Abstract
The paper explains that not only can PCs do almost everything that the larger mainframes can do, but also they can do it at a significantly lower cost. The author points out that there are legitimate uses for the higher mainframe power, especially when a company or institution needs to support hundreds or thousands of users at the same time. The paper relates that, even if many PC computers are linked together with the server, they still cannot compare the I/O capability of the mainframe, which makes all the difference in certain applications.
From the Paper
"In addition to the advantages of a mainframe regarding reliability and speed is something known as ?parallel sysplex.? Parallel sysplex is a way of writing serial code that can work across more than one mainframe. Again, this may not be useful for all purposes, but in those industries that demand more functionality in their computer power, the mainframe continues to tower over the PC."

From the Paper
"The era of the Dot.com has come to an end. Customers are no longer enamored of new and snazzy technical gadgets. So too is their reluctance with snapping up the newer versions of software that are flooding the markets. There are reports that there has been a full stop to the purchasing of products and services all around without the comprehension of the exact benefits that they would derive and the impact of these products and services on the bottom line and whether this would be in keeping with the overall business objectives. This has caused a reversal of fortunes for the computer companies and there has been a realization that a lot of effort is needed to find fresh revenue generating markets and invigorate the old markets. It is in Health care that these companies have found the fresh market that they were looking for to generate revenues that were not coming in. Health care was one segment of industry that was slow in going in for information technology and still has to go along way in embracing this new technology and thereby automating its most fundamental processes. (What's New in Mobile Computing for Healthcare?)"

"The Operation of a Microprocessor Within a PCS
Introduction
The microprocessor has become the work horse of the modern electronics communication industry. A microprocessor generally refers to a CPU on a single silicon chip, but exceptions have been made when the CPU includes particularly interesting design ideas. The important characteristics of a microprocessor are the widths of its internal and external address bus and data bus and instruction, its clock rate, and its instruction set. A single chip microprocessor may include other components such as memory (RAM, ROM, PROM), memory management, caches, floating-point unit, input/output ports, and timers. Such devices are also known as microcontrollers (Glossary, 1995).
As integrated circuit densities have increased with the ..."

Abstract
This in-depth paper details the rich history of computers while focusing on 1940 which saw the first color TV broadcast, opening a new realm of visual development in the evolution of computers as well as Bell Laboratories who developed the first terminal. This paper contains a plethora of details and facts regarding the ongoing advancement in computers and technology. The writer of this paper delves into the differences between the machines of the past and the ones we use today. This paper also discusses one of the greatest promises of the next generation, the ability to develop artificial intelligence, also called AI.
From the Paper
"The early 1900s saw a virtual boom in the development of computers. Many of these inventions were less the intellectual ancestors of the modern computer and more directly similar to our machines today. Of course the modern computer was dependent on many inventions that occurred outside of the literal realm of number processing. In 1926, the first semiconductor transistor patent was made. In 1936, John Dvorak developed the first keyboard - a user-friendly component which placed the most frequently-used keys on the inside and less frequently-used keys on the outside of the natural hand's reach."

"The first Apple Macintosh was by today's standards not that much more powerful than standard calculators. Based on the Motorola 68000 processor with a system bus speed of 8 MHz system bus speed, with 128K Standard RAM, an additional 128K Motherboard RAM, 3.5" diskette drive, and a 9" monochrome screen all packaged in a beige case the first Apple Macintosh looked revolutionary. Selling for $2,500 however the Mac quickly began to gain interest from software programmers interested in the new computer's approach to graphics. The Motorola 68000 processor was specifically chosen for its ability to be programmed at the Assembler level for greater control of graphics."

"An Analysis of Du Pont's Global Information System
The global marketplace requires corporations to manage highly complex networks of business information. These information networks cover every aspect of a company's activities, from technology to planning and personnel. This is so because "the interaction among markets, firms, and technology is a complex socioeconomic and technical process.". The key to managing this technical process is information technology (IT). This fact is especially true for a firm attempting to sustain its competitive position across multinational and transnational boundaries..
If a corporation is to compete and prosper globally, its success will depend, not on its performance within individual national markets, but on its ability to integrate and manage its worldwide.."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper contends that it is complicated to ascertain which computer is most important, mainly due to the fact that the different types of computers differ according to their cost, their speed and even most importantly, their destination. Following the three criteria mentioned, cost, processing speed and purpose of use, there are many different types of computers. These computers may be PCs, Desktop PCs, laptops, palmtops, workstations, servers or supercomputers . The paper addresses each type in part and analyzes their usage according to the three criteria.
From the Paper
"The first and fundamental unit of Information Technology was the PC. Basically, the PC was a smaller size version of the large computers that were used during the 50s, the 60s and the 70s. With the invention of the integrated circuits, computers began to reduce their size and laid the way for the microchip generation, during the 70s and 80s.
Additionally, the PC became the fundamental unit of home use, something that any individual could use at home, within his own premises. Until the PC, most of the systems were quite large and destined for entrepreneur use. With the microchip, anyone could enjoy his own Personal Computer, "built on a smaller scale than the huge systems in use by most businesses" . Obviously, if we are to make an evaluation of the personal computer, with regard to the final conclusion we are to draw, we may assert that this type of computer is most likely to fulfill two out of three of the criteria.
