From its appearance to the present, computers have experienced four generations of machine languages, programming languages, simple operating systems and modern operating systems such as Linux, Macos, BSD and Windows, and their running speed has also been greatly improved. The operation speed of the fourth generation computer has reached billions of times per second.
In the future, computer performance should be miniaturized, networked, intelligent and giant.
1, giant
Giant refers to a supercomputer with high development speed, large storage capacity and powerful functions in order to meet the needs of cutting-edge science and technology.
2. Miniaturization
With the emergence of microprocessor (CPU), microprocessors are used in computers, reducing the size and cost of computers.
3. Establish a working network
The Internet has connected computers all over the world, and since then it has entered the Internet era.
4. Artificial intelligence
Computer artificial intelligence is the inevitable trend of future development. Modern computer has powerful functions and running speed, but compared with human brain, its intelligence and logical ability still need to be improved.
Extended data:
Application fields of computers:
1, information management
Information management is a computer technology based on database management system, which helps managers improve their decision-making level and business strategy.
2. Process control
Process control is to collect and analyze data in real time by computer, and quickly adjust or control the controlled object according to the optimal value.
3, auxiliary technology
Computer-aided technology includes CAD, CAM and CAI.
4. Multimedia applications
With the development of electronic technology, especially communication and computer technology, text, audio, video, animation, graphics and images are integrated together, forming a brand-new concept-"multimedia".
5. Computer network
Computer network is a system composed of some independent computers with information exchange ability, so as to realize resource sharing.
