ComputingOriginally, the word computing was synonymous with counting and calculating, and a computer was a person who computes. Since the advent of the electronic computer, it has come to also mean the operation and usage of these machines, the electrical processe Computing technologyComputing is a very broad topic that has become pandemic to modern uses of technology. Computer hardware computer Home computer Mini computer Mainframe computer Routing Software or computer program Firmware Operating systems Application Software Databases Computing paradigmA computing paradigm is a rough categorisation of programming languages based on how their syntax describes the handling of data. The most common computing paradigms are the imperative paradigm, in which numbers are explicitly manipulated, and the functio Computing analogiesConcepts in computing are sometimes poorly understood. The following fanciful (and unavoidably imperfect) analogies may help: Computer a building. Internet the world outside the building. Internet (or network) connection a door into the building. World Wi Computing bladeIn computing marketing-speak, the term blade designates a standardised module which one can plug in to a computer system after the manner of a changeable blade in a kitchen appliance. Physical server blades supplement processing power; virtual software bl Computing machinery and intelligenceComputing machinery and intelligence written by Alan Turing and published in 1950, is a seminal paper on the topic of artificial intelligence in which the concept of what is now known as the Turing test was introduced. His closing remark in the text was:
