In the 1960s, batch processing sometimes caused a programmer to wait days for results, including error messages.

An important part of any operating system is its file system, which allows human users to organize their data and programs in permanent storage.

Moore’s Law states that the processing speed and storage capacity of hardware will increase and its cost will decrease by approximately a factor of 3 every 18 months.

Ancient mathematicians developed the first algorithms.

In 1984, Apple Computer brought forth the Macintosh, the first successful mass-produced personal computer with a graphical user interface.

The development of the transistor in the early 1960s allowed computer engineers to build ever smaller, faster, and less expensive computer hardware components.

In Python, the programmer can force the output of a value by using the cout statement.

The algorithms that describe information processing can also be represented as information.

Magnetic storage media, such as tapes and hard disks, allow bit patterns to be stored as patterns on a magnetic field.

Information is stored as patterns of bytes (1s and 0s).
