Computer by definition is a programmable electronic device that performs mathematical calculation and logical operation, specially are that can process, store and retrieve large amount of data very quickly.

But do you know that before we have our computer for today there are many evolution happens. Let’s go back in time were the computer revolutions begins.

In 1801, Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a loom that uses punch wooden card. In 1822, Charles Babbage conceive a steam driven calculating machine. In 1890, Herman Hollerith designs a punch card system to calculate census. In 1936, Allan Turing presents the notion of a universal machine ( Turing Machine). In 1937, J.V. Atanasoff  build the first computer without gear, cams, belts, or shafts. In 1943-1944, John Mauchly and J. Presper Fckert build the electronic numerical integrator and calculator (ENIAC). In 1947, William Shockley and John Bardeen and Walter Brattain invent the transistor. In 1958, John Kilby and Robert Noyce unveil the integrated circuit. In 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak start apple computers.

So now, those evolution of computers close up your mind? In terms of evolution our computer has a big contribution in our nation up until now. So now, let’s talk about components of a computer.

Are you curious and confuse? So let’s begin! There are 4 basic components of computer (Input, Processor, Output and Storage). So without these component our computer is nothing. There are also different categories of computer (Personal Computer, Mobile Computer, Game consoles, Servers, Mainframe, Embedded computers. Do you know or agree that computer is smarter than us? In our time computer are uses to solve our needs or research so as of today, computers has a big blast in our life.

Computer in our time is very useful for is students. In this lesson I learned that computer were not use just a search engine but as time passes by computer are solving problems and some operations. We students must be aware on how to give care in computer because computer is a big help in our daily lives.

In today’s lesson
Let’s talk about “HTML” do you have any background about HTML ?

By definition HTML is a computer language that is used to create documents or web sites on the internet.
According to my research HTML or HyperText Markup Language is used to create some sites and pages.

HTML is first used in 1992
HTML have many tags and meaning,some are :

<A> </A> – the Anchor,
<B> </B> – content is shown as bold type,
<CENTER> </CENTER> – content is centered on page,
<HEAD> </HEAD> – The head part of the HTML,and
<P> </P> – paragraph

Reflection :
In this lesson about HTML I’ve learned that in creating sites or documents, HTML is a big help in doing it.
And we can learn the different types of tags so we can design your own webpage.
For me learning this kind of lesson is kinda exciting because you can manipulate what you want in creating some sites or pages.
I also know the acronym of HTML which is HyperText Markup Language.
