What is the abacus computer?
Yes, it was an early mechanical computer. It is regarded as the first computer, made over 5000 years ago. An abacus is not like a modern computer. People think of a computer as an electronic, programmable device that can store, retrieve, and process data. There were many computing devices prior to the electronic computer that had processing capabilities. They were mechanical devices and are computers. There are many different kinds of computing devices and an abacus is one of them.
Trace the history of computer?
By the early nineteenth century, the capitalist culture's appetite for mathematics had outgrown its tools. A pair of British visionaries, Charles Babbage and Augusta Ada King, imagined the construction of an Analytical Engine-a mechanical computer that would automatically and reliably form these tasks. In 1939 a German engineer named Konrad Zuse completed the Z1, the first programmable, general-purpose digital computer.
What property of the material used in computer chips makes them useful as switches that turn electricity on and off?
The silicon is a semiconductor and can be doped to control its conductivity and create the junctions needed to make diodes and transistors. These diodes and transistors can act as switches and logic gates in properly designed circuits. Silicon can also be easily oxidized to become a robust waterproof insulator to passivate and protect the circuits and components beneath it. The aluminium and/or copper are just good conductors used to "wire" the silicon components together and provide pads that can be used to attach wires or metal beads so that the chip can be connected to external circuits.

What is elapor?
Elapor is a kind of foam, similar polystyrene and used to make packing elements for electrical items. It is made from small beads that are placed in a mold and then expanded to form the shape of the mold. Elapor is also a popular material with which to manufacture remote control aircraft, due to its durability. If crushed, elapor can be made to re expand to near its original shape by immersing it in, or pouring over it, boiling water.

What is the name of the manual calculating device which consists of beads?
Abacus
What is abacus computer generation?
Possibly minus 1, along with mechanical desk calculators. Generation 0 would then be programmable electromechanical computers like the Harvard Mark 1 and Zuse Z-3. Then the normal generation numbering starts with electronics.
1 what do you call that calculating device which makes use of beads for calculations?
It's called an abacus.
An abacus which is a type of simple counting device contains beads strung on wires.?
That is true.
Can you name the counting device that consists of a frame with rods on which 10 beads can slide to and fro?
The Chinese abacus.
Why usb cables have plastic bulge?
These bulges, or clips, are ferrite beads, which are designed to reduce the electromagnetic interference to the device to which it is attached
What is the full form of abacus calculating device?
The full form of ABACUS is Abudant Beads, Addition and calculation Utility System
How do you tell small beads from large beads?
You can tell small beads from large beads because small beads are smaller than larger beads.Large beads are larger than small beads because they are large beads. You can tell the small beads that they are small beads and the large beads will then know that the small beads are small beads.
WHAT ARE the ancient computing devices?
ancient as in the Chinese calculator that uses beads, or as in the first electronic computer, Eniac?
What is a abacus made of?
"Today, abacuses are often constructed as a bamboo frame with beads sliding on wires, but originally they were beans or stones moved in grooves in sand or on tablets of wood, stone, or metal." ~ Wikipedia
What is an original mechanical counting device?
The abacus is the original mechanical counting device. It was likely first used over five thousand years ago, and used beads to keep track of numbers.
