Biocomputing

Biocomputing is a field that combines biology and computer science to create computational
systems that use biological materials or processes. It explores how biological systems can be
harnessed to perform computational tasks, often inspired by the way living organisms process
information.
Definition of Computer and History of Computer Evolution
A computer is a programmable electronic device that can store, process, and retrieve data. It
operates under the control of instructions stored in its memory.
History of Computer Evolution:
● Abacus (Ancient Times): Early counting device using beads on rods.
● Pascaline (1642): Mechanical calculator by Blaise Pascal for addition and subtraction.
● Analytical Engine (1837): Designed by Charles Babbage, considered the first
general-purpose computer, but never fully built.
● Tabulating Machine (1890): Developed by Herman Hollerith for the U.S. Census, used
punched cards for data processing.
● ENIAC (1946): Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, first general-purpose
electronic digital computer.
● Transistor (1947): Replaced vacuum tubes, leading to smaller, faster, and more reliable
computers.
● Integrated Circuit (1958): Multiple transistors on a single chip, further miniaturization and
increased performance.
● Microprocessor (1971): Entire CPU on a single chip, enabling the development of
personal computers.
● Personal Computer (1970s): Affordable computers for home and office use.
● Internet (1960s-present): Global network connecting computers worldwide.
● Cloud Computing (2000s-present): On-demand computing resources over the Internet.
● Artificial Intelligence (1950s-present): Development of computer systems that can
perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
