Introduction
Computing is any activity that uses computers
to manage, process, and communicate information for various purposes. It
includes development of both hardware and software. Computing is a critical,
integral component of modern industrial technology.
Who
is the father of computer and what did he invent?
Charles
Babbage
The answer will surprise you: it was Charles
Babbage, in the year 1832. Babbage, who was born in London in 1791, was a
great mathematical genius. He was a natural inventor, and invented all sorts of
new products. When he finished school, he went to study mathematics at
Cambridge University.
Who is mother of computer?
Ada
Lovelace
Ada Lovelace, She was the mother of Computer.
When she was a teenager, her mathematical talents led her to a long working
relationship and friendship with fellow British mathematician Charles
Babbage, also known as "the father of computers", and in particular,
Babbage's work on the Analytical Engine.
Who
was the first person to write computer Program/code?
Ada Lovelace
British countess and mathematician Ada
Lovelace is often considered the first computer programmer, as she was the
first to publish an algorithm intended for implementation on Charles Babbage's
analytical engine, in October 1842, intended for the calculation of Bernoulli
numbers.
Who is the father of computer virus?
Von
Neumann's
Von Neumann's design for a
self-reproducing computer program is considered the world's first computer
virus, and he is considered to be the theoretical "father" of
computer virology.
What is the oldest programming
language?
Fortran
The History and Influence of Programming
Languages. 1957 - Fortran (short for “The IBM Mathematical Formula
Translating System”) General-purpose, high-level. For numeric and scientific
computing (as an alternative to assembly language). Oldest programming
language still used today.
Who invented binary code?
Gottfried Leibniz
The modern binary number system, the basis for
binary code, was invented byGottfried Leibniz in 1689 and appears in his

Clinton presented the U.S. National Medal of Technology to Cerf and
his colleague, Robert E. Kahn, for founding and developing the Internet.
Who made the first antivirus?
Possibly, the first publicly documented removal
of an "in the wild" computer virus (i.e. the "Vienna
virus") was performed by Bernd Fix in 1987. In 1987, Andreas
Lüningand Kai Figge, who founded G Data Software in 1985,
released their first antivirus product for the Atari ST platform.
Who
invented the PC?
Henry Edward Roberts, designer of the Altair
8800 Computer, "deserves credit as the inventor of the personal
computer," Cerruzi asserts. "Although calling Roberts the inventor
makes sense only in the context of all that came before him . . . he does
deserve the credit." C'mon IBM, have a heart.
Who
made the first laptop?
Osborne
It was invented by Osborne Computers.
The first portable computer was a success, with sales reaching 10,000 units a
month. IBM launched the IBM 5155 Portable Personal Computer in 1984. In 1988,
Compaq Computer launched the first laptop PC with VGA graphics, Compaq SLT/286.
Who
is the father of email?
Remembering Raymond Tomlinson, the Father
of Email. The computer engineer who sent the first piece of electronic mail
died on Saturday. He was 74.
What
year was the first Apple Computer released?
1976,
Founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created
Apple Computer on April 1, 1976,and incorporated the company on January
3, 1977, in Cupertino, California.
Conclusion:
Computer is a very essential things in our life. During
the past two decades, the use of computers rapidly increased
in Research and education.
