A computer also reads data from devices, such as a hard drive, mouse, keyboard, and websites on the internet.
When people speak of the bus size in a computer what are they specifically referring to?
The bus speed refers to the word size of the bus. It comes in the 1, 2, 4, 8... pattern, almost like RAM. The largest so far is 64MHz.
What were the central processors of the first generation computers made of?
None.
That is, by "computer" I mean a "general purpose electronic computer", not a mechanical machine such as Charles Babbage's (and his predecessors') mechanical computing machines, and not an electronic circuit that "computes" only a very restricted set of "answers".
So, the first general purpose electronic computer (ENIAC) was built in 1946 and with ~18,000 vacuum tubes, since first Silicon transistors were produced in 1954, although "transistors" were patented in 1925 (Canada) and 1934 (Germany); concrete semiconductor (Germanium) models were made and studied in labs in 1947 and later.
First generation computers CPUs were made of dozens of 19 inch racks each containing hundreds of vacuum tubes, capacitors, resistors, etc. A typical CPU had from 1,500 tubes to 30,000 tubes. The peripheral controllers were typically one or two racks each, with similar numbers of tubes, etc. per rack. These were not small machines.
Information Communication Technology for Development in Cambodia?
Cambodia ICT4D National
Education Policy
Overview
Cambodia's information and communication technology (ICT) for education policy document was developed in keeping with its "Education for All" vision of ensuring all citizens equal access to basic quality education, and to prepare them to participate actively in Cambodia's reconstruction and integration into the knowledge-based global community. The policy was developed in consultation with national and international partners and places emphasis on the role of ICT in distance education, the training of professionals, non-formal education, and the quality of education at the upper-secondary and post-secondary levels, in recognition of the importance of ICT skills in a knowledgebase
society. The ICT in education policy focuses on four areas:
· The provision of ICT access for all students and teachers, and using ICT to reduce the digital divide between Cambodian schools and those in neighbouring countries;
· The function and role of ICT as a learning and teaching tool in education, and as an independent subject;
· The promotion of education for all, regardless of personal characteristics or location, through the integration of ICT with other communication mediums; and
· The use of ICT to raise the efficiency, productivity and effectiveness of education management.
Policy Objectives
The goals of Cambodia's ICT in education policy are:
· To increase access of all citizens to both formal and non formal basic education, using ICT as a primary learning and teaching tool;
· To improve the quality of basic education and support lifelong and independent learning; and
· To ensure Cambodia's ability to complete in an interconnected world, by ensuring a workforce skilled in ICT is available for employment in a knowledge-based society.
Strategies
Education Indicators
ICT Use in Universities: ICT should be used to leverage the scarce human resource capacity of universities, and also connect learners to virtual learning resources around the world. A cyber campus consortium will be created to promote ICT use in teaching, learning, research, and administration; digitise Khmer language books and translate others into Khmer; and link to virtual universities elsewhere.
Cooperation and Partnership: Medium-term strategies include the promotion of cooperation between NGOs, national and international organisations, and individuals in order to build on opportunities for ICT development in education; and the building of partnerships with civil society and private organisations for the purpose of sharing ICT resources.

Yes they make touch screen computers. If you go visit your local Best Buy you can see one in person. They seem to be quite expensive.

Is there any difference between 1000 mbps io box and 10 100 mbps io box?
I'm not sure what you mean by io box, but generally 10/100 means the network devices can communicate with other network devices at either 10mbps or 100mbps. If both are capable of 100, then 100 is used. If one is only capable of 10mbps then 10 is used.
1000mbps or Gigabit Ethernet is 10x faster than 100mbps. If is also backward compatible like 100mbps devices, but will only run at full speed is you connect it to other Gigabit devices and use the correct wiring.
