet or surpass existing standards of excellence or improve on performance by striving to do things faster, better and cheaply. By doing this, the entrepreneur remains ahead of others, makes more profits and retains a growing market share.2. Planning Cluster
The planning cluster is made up of the following characteristics:Goal setting
This refers to the ability of an entrepreneur to set clear and specific goals and objectives. These goals and objectives are normally high and challenging but at the same time, realistic and can be attained, given the resources that one has got at his/her disposal.Information seeking
This is having the urge to look for the required information in order to make an informed decision, for example, selecting, starting and successfully managing the desired business. This calls for the concerned person to personally seek and obtain information regarding customers, suppliers, competitors as well as any other relevant information that is required to enable the entrepreneur make decisions and improve knowledge on his/her business.Systematic planning and monitoring
This is the ability to develop plans that will be used in monitoring and evaluating the progress of the business. This helps the entrepreneur to carefully monitor his/her business’ actual performance against desired performance and turn to other alternatives whenever the need arises; so as to achieve his/her set goals.3. Power Cluster
Persuasion and networking
This is the ability to link, convince and influence other individuals, agencies and other groups in order to maintain business contacts at a high level. This will help or work for the cause of the business in a positive manner to accomplish own objectives.Self-confidence
This refers to having a strong belief or confidence in oneself and the ability to complete a difficult task or meet a challenge.Student Activity 4
1. Name the various characteristics of an entrepreneur and list these characteristics on a board or flip chart.2. Draw a picture showing an entrepreneur. [I.e. the picture could be of anything (a person, a tree, etc.), but should show as many characteristics of an entrepreneur as possible.]
3. Interpret your completed picture to other people explaining the characteristics being potrayed.
6. Think about how you might demonstrate some of the entrepreneurial characteristics in school work, extra-curricular activities, or part-time job.
7. Record your personal entrepreneurial characteristics in your exercise books.
Reflection
Try to discover that you may have many of the characteristics of the entrepreneur they you potrayed in your picture(s).Checklist: Characteristics of an entrepreneur
| Self-confident | Independent |
| Determined | Able to make decisions |
| Versatile | Able to take calculated risks |
| Achievement-oriented | Resourceful |
| Energetic | Able to lead |
| Efficient | Goal-oriented |
| Impatient | Optimistic |
| Competitive | Responsible |
| Eager to learn | Responsive to change |
| Flexible | Perceptive |
| Initiative-taker | Responsive to criticism |
2.
Successful entrepreneurs are people who accomplish things. They have what psychologists call the "need to achieve." They want to perform tasks excellently not only for the prestige or money but for the sake of excellence itself. When entrepreneurial individuals work on something, they like to know afterwards that it was a job well done and this alone is enough to make them happy.
Entrepreneurs shun routine tasks-those that involve doing the same thing over and over again. They like to innovate or approach situations in new and better ways all the time. Achievers rate high in the following PECs: opportunity-seeking, commitment to the work contract, persistence, risk-taking, and demand for quality and efficiency.

assingment no.3 PEC's
Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs)
For reference, I'm posting here the ten Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs) which seems to be used in the Business Technology/Entrepreneurship programs of the Technology and Livelihood Education (T.L.E.) subject.

assignment no. 2 PARACHUTE
Credit for the invention of the first practical parachute frequently goes to Sebastien Lenormand who demonstrated the parachute principle in 1783. However, parachutes had been imagined and sketched by Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) centuries earlier.

Other early inventors designed parachutes, including Croatian Faust Vrancic who constructed a device based on Da Vinci's drawing. Faust Vrancic jumped from a Venice tower in 1617 wearing a rigid-framed parachute. Faust Vrancic published Machinae Novae, in which he describes in text and picture fifty-six advanced technical constructions, including Vrancic's parachute called the Homo Volans.Jean Pierre Blanchard - Animal Parachute
Jean Pierre Blanchard (1753-1809) a Frenchman was probably the first person to actually use a parachute for an emergency. In 1785, he dropped a dog in a basket, to which a parachute was attached, from a balloon high in the air.First Soft Parachute
In 1793, Blanchard claims to have escaped from an exploded hot air balloon with a parachute. However, this was an unwitnessed event. Blanchard, it should be noted, did develop the first foldable parachute made from silk, up until that point all parachutes were made with rigid frames.Miyerkules, Hunyo 8, 2011
