Introduction:
Science has discovered many wonders and computer is one of them.It is an ultra
modern electronic device for storing and analysing information fed into it.It
has no capacity to do anything by itself.It works on the basis of commands
given by the operator.
How
invented: Computer was not invented over a night.First of all Pascal invented
the theory of “Digital Calculating System” in 1942.Though his attempts were not
crowned with Mr. Haward Akin, an american scientist invented such a machine in
1937 that can do difficult sums.So the credits for the invention of modern
computer goes to Howard Akin.After seven years electric computer was used in
Harvard University in 1944.After that many other computers have been invented
such as EDSAC in 1945 and ENTANCE in 1946 etc.
Major
components of a computer: A computer consists of five components.They are the
input unit, the output unit ,the control unit, the memory unit , the arithmatic
unit.
Function
of a computer: A computer performs three functions :
1) it receives data,
2) it processes data by various computations,
3) it emits data
1) it receives data,
2) it processes data by various computations,
3) it emits data
Machine
language: Every computer has a machine language of its own and accordingly a
computer functions. Machine language is not fixed.Its varies from machine to
machine. Programmes written in machine language and they are only good for
particular machine.
Uses
of computer: Computer is a great use to us.it renders a great service to man
kind.it is like ALADIN’S magic lamp or magic wand.It has lessened our work

students of developed countries use computer to prepare their study
meterials.They learn many things within shortest possible time.Results of
various examinations are prepared accurately with the help of computer within
the shortest span of time.
In
medical science: Now a days in developed countries computer is used to diagnose
a disease.A newer process of operation has been invented by computer.It is used
to grind stones in normal pathological tests.
In
agriculture: Today computer is used in the field of agriculture in the
developed countries . A farmer of USA simply puts on the switch of computer and

of computer within a very short time.
In
industrial sector: In the developed countries computer is used to run mills,
factories and industries. Trains and planes are run by the computer.
Source
of income: Computer is a source of great income . Many developed and advanced
countries export software and hardware and earn a lot.
Demerits:
There Is no unmixed blessings on earth. Everything has its dark sites. Computer
has its own Demerits too. It causes diseases like respective stress injury and
weakens the eye sight of the operators.
Computer
in Bangladesh: Of late computer has been computer introduced in Bangladesh.
Many Government and none govt. offices are using computer.A course on computer
has been introduced in secondary levels.The day is not far to come when
