Computer devices and their categorizations

  •  Differences between INPUT and OUTPUT devices
  1. A hardware device used to send data to the computer is an input device. Whereas, an output device is such a device which displays or delivers information or data from the computer to the user.
  2. An input device converts the user entered data and gestures into machine or binary language for the system to interpret. But, the output device interprets the machine language provided by the system to then display user acceptable format of data.
  3. An input device is very complicated as they have to convert the user language and processes to the machine language for the system. On the other hand, an output device is much simpler as they only display the results and don't have to carry out any kind of system processes.
  4. Some main input devices are Keyboard, Mouse, Stylus, Joystick, Microphone, etc. And some output devices are Monitor, Speaker, Projector, Printer,etc.
  • Various types of computers
  1. Supercomputer: It is the most powerful type of computer for performance and data processing purposes. It is mainly used by industries and experimental labs for carrying out research and exploration,
  2. Mainframe Computer: They might not be as powerful as a supercomputer but still they are very powerful and expensive. They are mainly used by industries and government organizations for carrying out their official works and storing their registry data.
  3. Minicomputer: It is a system that is much more inexpensive than a supercomputer and a mainframe computer but is still used by a small industry or company to process data. It is also called a "mid-range computer". 
  4. Microcomputer: Personal computer and laptops and all types of handheld computing devices are known as microcomputers. It is very useful and vastly growing popular. It is mainly designed for entertainment,education and work purposes.

Artificial Intelligence and its capabilities

Man-made consciousness (AI) is the reenactment of human knowledge forms by machines, particularly PC frameworks. These procedures incorporate learning (the procurement of data and tenets for utilizing the data), thinking (utilizing standards to achieve estimated or clear ends) and self-revision. Although no distinct evidence of AI cant be found by the general population, there are wide spread use of AI in a lot of aspects of communication system. Current Uses of AI: Although artificial intelligence evokes thoughts of science fiction, artificial intelligence already has many uses today, for example: Email filtering : Email services use artificial intelligence to filter incoming emails. Users can train their spam filters by marking emails as “spam”. Personalization : Online services use artificial intelligence to personalize your experience. Services, like Amazon or Netflix, “learn” from your previous purchases and the purchases of other users in order to recommend releva...

The different programming language generations

-

A Programming language  is a formal language which determines a lot of guidelines and the principles  of their application. By the right use and blend of the  directions we can make our projects. A ton of programming languages have been created since the start of software engineering and the improvement has not wrapped up by any stretch of the imagination. The generations of programming languages are defines separately below: First Generation Language (1GL):  It is a collection of machine languages written in binary code. It has a distinct advantage over other languages as it allows the programs to run very fast and very efficiently, because the processing is directly done by the CPU. But, in case of rectifying an error, there can be a huge disadvantage. Second Generation Language (2GL):  It is the type of programming language where the code written can be intercepted by the programmer. But before running the program it is converted ...

Hi, I am a newly admitted student in University of Technology Malaysia coming from the culture-rich country of Bangladesh. My name is  Faiyaz Ifaz, studying in the computing faculty. My interests are mainly food related in direct or indirect ways. So that is what i will be posting about mostly. These are some that I have already cooked up. I hope I will continue to try to cook many other dishes and try them out. I hope the pictures I post will make my readers hungry. That is my Goal. 🍔🍕🍤🍱✌
