Best Answer

All computers currently available have similar components and functions.

The obvious component is the System Box. This is most obvious in Desktop Computers. The system box used to be called the CPU - wrongly considering the confusion that caused. What the system box contains are things like a power suplly to power everything, the memory to do the work required and also to store the answers obtained fro the work, and the heart or mircroprocessor to actually do everyhing needed.

The second component is the Screen to show you what information you are giving the computer, any message the computer needs to tell you, and the results the computer has come up with.

The thrid component is the Keyboard to enter information into the computer, give the computer instructions on what to do with the information, and were to send the results to.

How is analog computers are more powerful then digital computers?

Digital computer uses discretely coded numbers or symbols (typically in binary, although other codings like decimal and trinary have been used in certain machines). Changes in value are sudden jumps by at least the smallest representable value. Digital computers can incorporate error detecting and/or correcting circuits.Analog computer uses continuously varying signals. Changes in value are smooth and continuous. Analog computers drift with temperature, voltage, component aging, etc. and are very sensitive to noise; any of which can cause undetectable errors.


How were computers 50 years ago to what they are now?

Computers 50 years ago weren't really "computers" as we know them. Mostly anything that used a CPU appeared more mechanical/electrical than a stand alone desktop or personal computer. (Things that used a CPU were machines that didn't look anything like computers) Now just look at your smart phone, or go check out the ipad (apple.com) Computers now give us a better picture of what is, what should have been and what will be.
