Concepts
As computing has become more mainstream and vital to our everyday lives many concepts have emerged that help us better understand how computers work and what they are capable of.
Computer science has developed many of these concepts like big data, machine learning, and applied algorithms. Others, like the blockchain, have sprung from the boom in cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. Some concepts can be attributed to academia as well as science fiction, like artificial intelligence.
History computer has written on the most important concepts in computing and computer science below:
Analog computers 2
/At one time, when digital computers have not existed yet or they lacked sufficient performance, the analog computers were widely used (even the ancient Antikythera mechanism and the slide rule can be considered as analog computing devices). The advent and rapid progress of digital computers made analog computers largely obsolete in 1950s and 1960s, though […]

Analog Computer Explained: Everything You Need To Know
/What are Analog Computers: Complete Explanation A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation. Analog computers are suitable for measuring data that Analog computers cannot translate into numbers or codes. However, due to the […]
