History
of Computers and ICT
In this lesson, the reporter talks on the
history of computers and the ICT. The history of computer began with the use of
the Abacus in the 4th century BC, then Blaise Pascal (1632-1662) invented the
“Adding Machine” which is originally called the “Numerical wheel calculator” or
the “Pascaline”. A more advance machine had invented by Charles Babbage which
is the analytical engine. And as generation passes, more advance computers were
invented. The reporters also emphasized the three generations of the computers.
UNIVAC is an example of the first generation computers, another is the ENIAC.
Transistors emerged during the second generation, while the third was the
integrated circuits. Talking on the ICT, they discusses on the different
advantages and disadvantages. As a result of the various improvements to the
development of the computer we have seen the computer being used in all areas
of life. It is a very useful tool that will continue to experience new
development as time passes.
What I have experienced during my high school days was that I’ve learned how to
manipulate the computer, most especially the various Microsoft Word offices. We
all know that we are living in this digital world, we need to adapt with the
changes and of course make use of the resources. During my college year, in our
Educational Technology class, Dr. James L. Paglinawan, our instructor taught us
many things. From customizing our power point presentations to a very unique
way also the toondoo where we learned how to make a comic strip with the use of
the computer, there also we had our online class, the Edmodo.
I’ve reflected that computer is really a big helped to each one of us. With
just one click, we easily found the informations we needed. Our work becomes
easier and productive because of the different machine handiworks made by the
technology. But despite of its advantages, I’ve realized that disadvantages are
also present, since student nowadays are becoming more dependent on the
internet, they never brainstorm on the ideas but instead look for those instant
informations pinned in the internet. This can be controlled if we will just
really discipline ourselves.
As to the application, we all know that students nowadays are more exposed with
the use of the computers than us. The thing there is that as future teachers,
even if they learned more than us, we should still not forget that nothing
could replace the effectivity of the teacher and since not all students are competent
in using the computers, we should continue imparting what we have learned.
