WELCOME TO VIKRAMADITYA’S WORKSHOP
Hey welcome to my website Vikramaditya’s workshop. Today we will talk about some specific facts about the computers .
1) Did you know that the computers were only made for calculating purposes.
EARLY COMPUTER INVENTORS.
1) ‘CHARLES BABBAGE’ , A BRITISH MATHEMATICIAN , AND IS CONSIDERED AS THE FATHER OF COMPUTERS .
2) HE INVENTED A WORKING MODEL OF THE MECHANICAL COMPUTER CALLED THE DIFFERENCE ENGINE IN 1822 AND THE ANALYTIC ENGINE IN 1833.
3) THE ANALYTIC ENGINEHAD 5 INPUT UNITS-INPUT, OUTPUT,STORE,MILL AND CONTROL .
1) ” AUGUSTA ADA LOVELACE ” , WAS AN ENGLISH MATHEMATICIAN AND WRITER.SHE IS CHEIFLY KNOWN FOR HER WORK ON CHARLES BABBAGE’S ANALYTIC ENGINE SHE IS CONSIDERED AS THE FIRST
PROGRAMMER WHO SUGGESTED BINARY DATA STORAGE ( 0 AND 1 ) INSTEAD OF DECIMAL NUMBER SYSTEM.
1) GEORGE BOOLE
GEORGE BOOLE WAS AN ENGLISH MATHEMATICIAN. HE REALISED THAT COMPLEX
MATHEMATICIAL PROBLEMS COULD BE SOLVED BY REDUCING THEM TO THE SERIES OF QUESTIONS , HAVING EITHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE ANSWERS. HE LINKED THEM WITH THE BINARY NUMBER SYSTEM AND REPRESENTIVE THE POSITIVE RESULTS BY 1 AND THE NEGATIVE RESULTS BY 0.THIS THEORY of BOOLEAN LOGIC BECAME FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPAL FOR THE DESIGN OF COMPUTER CIRCURITRY.
COMPUTER SCIENTISTS.
ABOUT COMPUTERS
A computer is a machine that can be programmed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. Modern computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs. These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks.
20 FACTS ABOUT COMPUTERS

Windows Tips and Computer Tricks
1. Focus Assist to Minimize Interruptions
You can customize its settings by going into Start, Settings, System and then click on Focus assist (or just search for it). This area will allow you to set priorities and create rules – for things such as setting timeframes that you wish not to be disturbed.
2.Pin Contacts to the Taskbar
You probably knew that you can pin many things to the Windows 10 taskbar. Did you know one of these is an easy way to access your favorite contacts?
To do so, click on the People icon on the taskbar and choose the Get Started button. This will bring up options for selecting contacts to pin – using email or Skyp
3. Game Screen Recorder
Meant to be used as a way to record gaming sessions, this hidden recording tool can also be used to record other activities/applications. You can create a how-to video for posting on a blog video, an easy way to send someone instructions and so on.
Access the Game Bar (Windows key + G) and click on the red button to start recording.
4. Optional Start Menu
For those who still hold the older versions of Windows (Windows 7 mostly) with some degree of nostalgia, there is a way to quickly produce a Start menu that (somewhat) resembles those past ones.
To bring it up (instead of the normal Start menu) right-click the Start button.
It will show a menu of items more familiar to seasoned Windows users. This is an easy way to bring up such items as the Run command or Task Manager.
5. Hidden Show Desktop Button
The show desktop button is situated on the far right side of the Windows taskbar. It’s thin, so finding it isn’t exactly intuitive. Once you do click on it, all open windows will be minimized to reveal the desktop.
There’s also a peek feature you can enable by right-clicking on the taskbar and choosing Taskbar settings. Once the option is turned on, you can hover your mouse over that small area/button to give a preview of the desktop.
6. Screen Capture Tools
Still, there is hope for the Windows user. One (built-in) tool is called simply Snipping Tool, has a mode that allows the dragging of a box to capture items (similar to the aforementioned Mac features) and one for entire window screenshots.
Snip & Sketch is another tool for grabbing screenshots. In order to use it, you may need to download it from the Microsoft Store first. Once done, you can use a hotkey (Windows key + Shift + S) to drag a box around what you wish to capture.
7. Save Websites to the Start Menu
The Windows 10 Start Menu can be customized to easily find what you’re looking for.
While you may already be accustomed to moving around tiles and changing their size, there is another item you can add that isn’t an application – a favorite website.
SOME INFORMATION ABOUT COMPUTERS
A computer is a machine that can be programmed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. Modern computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs. These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks. A computer system is a “complete” computer that includes the hardware, operating system (main software), and peripheral equipment needed and used for “full” operation. This term may also refer to a group of computers that are linked and function together, such as a computer network or computer cluster.
