Types of Computers?
Notebook Computer MicroComputer Superpower Computer There is still more that's all i can remember from keyboad Mini Computer Digital Computer Analougue computer Mainframe computer
High-capacity computers with hundreds of thousands of processors that can perform more than one trillion calculations per second are called?
supercomputers
What is analog computer andwhat are its functions?
An analog computer does not use discrete steps, but smoothly models whatever is being calculated. Most are specialized devices, but the (good old) slide rule was a general purpose analog computer. It's one great advantage is speed, and high speed digital computers have mainly taken over.
What is the use of the computer in automation?
Computers can perform the same job over and over again. See Related Link for more information.
When two or more computers can communicate together you have?
You have a network of computers!
What are some examples of analog computers?
abacus old-fashioned cash register (with gears and handle) gear-driven clocks/watches ---- Actually the above are examples of mechanical computers, not analog computers. Analog computers use continually variable quantities. An abacus uses discrete units of measurement and is digital, though not binary. A slide rule is an example of a simple mechanical analog computer. Another example is the Norden Bomb Sight. An ancient example is the astrolabe. More complex analog computers are programmable and can use fluid, mechanical, or electronically set values. There is a link below to an article on analog computers.
What is the main component responsible for converting digital to analog?
A converter box will perform this function. more accurately a digital to analog chip an example is a AD558
How is analog computers are more powerful then digital computers?
Digital computer uses discretely coded numbers or symbols (typically in binary, although other codings like decimal and trinary have been used in certain machines). Changes in value are sudden jumps by at least the smallest representable value. Digital computers can incorporate error detecting and/or correcting circuits.Analog computer uses continuously varying signals. Changes in value are smooth and continuous. Analog computers drift with temperature, voltage, component aging, etc. and are very sensitive to noise; any of which can cause undetectable errors.
Why integrators are more preferred than differentiator in analog computers?
integrators are more linear than the differentiators and the integrators reduce the power consumption than the high pass filter
What is the difference between super computers and desktops?
Super computers are much more powerful. They have faster processors, more memory and are designed for complex tasks that the average desktop computer can not perform.
Why are digital computers popular?
Well it is kind of simple really but digital has better graphics and says to run faster.The reason is simple: ease of programmingDigital computers can be programmed by writing code, which can be reloaded at any time.Analog computers usually have to be "taken apart and rewired" to be programmed.In fact, when built with the same technology, Analog computers are always faster than Digital computers at solving the same problem. However Analog computers have not been built since the 1980s (and then only for special purposes) so Analog computing technology now lags Digital computing technology by several decades.
Why digital computer is more accurate than analog computer?
an analog computer cannot be more accurate than its component tolerances. this usually limits them to no more than 2 to 4 digits accuracy (although a few have been built with 6 digits accuracy by using special components with very tight tolerances. but such parts are quite expensive).a digital computer can have any accuracy desired simply by increasing the number of bits used to represent numbers.also analog computers are subject to factors like drift, component aging, noise, etc. that have no effect on digital computers.
What is computer and what are the benefits and drawbacks of using it?
There are benefits of computers and drawbacks. e.g. They cannot understand customer feelings and emotion, they can perform easily automated tasks, they cannot adapt to the unexpected, they can perform reptitive tasks accrurately ( unless your computers are stuffed, or more advanced. either way). So computers are great for organistion but are terrible as companions. If you use them appropiately they can help.

How is a modem facilitats communication different between computer?
a modem is a tool which can change analog sinal to digital signal and vice-versa. when the communication has to take place between the two computers then there is involvement of wires or some wireless technology. if communication exists between then it is through analog signals and computer can accept only digital signal. so,basically modem changes the analog signal to digital when the data is to be received at computer's end and hence it works and facilitates the commmunication between two or more computers.
Are digital phones as reliable as analog phones?
Digital phones are more reliable than analog phones. The digital signals are easier to produce and the technology is more reliable than that of analog signal.
