How has computers advanced the fields of multimedia?

It has grown to be a wonderful thing that has happened. before the was no computer and now there is thousand of them. The first computer would not even fit in a classroom.Now you can take it anywhere. They are faster, smaller,and more advance. They also have touch computers which are controlled by the touch of your computer. Even though there are thousands of computers. They cost more than ever.


Why is mainframe used in programs?

A mainframe is just a physically very large computer, it is programmed no differently than minicomputers and microcomputers. All computers were mainframe computers before the early 1960s (because of the size of vacuum tubes and the first discrete transistors), when discrete transistors and then integrated circuits made possible the smaller minicomputers. In 1971 Intel introduced the microprocessor integrated circuit making the even smaller microcomputers possible.


What is a logical disciplined approach to programming?

Use Software Engineering techniques, specifically UML, to design the structure of the program before-hand. Then you know how different classes within the program (assuming you are using an Object-Oriented approach) need to communicate with each other, and you've broken the whole program down into the smaller more manageable chunks that need to be written.


Are nanobots real?

Yes, Nanobots are real. They are in the very first stages of development however. They are still not yet able to fulfill Drexler's, the man who first theorized of what this technology could be used for, dream of nanobots making even smaller bots.However, this advancement is important in many areas of society. Most notable is the theorized ability to target cancer cells and in theory destroy them with theseincrediblebots.

What invention led to computers becoming smaller and lighter?

Ever since the first computer, advances in technology made it possible to maker smaller and smaller computers. The 50's reduced the size of computers drasticly with the invention of the transistor, which replaced the old glass vaccum valves. Jack Kirby, development engineer for Texas instruments is credited with the first microchip, the critical technology for microcomputers, The first one was made in 1958.


How did Marcian Hoff's infention change computers?

Marcian Hoff was one of the computer scientists who developed the microprocessor in the early 1970s. Having a 'universal processor' was an important development in computer science.


How did computers change between 1946 and the 1980?

computers became smaller in size.


Why have computers got smaller?

Newer electronics devices introduced in each computer generation (and thereby defining the generation) are more compact and consume less power than the older electronic devices, enabling the size of both the computer's electronic hardware and cooling system to be reduced significantly.


How computers have changed in the last 100 years?

The biggest changes, I would say, is that computers got smaller and smaller and more and more powerful. (Of course, real computers aren't 100 years old yet.)


Where is micro computers used?

There are mainframe computers, mini computers and micro computers. Mainframes are large scale computers, (search IBM System/360) mini computer are smaller, a lot smaller than mainframes (search IBM AS/300) and minis are what's on your desktop like a DELL, HP, Sony, etc.


Computers with a larger word size can process less data in the same amount of time than computers with a smaller word size?

Processors with a smaller word size can process more data during each processor cycle.

Why have intergated circuits been important to the development of computers?

allows more powerful computing devices in much smaller space at much lower cost. just think, the cheapest laptop today has thousands of times the computing power in an insignificant space at far less than one thousandth the cost of the most expensive supercomputers of the 1960s and 1970s!!!!
