Computer Systems
=A system of interconnected computers that share a central storage system and various peripheral device such as a printers, scanners, or routers. Each computer connected to the system can operate independently, but has the ability to communicate with other external devices and computers.= = = = = = = =There are many types of computers.....= =At one end we have the supercomputers ,that are very large and at the other end we have the tiny computers that are the ones in cars, TV, stereo system, calculator and appliances. Then we have the personal computer, that is used by one person at a time, like desktops, laptop, handheld computers and other.= = = = = = = =A computer is one of the most brilliant inventions of mankind. Thanks to computer technology, we have been able to achieve storage and processing of huge amounts of data. We can rest our brains by employing computer memory capacities for information storage. Owing to computers, we have been able to achieve higher processing speeds, carry out critical transactions and that too with great precision and accuracy. However, with the advancing technology, computers have shrunk to the size of a small watch. Depending on their processing powers, size and area of use, they have been classified into various types. =

Microcomputers Are the most common type of computers used by people today, whether in a workplace, at school or on the desk at home.

Supercomputer This type of computer usually costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Although some supercomputers are single computer systems, most are comprised of multiple high performance computers working in parallel as a single system. The best known supercomputers are built by Cray Supercomputers.
