CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDY
A. COMPUTER IN THE PHILIPPINES1
A.1 COMPUTER
A computer is a device that accepts information in the form of digitalized data and
manipulates it for some result based on a program or sequence of instructions on how the data is
to be processed. Complex computers also include the means for storing data including the
program, which is also a form of data for some necessary duration. A program may be invariable
and built into the computer (and called logic circuitry as it is on microprocessors) or different
programs may be provided to the computer (loaded into its storage and then started by an
administrator or user). Today's computers have both kinds of programming. Most histories of the
modern computer begin with the Analytical Engine envisioned by Charles Babbage following the
mathematical ideas of George Boole, the mathematician who first stated the principles of logic
inherent in today's digital computer. Babbage's assistant and collaborator, Ada Lovelace, is said to
have introduced the ideas of program loops and subroutines and is sometimes considered the first
programmer. Apart from mechanical calculators, the first really useable computers began with the
vacuum tube, accelerated with the invention of the transistor, which then became embedded in
large numbers in integrated circuits, ultimately making possible the relatively low-cost personal
computer.
Modern computers inherently follow the ideas of the stored program laid out by John von
Neumann in 1945. Essentially, the program is read by the computer one instruction at a time, an
operation is performed, and the computer then reads in the next instruction, and so on. Recently,
computers and programs have been devised that allow multiple programs (and computers) to
work on the same problem at the same time in parallel. With the advent of the Internet and higher
bandwidth data transmission, programs and data that are part of the same overall project can be
distributed over a network and embody the Sun Microsystems slogan: "The network is the
computer."

A.2 HISTORY OF THE COMPUTER IN THE PHILIPPINES2

Computers were introduced in the Philippines in the late 60's by Inc., this computer was
big and a whole room was needed to accommodate this computer, more commonly known as
mainframes, their basic function was more on data storage, and not just anyone can operate the
computer, it needed a highly trained technician to use it and translate its data, the language used
by these computers were Binary language a series of 0's and 1's,it was not a user friendly machine
and it was very expensive, in the Philippines only multi-national companies had one, in the mid
70's a highly evolved computer came in to the scne, Apple with its Apple1 had a great impact on
the Philippine market, this new computers were compact and space needed was very small, these
computers were called mini's or personal computers popularly called PC's, this started an era of
computerization in the Philippines, because of its affordability and the introduction of a new
Operating System developed by Mr. Bill Gates, whos company was soon to be known as
{Microsoft),made the use of computers very easy and almost all the companies as well as
individuals made full use of them in their homes and in their business, the Windows 3-11 was
born a new operating system that was very easy to use, during the 80's and 90's control for the
computer market in the Philippines was intense, Apple came out with their Apple 11,Apple
11+,Apple 11 C's and the Apple mac's, In which IBM retaliated with their 256,286,386,486 and
eventually with their Pentium class units P-1,P-2,P-3,which made IBM predominant in the field
of computers in the Philippines, Before the turn of the century computers was a necessity rather
than an luxury in the Philippines more and more schools are incorporating computer as part of
their curriculum, the Filipinos has evolved to a new breed of men women and even children who

are dependent on computers for their researches and school activities, companies in the
Philippines are now relaying on these computers in their day today activities from payroll to
communication via E-mail to their clients, and Filipinos are more and more aware of the
importance of these gadgets in business and the countrys economy, In the early part of the 21rst
century more and more different types of computer are being introduced to the Philippines, there
are now laptops mini desktop's and more, proving the Philippines and its people the Filipinos are
now part of the hi-tech community.

B. COMPUTER ETYMOLOGY AND HISTORY AS A WHOLE4

The first use of the word computer was recorded in 1613 in a book called The yong mans
gleanings by English writer Richard Braithwait I haue read the truest computer of Times, and
the best Arithmetician that euer breathed, and he reduceth thy dayes into a short number. It
referred to a person who carried out calculations, or computations, and the word continued with
the same meaning until the middle of the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century the word
began to take on its more familiar meaning, a machine that carries out computations.

Main article: History of computing hardware
Rudimentary calculating devices first appeared in antiquity and mechanical calculating aids were
invented in the 17th century. The first recorded use of the word "computer" is also from the 17th
century, applied to human computers, people who performed calculations, often as employment.
The first computer devices were conceived of in the 19th century, and only emerged in their
modern form in the 1940s.
B.2 First general-purpose computing device6

A portion of Babbage's Difference engine.

Charles Babbage, an English mechanical engineer and polymath, originated the concept of a programmable
computer. Considered the "father of the computer",[4] he conceptualized and invented the first mechanical
computer in the early 19th century. After working on his revolutionary difference engine, designed to aid in
navigational calculations, in 1833 he realized that a much more general design, anAnalytical Engine, was
possible. The input of programs and data was to be provided to the machine via punched cards, a method
being used at the time to direct mechanical looms such as the Jacquard loom. For output, the machine
would have a printer, a curve plotter and a bell. The machine would also be able to punch numbers onto
cards to be read in later. The Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit,control flow in the form
of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose
computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete. The machine was about a century
ahead of its time. All the parts for his machine had to be made by hand - this was a major problem for a
device with thousands of parts. Eventually, the project was dissolved with the decision of the British
Government to cease funding. Babbage's failure to complete the analytical engine can be chiefly attributed

Proving Ground (United States Army).

QUEZONIAN EDUCATIONAL COLLEGE INC.

to difficulties not only of politics and financing, but also to his desire to develop an increasingly
sophisticated computer and to move ahead faster than anyone else could follow. Nevertheless his son,
Henry Babbage, completed a simplified version of the analytical engine's computing unit (the mill) in 1888.
He gave a successful demonstration of its use in computing tables in 1906.

B.3 EARLY ANALOG COMPUTERS7

Sir William Thomson's third tide-predicting machine design, 187981

During the first half of the 20th century, many scientific computing needs were met by
increasingly sophisticated analog computers, which used a direct mechanical or electrical model
of the problem as a basis for computation. However, these were not programmable and generally
lacked the versatility and accuracy of modern digital computers.
The first modern analog computer was a tide-predicting machine, invented by Sir William
Thomson in 1872. The differential analyser, a mechanical analog computer designed to solve
differential equations by integration using wheel-and-disc mechanisms, was conceptualized in
1876 by James Thomson, the brother of the more famous Lord Kelvin.
The art of mechanical analog computing reached its zenith with the differential analyzer, built by
H. L. Hazen and Vannevar Bush at MITstarting in 1927. This built on the mechanical integrators
of James Thomson and the torque amplifiers invented by H. W. Nieman. A dozen of these devices
were built before their obsolescence became obvious.

The principle of the modern computer was first described by computer scientist Alan
Turing, who set out the idea in his seminal 1936 paper,[9]On Computable Numbers. Turing
reformulated Kurt Gdel's 1931 results on the limits of proof and computation, replacing Gdel's
universal arithmetic-based formal language with the formal and simple hypothetical devices that
became known as Turing machines. He proved that some such machine would be capable of
performing any conceivable mathematical computation if it were representable as an algorithm.
He went on to prove that there was no solution to the Entscheidungsproblem by first showing that
the halting problem for Turing machines is undecidable: in general, it is not possible to decide
algorithmically whether a given Turing machine will ever halt.
He also introduced the notion of a 'Universal Machine' (now known as a Universal Turing
machine), with the idea that such a machine could perform the tasks of any other machine, or in
other words, it is provably capable of computing anything that is computable by executing a
program stored on tape, allowing the machine to be programmable. Von Neumann acknowledged
that the central concept of the modern computer was due to this paper.[10] Turing machines are to
this day a central object of study in theory of computation. Except for the limitations imposed by
their finite memory stores, modern computers are said to be Turing-complete, which is to say,
they have algorithm execution capability equivalent to a universal Turing machine.
