What is a computer?
 The word computer was originally a job title given to
people who had to perform repetitive calculations.
 Now the definition of a computer is seen as:
“an electronic device designed to accept data,
perform prescribed mathematical and logical
operations at high speed, and display the
results of these operations.”
History
Computers have not always been what
we know today. Many of us lived through
the era of the IBM and that wasn’t that
long ago. What you’re about to see is a
great range regarding the advances of
computer technology.
First
Generation
1940-1956
 First computer invented was the ENIAC in 1946, it mostly served its purpose
for the US ARMY.
 UNIVAC came shortly after, in1951, and it was the first commercialized
computer.
 Both computers were massive and could only resolve one function at a
time.
 Inputs were either paper cards or punched tape and the output would
be in the form of printouts.
 They used vacuum tubes for the circuits and magnetic
drums for memory.
Second
Generation
1956-1963
 Transistors were invented in 1947, allowed the
computers to be more compact, faster and more
energy efficient.
 Programming languages such as COBOL and FORTRAN
were also discovered at this time.
 The memory was no longer stored in a magnetic drum
but in magnetic core.
Third
Generation
1964-1971
 The first successful integrated circuit was
demonstrated in 1958.
 Keyboards and monitors started being used for inputs
and outputs instead of punched cards and print outs.
Fourth
Generation
1971-Present
 The Microprocessor was invented in the early 1970s
and it is an integrated circuit that contains ALL
functions of a CPU. The difference in size from what
had been previously invented was tremendous.
 With this new device IBM (1981) and MAC (1984)
invented the first home computers
WHAT IS COMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE??
The Sixth Sense Technology
 Created by Pranav Mistry at Professor and student at MIT
 Technology is a addition to the 5 senses everyone human has.
 Bringing the digital world to physical world and vise versa through gestures.
The Vision
 Pranav wants to bring the
two worlds (digital and
physical) together and make
them able to interact with
each other through gestures.
 He conducted many
experiments where he was
bringing the physical world to
digital world
 Through many trial
prototypes he finally was able
to find a device that fits his
vision.

The Downside of the Future
The Downfall of the Sixth Sense Technology
 Marketing
 New codes
 Security
 Competition
 Hardware
 Mobility
Privacy
BIG BROTHER
IS WATCHING
Control
Lack of Ability to Focus
Only time will tell…
