Mid-January, Google Glass stops produced. However, Google promised not to permanently stop the production of the smart glasses.

Google is likely to realize its promise. Reported KompasTekno (06/02/2015) from ArsTechnica, Google has been appointed CEO of Nest, Tony Fadell, to cook up the concept of Google Glass. Allegedly, Fadell wanted to redesign Glass from scratch.

The development of computers from time to time very rapidly. From the first computer was originally a very large, until after the invention of the transistor computer began to be reduced in size while providing convenience to its users. Along with the development of the era and the growing needs of the community. Computers started to turn into a very important item and needs of computer is increasing. This became the initiator of the scientists to make a computer that can erngkat taken everywhere or portable.

Although is free, it was licensed freeware software has a long history. The emergence of the Free Software licenses can not be separated from the hacker culture that flourished in some university's computer science laboratory in the United States (Stanford, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, and MIT) in the 1960s to the 1970s. The staff of the computer / hacker who worked in the laboratory has a voluntary ethics (free) gave results of his work, whether in the form of new software and improvements (updates / patches). this is because the software developed by a hacker is a result of work of other hackers.

Software is a collection of some of the commands executed by the engine computer in the work. This software is a record for the engine computer to save the command, as well as documents and other records.

Is the electronic data stored in such a way by the computer itself, this stored data can be either program or instructions to be executed by the command, or the records required by the computer to run an executable command.

Hardware, is one element of a computer system, a device that can be seen and touched by humans directly, which supports the process of computerization.

Hardware can work on orders that have been determined there is to it, or also referred to by the term instruction sets. With the commands that can be understood by the hardware, the hardware can perform a variety of activities that have been specified by the command.

Defining a fifth-generation computer becomes quite difficult because this stage is still very young. An example is the fifth generation computer imaginative fictional HAL9000 computer from the novel by Arthur C. Clarke titled 2001: Space Odyssey. HAL displays all the desired function from a fifth-generation computer. With artificial intelligence, HAL could have enough reason to do percapakan with humans, using visual feedback, and learn from his own experience.

After IC, the goal of development becomes more obvious that shrink the size of circuits and electrical components. Large Scale Integration (LSI) could fit hundreds of components on a chip. In the 1980's, the Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) contains thousands of components on a single chip.

    Ultra-Large Scale Integration (ULSI) increased that number into the millions. Ability to install so many components in a half-sized pieces of metal coins helped diminish the size and price of the computer. It also increased power, efficiency and reliability of the computer. Intel 4004 chip that was made in 1971 to bring progress to the IC by putting all the components of a computer (central processing unit, memory, and control input / output) in a chipvery small.

Although the transistors in many respects the vacuum tube, but transistors generate considerable heat, which can potentially damage the computer's internal parts. Quartz stone (quartz rock) to eliminate this problem. Jack Kilby, an engineer at Texas Instruments, developed the integrated circuit (IC: integrated circuit) in 1958. IC combined three electronic components in a small silicon disc made of quartz sand. Scientists later managed to fit more components into a single chip called a semiconductor. As a result, computers became ever smaller as the components can be squeezed onto the chip. Other third-generation development is the use of the operating system that allows the machine to run many different programs at once with a central program that monitored and coordinated the computer's memory.

The discovery of the transistor in 1948 greatly influenced the development computer. Transistors replaced vacuum tubes in televisions, radios, and computers. As a result, the size of electronic machinery has reduced drastically. The transistor was used in computers began in 1956. In other findings in the form of magnetic core memory-assisting the development of second generation computers smaller, faster, more reliable, and more energy efficient than their predecessors.

The development of computers has been around since pulahan year ago, due to the Second World War, the countries involved in the war sought to develop computers to exploit their potential strategic importance computer. This increased funding to accelerate the progress of the development of computer and computer engineering. In 1941, Konrad Zuse, a German engineer to build a computer Z3, to design airplanes and missiles.

Computers are now no longer be foreign goods in our lives. Almost every activity in our lives using computers. Do you know what a computer actually is? Computer comes from the Latin computare which mean count. In addition, some experts have also been described What is computer?

1) According to Hamacher, the computer is an electronic calculating machine that quickly and can receive a digital input information, then process them in accordance with programs stored in memory, and generate output information.
