The first computer ever built was named
ENIAC or Electronic Numerical
Integratorand Calculator.
It was built at the University of
Pennsylvania inPhiladelphia in 1944.
ENIAC had over 18,000 vacuum tubes andcould only perform math calculations.
29
1974…The 8080 microprocessor chip became the brains of the first personal computer
1982...The 286 microprocessor chip was the first to be compatible with all software
microprocessor chip history...
1971...The 4004 was the first microprocessor chip made, and was used in a clock
1978...The 8086 and the 8088 -the brains of IBM's Personal Computer
30
1985...The 386 microprocessor chip had over 100 times as many transistors as the 4004.It was "multitasking”.
1989…486 Microprocessor chip was the first to have a built-in math coprocessor, whichspeeds up computing.
1993…The Pentium microprocessor chip allowed computers to more easily incorporatespeech, sound, handwriting and photographic images.
microprocessor chip history...
31
1997…Pentium II microprocessor chip contains 7.5 million-transistors and was designed to process video, audio and graphics data efficiently.
1995…The Pentium Pro microprocessor chip was faster, enabling the use of programs for computer-aided design, mechanical engineeringand scientific computation.

32
Think about how computers affect our lives…
Go through a day and notice all the
things you see that work because of a
computer or microprocessor chip installed in
them.
Remember... anything that provides a digital display, such as a digital clock, has a microprocessor chip in it!

Made of a round, floppy piece of plastic coated with iron oxide.
MAGNETIC DISK
Iron oxide can be magnetized.
When you save data on a disk, a recording head creates a magnetic pattern on the iron oxide.
The pattern stores the data in a way that helps the computer “read” it, the next time you use the disk.
73
• It's hidden under one of the paper rings.
PLASTIC FLAP
• The small end is glued down, and the plastic is bent, just a little.
• It pushes the paper ring tight against the surface of the magnetic disk.
74
• The metal center of the magnetic floppy disk.
• The holes in the hub are like the hole in the middle of a vinyl record - they fit over spindles inside the computer and hold the disk in place while it spins.
THE HUBTHE HUB
75
• The shutter is a piece of metal at the bottom edge of the disk.
• The shutter protects a rectangular area which exposes part of the delicate magnetic disk.
• This is the part of the disk that goes in first when you insert it in the computer.
• Inside the computer, the shutter slides over, and the information on the disk can be read through the rectangular slot.
THE SHUTTER
76
• When the floppy disk is ejected from the computer, the spring snaps the shutter closed
• This stops dust or fingerprints from getting onto the magnetic disk
THE SPRING
77
• This little plastic rectangle is in the upper right corner of a floppy disk.
• It slides up to reveal a square hole in the housing...
• or slides down, to cover the hole.
• When the hole is open, the disk is locked.
• Your computer won't allow you to add anything to the disk or erase anything from it, while this is locked.
