Q1. Computers are good at:
Speed Storage Never bored
Q2. Grace Hopper of US Navy develops the very first_______ compiler
Low-level Language High-level language Both high and low level language
- 5 Harvard Mark 1 – 1943:
Howard Aiken and Grace Hopper designed the MARK series of computers at Harvard University. The MARK series of computers began with the Mark I in 1944. Imagine a giant roomful of noisy, clicking metal parts, 55 feet long and 8 feet high. The 5-ton device contained almost 760,000 separate pieces. Used by the US Navy for gunnery andballistic calculations, the Mark I was in operation until 1959. The computer, controlled by pre-punched paper tape, could carry out addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and reference to previous results. It had special subroutines for logarithms and trigonometric functions and used 23 decimal place numbers. Data was stored andcounted mechanically using 3000 decimal storage wheels, 1400 rotary dial switches, and 500 miles of wire. Its electromagnetic relays classified the machine as a relay computer. All output was displayed on an electric typewriter. By today's standards, the Mark I was slow, requiring 3-5 seconds for a multiplication operation (p14
Q3. The first Web browser with a GUI was generally available in:
1992
1993
1994 1995 The first Web browser with a graphical user interface was generally available (Mosaic, in 1993), the term seemed to apply to Web content, too. Technically, a Web browser is a client program that uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to make requests of Web servers throughout the Internet on behalf of the browser user.(18

- 2 The “Turing test”
A test proposed to determine if a computer has the ability to think. In 1950, Alan Turing (Turing, 1950) proposed a method for determining if machines can think. This method is known as The Turing Test. (13
Q5. The name of programming language, specifically designed by the US Department of Defense for developing military applications, was:

Ada
Q6. TCP Stands for:
Transmission Control Principles
Transmission Control Protocol
Transformation Control Protocol Translation Control Protocol Communications on the Internet is controlled by a set of two protocols: TCP and IP TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Networking protocol used by all computers and networks on the Internet Originally developed by the US DoD for Unix, but now available for most other OSes TCP breaks down the message to be sent over the Internet into packets IP routes these packets through the Internet to get them to their destination When the packets reach the destination computer, TCP reassembles them into the original message (p196
Q7. Web is a unique invention by humans in terms that it is:
accessible to all humans accessible to only the owners who control it accessible to particular locations only
Q8. The name of first commercially available PC was:
UNIVAC 1
ENIAC EDVAC Altair 8800
2.9 UNIVAC 1 – 1951
UNIVAC-1. The first commercially successful electronic computer, UNIVAC I, was also the first general purpose computer - designed to handle both numeric and textual information. It was designed by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly. The implementation of this machine marked the real beginning of the computer era.(P14
