What is the contribution of Tommy Flowers in computer?

Tommy Flowers single-handedly designed and funded the building of "Colossus", the machine that broke the Lorens SZ42 cipher used by the Germans. It was the first electronic programmable computer and was 5 times faster than its predecessor, "Heath Robinson", which itself broke the Enigma code. He had to finance the build himself as no-one at the MoD believed it would work. However, a Mark 2 Colossus was designed before the first was even completed, and this provided vital information that ended the War in Europe far sooner than it would have. He received an MBE and £1000, which didn't even cover his personal investment in Colossus.

Unfortunately, as his work at Bletchley Park was covered by the Official Secrets Act, he found it impossible to gain financial backing for any new projects based upon that work. However, through his work at the Post Office Research Station, he was involved in pioneering work that led to Highgate Wood Telephone Exchange and also the development of ERNIE (the Premium Bond electronic random number indicating equipment). He continued working on electronic telephone switching until his retirement in 1969. His work at Bletchley Park was finally recognised in 1970.

How do the lines on a bar code and a scanner of bar codes work?

Most bar codes you will see on consumer products have the numbers below.

A Bar code is a way of making information readable to a machine.

It does this, similar to morse code, by encoding normal letters and numbers as patterns of thick and thin black lines.

The purpose of the bar code is to tightly control the comparison between the thick and thin lines, and the space in between, so that the pattern has a high chance of being read correctly.

Every letter in the alphabet has a corresponding bar code character, when the bar code reader scans the bar code its electronics translate the bar code into the letters, and send these letters in machine code to the computer.

Some bar code readers use what is called a "wedge" - they are plugged in between the keyboard and the computer, and send signals into the keyboard port of the computer exactly as if the operator had typed in the numbers on the bar code.

Why your computer turn it off every time?

1.) Even with a surge protector, there will be micro-surges of voltage that will scramble the data on your hard drive.

2.) Memory fragmentation. This is not the same thing as disk fragmentation. Your computer allocates memory to programs that are no longer in use. If your computer is on for days or weeks, it is holding ram in reserve for something you used last week, and now you don't have enough to run your programs. Turning it off clears the slate for the next time.

3.) Mechanical parts like the spinning hard drive wear out prematurely.

4.) Waste of electricity -- dummy!
