ALVIN TOFFLER
 in his book “The Third Wave”, divided civilization in 3
main parts:

which took thousands of years in the lives of
people in the different parts of the world
2. Second Wave - was the industrialperiod which
pave the way to the industrialization in Europe,
America, Middle East, and Asia, the

lot of changes have been happening in the different
areas of life, information, and media have made the
world appear to be smaller and accessible to people

tide predictor.
 Kinds Of Computer:

1. Analog Computer- which operates on data

represented by variable physical quantities.
2. Digital Computer- which works with numbers,
words, and symbols as expressed as digits.
3. Hybrid Computer- which combines analog and
digital functions.
THE FIRST GENERATION
COMPUTER
was called ENIAC ( Electronic Numerical Integrator
