Study of Computers - An Introduction

Computers today have pervaded all the aspects of our life. It has made our life simpler and opened the gates to a speedy tomorrow.

We have moved from the age when a single computer occupied a large room to ones that rest on our palm - their capacities have broken the boundary. These have enabled us users make computations that are more complex that just basic arithmetic operations. Today, computers are used for computation of really complex problems with huge data - like those of the weather forecast etc.

Computer which were primarily hardware focused, have today moved to being primarily driven by the applications and the utility they solve. The hardware today is not the limiting constraint of what we could possibly do using the platform, it’s the individual's imagination.

Through this series of blogs we intend understanding the way these beautiful machines work both individually and in tandem to create the magic they have. This series of blog would be more technical in nature with occasional slicing of the business, when we keep discussing on how these solve the problem of the real world.

We agree there are numerous blogs on the aspects that we would speak about here, but we feel our initiative would be incomplete without the computers aspect integrated into our Knowledge Center. It is our attempt to spread knowledge so we would keep it special and unique.

We don’t intent to keep any stipulated time frame for uploading the blogs unlike the other blogs; these be posted as and when we work on any blog.
