The invention of the computer revolutionized life globally. It affected multiple aspects of life and sparked a frenzy of supplemental inventions. Ultimately, it altered the way businesses operate and even the way we spend our leisure time. It left many wondering, “What will they think of next?” Then came, the laptop next, the evolution of the tablet and IPAD making computing easy and eliminating the need to sit in front of a desktop or lug around storage mediums such as cds.

to see. The news got a hold of this when Thomas Nicely, a math professor at Lynchburg College in Virginia, was computing sums of reciprocals of a large collection of prime numbers. He got incorrect results on the Pentium computer but correct results on an old 486 CPU computer. He inquired to Intel, got no real response, and posted a general notice on the Internet asking for others to confirm his findings. The media snatched up the information and story quickly, and Intel had to respond. Within a

TCS Placement Paper 1. Two pencils costs 8 cents, then 5 pencils cost how much Sol: 2 pencils è 8 cents => 1 pencil è 4 cents Therefore 5 pencils cost = 5 * 4 = 20 cents 2. A work is done by two people in 24 min. one of them can do this work a lonely in 40 min. how much time required to do the same work for the second person. Sol: (A+B) can do the work in = 1/24 min. A alone can do the same work in = 1/40 min. B alone can do the same work in = (A+B)’s – A’s = 1/24 – 1/40

A. M. Turing (1950) Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Mind 49: 433-460. COMPUTING MACHINERY AND INTELLIGENCE By A. M. Turing 1. The Imitation Game I propose to consider the question, "Can machines think?" This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms "machine" and "think." The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous, If the meaning of the words "machine" and "think" are to be found by examining

such as if one department does not input information properly. Another problem that can exist in an organization is if network technician does not maintain the system properly the system will fail. 3.

Any discussion of computer architectures, of how computers and computer systems are organized, designed, and implemented, inevitably makes reference to the "von Neumann architecture" as a basis for comparison. And of course this is so, since virtually every electronic computer ever built has been rooted in this architecture. The name applied to it comes from John von Neumann, who as author of two papers in 1945 [Goldstine and von Neumann 1963, von Neumann 1981] and coauthor of a third paper in 1946

curriculum more heavily on the lower levels. In countries that are seeing their commodity IT work being offshored, it will be desirable for the curriculum to prepare students for the middle and upper levels of IT work, where the ability to merge computer science and IT with applications and strategy are important. This is likely to lead to an increased emphasis on application knowledge and a reduced emphasis on programming skills. It should be stressed that in all cases, however, the predominance
