MORE ABOUT UNIVERSAL TURNING
MACHINE
Turing then developed a mathematical description of a device processing
compressing all these attributes. This device is called Turing machine; which
is today referred as a special purpose computer.
Turing machines are simple abstract computational devices intended to
help investigate the extent and limitations of what can be computed.
Turing machines are the most powerful computational machines and are
the theoretical basis for modern computers.
They possessed an infinite memory in the form of a tape, and a head which
can read and change the tape, and move in either direction along the tape
or remain stationary.
This universality of Turing machine makes it possible for it to solve or
compute any problem that a computer can also computer.

INTERGRATED
CIRCUIT
An integrated circuit or monolithic
integrated circuit is a set of
electronic circuits on one small flat
piece of semiconductor material,
usually silicon. Large numbers of
miniaturized transistors and other
electronic components are
integrated together on the chip.
GRAPHICAL USER
INTERFACE (GUI)
A graphical user interface (GUI) is
a digital interface in which a user
interacts with graphical components
such as icons, buttons, and menus. In
a GUI, the visuals displayed in the
user interface convey information
relevant to the user, as well as
actions that they can take.
INTEL Intel Corporation (commonly known as
Intel) is an American multinational
corporation and technology company
headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
Incorporated in Delaware.
It is one of the world's largest
semiconductor chip manufacturer by
revenue, and is one of the developers of
the x86 series of instruction sets found in
most personal computers (PCs).
Intel ranked No. 45 in the 2020 Fortune 500
list of the largest United States
corporations by total revenue for nearly a
decade, from 2007 to 2016 fiscal years.
ETHERNET
What is Ethernet?
Ethernet is a communication
technology developed in the 1970s
by Xerox that links computers in a
network via a wired connection. It
connects local area network (LAN)
and wide area network (WAN)
systems (WAN). With LAN and
WAN, several devices, such as
printers and laptops, may be
connected across buildings,
residences, and even small
communities.

APPLE
Apple Computer, Inc. was founded
on April 1, 1976, by college dropouts
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who
brought to the new company a vision
of changing the way people viewed
computers. Jobs and Wozniak wanted
to make computers small enough for
people to have them in their homes or
offices. Simply put, they wanted a
computer that was user-friendly.
The iPhone, a touch screen cellular
phone, introduced in 2007 was one
of the world' most successful
products and the company has
released several new versions since.
