Mark 1 was the 1st computer invented in 1944 by howard aiken (harvard professor) 1965, computing ability (transistors on a chip) would double every 24 months and cost would remain about the same. Email server, web server server more power than pc. Embedded computer (ex. cars) built in to something larger. Accept input typing, process input makes words, produce output make documents, storage makes files. Control fetches and intercepts instructions, alu executes the instructions. How computers work, imbedded with nanotechnology because there are over million super small transistors on a chip, more transistors = faster processing power. Temporary memory, more programs you have open the more ram you need, it is volatile because it is temporary, once your computer turns off memory is gone. Levels of ram, closer = faster communication, l1-faster l2 is slower - further away.
