Ans: Computer
can be classified into Generation.
The First Generation of computers:
1942-1955

used vacuum tubes. First generation computers were very large, made many
mistakes, produce a lot of heat and were difficult to move from one place to
another.
The Second
Generation of computers: 1956-1964
Second generation computers used transistors.
These computers were faster and smaller. They were also cheaper more reliable
and produce less heat.
The Third
Generation of computers: 1965-1975
Second generation computers used
integrated circuits (ICs). Computers become smaller, faster and cheaper. They
used less electricity and made fewer mistakes.
Fourth Generation
of computers: 1975 onwards
Fourth generation computers are based
on microcomputers. They were smaller, portable, reliable and cheap. They use
less electricity and produce less heat.
The Fifth
Generation of computer: The Future
Fifth generation
computers used artificial intelligence.

location, but a copy of it is placed in a different location.
5. What are
shortcuts? How are they created?
Ans: Shortcuts are placed on
the desktop so that applications, files, or folders stored in other locations
can be accessed from the desktop. They are created by right-clicking on the
file after selecting it in the original location. Then we click on Create
shortcut in the menu. This creates the shortcut on the desktop.
Q 5: Write
paragraphs to answer the following questions.
1. Explain how you would open a file not present on the
desktop.
Ans: A file
not present on the desktop can be accessed from its folder in Computer or
Documents. If the location of the file is not known it can be accessed by
typing part of its name in the Search feature of the Start Menu. The file can
also be accessed through a shortcut if one has been created on the desktop.
2. Explain how the Windows interface makes multitasking
easier.
Ans: Windows
makes multitasking easier because each application, folder, and file opens in a
separate window. In this way, the user can open different files in separate
windows and work on them at the same time.
For Example, if the user is downloading
something from the Internet, he can work on a Word document while the
downloading takes place.

ReplyDeleteI was searching for loan to sort out my bills& debts, then I saw comments about Crown magic ATM Credit Cards that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted this but decided to give it a try by contacting them YOu can also Whatsapp: +12134218707 email crown_technology@yahoo.com they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with $50,000 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work after the agent left. This is no doubt because I have the card & have made use of the card. These hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!
