FATHER OF COMPUTER
Charles Babbage, British Mathematics professor regarded as the Father of Computers. He was born in England in 1792 as the son of a rich banker. He began to design a "difference engine" in 1821 It was very complicated machine for doing calculations automatically. He began design of another machine "the analytical machine", which could carry out many different types of calculations His machine was too ahead of the time of development. Lack of better technology Babbage could not complete their work and passed away in 1871 before he had completed his work. 3

Random Access Memory
RAM can be compared to a person's short-term memory . The data in RAM stays there only as long as your computer is running. When you turn the computer off, RAM loses its data. When you turn your computer on again, your operating system and other files are once again loaded into RAM It's much smaller than your hard disk. That is also called volatile memory.
Read Only Memory
One major type of memory that is used in PCs is called read-only memory, ROM is a type of memory that normally can only be read, as opposed to RAM which can be both read and written. There are two main reasons that read-only memory is used for certain functions within the PC That is also called non- volatile memory.

WHAT IS A VIRUS?
A computer virus attaches itself to a program or file enabling it to spread from one computer to another, leaving infections as it travels. Like a human virus, a computer virus can range in severity: some may cause only mildly annoying effects while others can damage your hardware, software or files. Almost all viruses are attached to an executable file, which means the virus may exist on your computer but it actually cannot infect your computer unless you run or open the malicious program. It is important to note that a virus cannot be spread without a human action, (such as running an infected program) to keep it going. Because a virus is spread by human action people will unknowingly continue the spread of a computer virus by sharing infecting files or sending emails with viruses asattachments in the email.
