Computer and Information Technology (Physics) Part-I

Charles Babbage was considered to be the father of computing after his invention and concept of the Analytical Engine in 1837. The Analytical Engine contained an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), basic flow control and integrated memory.

It was hailed as the first general purpose computer concept. Unfortunately because of funding issues, this computer was never built while he was alive.

Colossus was the name of a series of electronic digital computer developed for British code breakers in 1943-1945 to help in the cryptanalysis of the Lorenz Cipher. It was designed by the British engineer Tommy Flowers.

Alan Mathison Turing also contributed to its design but the fact was that he was not directly involved in it. But in the available options, Dr. Alan M. Turing is the correct answer.

The first digital computer built with IC chips is known as IBM system/360. It was a mainframe computer which was developed in 1964.

A motherboard is a physical arrangement in a computer that contains the computer's basic circuitry components. The chipset is the main part of the motherboard.

It manages the data flow between processor, memory, and peripherals. The chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance.

A pen drive or a USB flash drive is a portable data storage device. Pen drives have replaced the floppy drives of the past and have become the most popular data-storage devices among consumers. It is smaller and handy.

A mouse is a hardware input device that was invented by Douglas Engelbart in 1963. The mouse allows an individual to control a pointer in a graphical user interface (GUI) and manipulate on-screen objects such as icons, files, and folders.
