Vacuum Tube Switches Conductors Insulators Needs vacuum Vacuum Tube Computer Problems 1.BIG 2.Hot (electricity hog) 3.Flakey 4.Expen$$$$ive  About as powerful as a basic calculator

A Basic Calculator: 1.Is not BIG Small enough to fit in a pocket 2.Is not Hot (not an electricity hog) Even runs from a tiny solar cell 3.It is not Flakey Never breaks down 4.Is not Expen$$$$ive Costs about $1.99

The switches changed from: Vacuum tubes to transistors A semiconductor switch Commonly made of silicon Many transistors can be integrated onto one “chip” of silicon: Integrated Circuit or “Computer Chip” A microprocessor is a complex computer chip The transistors on a modern computer chip are microscopic

Rotating storage surface Very large capacity Hard Drives CD or DVD Drives Floppy Drives No moving parts Medium to large capacity RAM ROM Flash

Floppy Drive Rotating magnetic disc is “floppy” Low storage capacity and slow Portable and reusable diskettes CD/DVD Drive Rotating disc is laser readable Medium storage capacity Relatively slow Portable and cheap discs Hard Drive Rotating magnetic disc is “hard” Highest storage capacity Fastest mechanical drive Sealed, no physical access

Flash High capacity, relatively slow Used for Software & Firmware Retains contents when turned off Flash “drive” name misleading no moving parts RAM Wafer Packaged RAM Chip Flash “Drive” RAM (Random Access Memory) Fastest memory chips Relatively small capacity Used to run Software Loses contents when turned off RAM Circuit Board ROM (Read Only Memory) Fast, low capacity Used for Firmware (Manufacturer only) Retains contents when turned off
