John Vincent Atanasoff

John Atanasoff was the inventor of the first electronic digital computer, with the help of an electric engineer named Clifford E. Berry. This computer was called the ABC which stands for the Atanasoff-Berry Computer. This computer was not a general-purpose computer, but instead it was created to solve systems of simultaneous up to 29 linear equations. This means this computer could take in two linear equations at once with 29 variables and a constant. Then the computer would eliminate the variables and figure out the solution. This computer could not store program instructions which makes it different from modern computers. John Atanasoff was born Oct. 4, 1903 and died June 15, 1995.

Computer Virus

Computer Viruses insert copies of itself into other computer programs, when it is replicated it affects The areas. Other than computer programs it can infect data files, boot sectors of the hard drive. Viruses perform a type of harmful activity on infected hosts like stealing hard disk space, or even access personal information. For more information about Computer viruses click Here.

Computer Animation

Computer Animation, also called CGI Animation, generates animated images by using computer graphics. The technique used is similar to illusion of movement made on televisions and motion pictures. Computer animation is known as the digital successor of stop motion animation used in earlier days. Two kinds of animation are mainly used. 3D and 2D animations. 3D animations are rigged with a virtual skeleton to help with movement of characters or creatures. For 2D animations layers are used and sometimes skeletons as well. Eyes, mouths, and limbs are moved by the animator to fit the frame. The difference in appearance of the character in each frame is calculated by the computer automatically. To complete the animation, the animation is rendered to run in smooth movement.
