Five Generations of Computer


Each generation of computer is characterized by a major technological development that fundamentally changed the way computers operate, resulting in increasingly smaller, cheaper, more powerful and more efficient and reliable devices.

Data Processing Methods


1. Batch Processing.

Data Processing Operations


A Data processing procedure normally consists of a number of basic processing operations performed in some order (not necessarily the order of their description below).

Areas of Data Processing


Data processing is the manipulation of data into a more useful form.

Data Processing Cycles

Once data is collected, it is processed to convert it into useful information. The data is processed again and again until the accurate result is achieved. This is called data processing cycle.

Data Processing and it's Cycles
