In the decades following the development of the first electronic digital computers, the computer industry in the United States grew from nothing into an important and expansive sector of the American economy. Whereas in the early 1950s electronic computers were generally regarded as interesting but extravagant scientific curiosities, by 1963 these devices and their associated peripherals formed the basis of a billion-dollar industry. By the beginning of the 1970s, more than 165,000 computers had been installed in the United States alone, and the computer and software industries employed several hundred thousand individuals worldwide.

Full textAbstract:
The digital signature generation process begins with the creation of a public key and a private key. A public key is generated and published to verify the signature and calculate the hash value of the received document. At present, in the very fast development of information technology, quantum computers have emerged the ability to solve very large and complex amounts of data calculated by qubits, which when compared to quantum computers can work 10 minutes to work on a process that takes 1025 years on a computer. Therefore, the research focuses on how electronic signatures on documents have a reliable security system. The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) is a key algorithm used for digital signatures, which uses the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) to convert messages into message digest and parameters based on the ElGamal signature algorithm. The author also shows an example of digital signature encryption and decryption process by taking any numbers p = 59419 and q = 3301 to prove that the message can be formed and verified its authenticity.

Full textAbstract:
The process of creating computer-based music is increasingly being conceived in terms of complex chains of mediations involving composer/performer and computer software interactions that prompt us to reconsider notions of materiality within the context of digital cultures. Recent scholarship has offered particularly useful re-evaluations of computer music software in relation to musical instrumentality. In this article, we contend that given the ubiquitous presence of computer units within contemporary musical practices, it is not simply music software that needs to be reframed as musical instruments, but rather the diverse material strata of machines identified as computers that need to be thought of as instruments within music environments. Specifically, we argue that computers, regardless of their technical specifications, are not only ‘black boxes’ or ‘meta-tools’ that serve to control music software, but are also material objects that are increasingly being used in a wide range of musical and sound art practices according to an ‘analog’ rather than ‘digital’ logic. Through a series of examples implicating both soft and hard dimensions of what constitutes computers, we provide a preliminary survey of practices calling for the need to rethink the conceptual divide between analog and digital forms of creativity and aesthetics.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the enormous potential of ICTs and digital literacy in the educational setup, most primary schools in Benin City are yet to fully implement and take advantage of its numerous benefits to the teaching and learning process. This study therefore examined the possibility of incorporating digital literacy at the primary school level, as well as ascertains the extent to which electronic gadgets are available and accessible and the challenges militating against the implementation of digital literacy in private primary schools in Benin City. The research design adopted for this study is descriptive survey. Using the stratified random sampling technique, a total of 448 primary school teachers responded to the Digital Literacy Questionnaire in Primary School (DLPQS) that was developed by the researcher and used for data collection. The data analysis was done using simple tables of frequency counts and percentages. Findings from the study revealed that whilst 90.2 % of the teachers possessed Personal Computers (PC) and other electronic gadgets and were relatively proficient with the use of said devices, computers and digital gadgets were not readily available and accessible as 52.7 % of the teachers taught in schools that did not currently have a computer lab with 60.7 % not having access to the lab. Where available, 69.4 % of the teachers indicated that most of the computers where outdated and not functional and 79.5 % reported that the number of computers were insufficient. Findings also showed that – lack of/insufficient number of computers, poor internet connectivity and epileptic power supply were the major drawbacks in the use of digital literacy in the primary schools.

With the rapid development of the Internet, a large part of people’s work and life has been transferred to the computer. Now, the processes of file transfer and data storage in people’s work are all completed by computers. In the process of working with computers, how to ensure the legality, traceability, antitampering, and uniqueness of documents is an important part of the development of computers. In order to ensure the security in the process of electronic contract authentication, this study has carried out a detailed analysis and design of electronic signature technology. In this study, PKI technology and USB Key technology are combined, which effectively prevents the tampering of electronic signatures and electronic seals in electronic contracts. This study uses PKI technology to strengthen the application and distribution of electronic seals and achieve the purpose of copyright protection of digital media. The improved electronic signature technology in this study can improve the security of signing electronic contracts at work and make users’ electronic signatures indestructible and noncopyable.

A single-celled amoeboid organism is known to maximize nutrient acquisition efficiently by deforming its body (Fig. 1(a)). This ability made it possible for the organism to survive in the harsh natural environment over a billion years. Its sophisticated search capability has been demonstrated by means of the amoeba-based computer in which the amoeboid organism is used to search for a solution of the optimization problem [1]. However, from engineering point of view, the deformation speed of the organism is too slow to compute compared to the modern computers. Here, our idea is to artificially represent the amoeba search capability by electronically mimicking the spatiotemporal dynamics of the organism, which is called “electronic amoeba” (Fig. 1(b)) [2]. We have demonstrated that our system can find a reliable and swift solution to the intractable combinatorial optimization problems including maximum cut problem, satisfiability problem (SAT), and traveling salesman problem (TSP) [3]. In this paper, we show the important features of the amoeba dynamics in terms of the solution search and their electronic representations. We also show how to map the problem to the system, which has a great advantage than the currently available optimization computers called Ising machine. [1] e.g. L. Zhu, S.-J. Kim, M. Hara, and M.

The use of handheld computers such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) represents a feasible method of automating the transfer of files to computers for archiving and statistical analysis. Data collected using the PDA can be transferred directly to a database program on a desktop computer, virtually eliminating errors associated with the reentry of manually collected data. These devices are highly portable and can be housed in protective cases, enabling data collection even in inclement environments. The availability of handheld database programs that permit the development of electronic forms further makes the PDA a viable data collection platform for scientific research. These database applications not only allow novice users to develop customized forms that facilitate the recording of alphanumeric data; these applications also synchronize directly with current desktop-based database and spread-sheet applications. We used Microsoft Access database tables, along with Visual CE, a PocketPC database application, to generate electronic forms for collecting data from research trials conducted in 2003. To facilitate comparison with manual data collection, we also recorded observations using “pen and paper” methods. We found no differences between both methods in the length of time required to enter observations. However, the PDA transferred the data to a computer 600% faster relative to the manual reentry method. Using the handheld computer, field data was immediately available for compilation and statistical analysis within minutes of completing the data gathering process, at the same time ensuring the integrity and continuity of the files.

This article explains the concept and various aspects of mechanical design automation (MDA). The use of computers for mechanical design is often referred to as MDA. Serious commercialization of computer graphics for design and drafting began in 1969 with the founding of Computervision and Application. The commercial market picked up significantly in 1975, when new 19-inch storage tube display terminals became readily available from Tektronix. These units could be used with minicomputers without custom interfaces, and they could display substantially larger drawings than the older, 11-inch units. The 1980s saw tremendous growth and change in mechanical design automation. While the predominant computer continued to be the 16-bit Digital PDP-11, there was growing interest in Digital’s 32-bit VAX 11 /780. Display products were starting their transition from Tektronix’s storage tube units to raster displays, with color raster just around the corner. The 1990s was a decade of constant movement for the MDA industry.

Full textAbstract:
Digital literacy is a term that traditionally describes the extent to which a person is able to use interactive digital devices for living and working, such as computers and smartphones, as well as services delivered through these devices. The advent of the digital society at large and electronic business, specifically in the past decades, has broadened the use of digital devices beyond the isolated uses of working and simple communication; this advent has created digital ecosystems in which workers and consumers are embedded to various degrees, such as social media platforms or integrated shopping and media platforms. This embedding implies that a traditional, narrow notion of digital literacy needs to be extended and made more precise. For this purpose, we use the related notions of digital dexterity, digital proficiency and digital awareness. The term digital dexterity describes the extent to which an individual can handle or operate digital devices or services from a physical perspective. The term digital proficiency describes the extent to which an individual can use digital means to effectively and efficiently facilitate their living and working. The term digital awareness describes the extent to which individuals can understand what their position in digital ecosystems is, including the opportunities and threats of participating in these ecosystems. Digital literacy in the modern, broad interpretation is then the combination of digital dexterity, digital proficiency and digital awareness.

Full textAbstract:
The study is based on the approach of scientists to distinguish three levels of the digital economy, when the 1st level covers: information services; telecommunications; software and IT consulting; production of components. For the study of the 1st level of the digital economy in Ukraine, the following types of economic activity (TEA) were selected: production of computers, electronic and optical products; publishing software; telecommunications (electrical communications); computer programming, consulting and related activities; provision of information services. These TEA were evaluated according to the following indicators: volumes of sold products (goods, services); the number of employed workers; personnel costs. The sample was formed for the period 2012-2021. Statistical methods, methods of comparison and generalization were used in the research. Programming, consulting and related activities show the highest rate of increase in the volume of implementation during the studied period. The smallest growth is observed in the field of telecommunications, which is explained by the fact that the volume of implementation of communication services in the base year of 2012 exceeded other foreign trade several times. The production of computers, electronic and optical products in 2021 reached the highest value during the studied period. In 2017-2018 and in 2021, the provision of information services in terms of growth rates exceeded computer programming, consulting and related activities. The number of employees in the field of computer programming, consulting and related activities increased by 3.49 times over ten years, and in the field of information services - by 2.55 times. Despite the growth in sales of computers, electronic and optical products, and communication services, the number of employees at these TEA decreased significantly during the period under study. In 2019-2021, the growth trend of employed workers in the following areas was approximately the same: software publishing, computer programming, consulting and related activities; provision of information services. During the studied period, the costs per employee were the highest in the field of telecommunications. Since 2019, spending per employee in computer programming, consulting and related activities has been the lowest. The results of the research can be used to form an information base for making managerial decisions at various levels of the economy.

The aim of this study was to analyse electronic health record–related patient safety incidents in the patient safety incident reporting database in fully digital hospitals in Finland. We compare Finnish data to similar international data and discuss their content with regard to the literature. We analysed the types of electronic health record–related patient safety incidents that occurred at 23 hospitals during a 2-year period. A procedure of taxonomy mapping served to allow comparisons. This study represents a rare examination of patient safety risks in a fully digital environment. The proportion of electronic health record–related incidents was markedly higher in our study than in previous studies with similar data. Human–computer interaction problems were the most frequently reported. The results show the possibility of error arising from the complex interaction between clinicians and computers.

Full textAbstract:
Digital Eye Strain (DES) is currently an emerging public health threat. The strain is directly proportional to the duration of digital screen exposure (screens of mobiles, computers, laptops, tablets). Digital Eye Strain is characterized by dry eyes, itching, foreign body sensation, watering, blurring of vision, and headache. According to the American Optometric Association, the usage of digital devices continuously for two hours is adequate to bring in digital eye strain. The increased time spent on the electronic and digital gadgets is the sole contributor of DES. It is estimated that the a person spends nearly 4.5–7 hours a day on the computer/cell phones either at the office or at home. Management options for DES are symptoms-based and include a holistic and comprehensive approach, from the management of refractive errors and ocular surface dryness to providing workplace recommendations to improve visual comfort. Lubricating drops may reduce dry eye symptoms such as dryness, irritation, ocular discomfort, tiredness. Blinking exercises can also help in DES.

The same applies to children, as they spend many hours each day using electronic devices with digital displays to complete school assignments, play video games, and communicate in the Internet [4]. With the increasing use of these electronic devices, computer vision syndrome is becoming a major public health problem.

In our modern clock-ruled culture, it is not too much to say that no society can exist unless based on “time”. Computers, which are the key device of an information society, are equipped with high precision clocks to synchronize their entire circuit function. In an electronic environment or digital society built on computers, recordkeeping relates inevitably to the time that is ticked away by the clocks embedded in the computers. Time is thus the infrastructure of this information society. The scope of discussion here focuses on some specific industries and applications for time-stamping technologies. We focused mainly on time-authentication (time-stamp). This study will be further refined step by step as their validity is verified in actual use.

Computer is one of the indispensable tools in the human world, and human needs for it are increasing, so the emergence and application of more advanced computers are needed. The current computers do not respond intelligently, and it is difficult to meet people’s needs for information processing in the era of big data. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes the application of a neural network-based data classification algorithm in computers, aiming to study the practical application of the algorithm in computers. The research method of this paper is to introduce the BP neural network, select the appropriate method of classification features, and then study the data classification algorithm. The function of the research method is to compare the classification error and convergence speed of the BP network composed of different hidden layer nodes, to study whether a certain feature item of the data exists and the difference in the amount of information classification of the entire document, and to select high efficiency, accuracy, and scalability algorithm. This paper compares the forward reasoning time of the model before and after cutting through experiments based on neural network model design, algorithm design, and man-machine dialogue model design. The results show that, in terms of computing speed, the adaptive model compression method based on the accuracy and redundancy ratio compresses the model after the forward reasoning time is greatly reduced, and the reasoning time becomes 35% of the original, and in terms of calculation accuracy, the absolute error after using the SOM method in this article has not reached 0.5.

Computer Architecture is the study of digital computers towards designing, building and operating digital computers. Digital computers are vital for the modern living because they are essential in providing the intelligences in devices such as self-driving cars and smartphones. Computer Architecture is a core subject for the Electronic (Computer) Engineering course at the Universiti Malaysia Sabah that is compliant to the requirement of the Washington Accord as accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Council of the Board of Engineers of Malaysia (EAC). An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) based Computer Architecture Laboratory had been developed to support the curriculum of this course. FPGA allows a sustainable implementation of laboratory exercises without resorting to poisonous fabrication of microelectronic devices and installation of integrated circuits. An FPGA is just a configurable and therefore reusable digital design component. Two established organisations promoting computer engineering curriculum, ACM and IEEE, encourages the use of FPGA in digital design in their latest recommendation and together with the EAC, emphasises the grasp of the fundamentals for each student. The laboratory exercises are individual exercises where each student is given a unique assignment. A laboratory manual is provided as a guide and project specification for each student but overall the concept of the laboratory exercise is a student-centred one. Each student is allowed to pace their effort to achieve the sessions of the laboratory exercises starting from session one to session ten. A quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of these laboratory sessions is carried out based on the numbers of students completing the laboratory sessions. These sessions start from an 1:FPGA tutorial to implementations of features of a microprocessor of 2:Immediate Load, 3:Immediate Load to Multiple Registers, 4:Addition, 5:Operation Code, 6:Program Memory, 7:Jump, 8:Conditional Jump, 9:Register to Register and 10:Input-Output. The results of three batches of students show that within the time limits of a one credit hour course, students had managed to complete some aspects of the implementation of a simple microprocessor.

Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is a learning method that uses computer technology in the language learning process. This includes the use of software, applications, and other digital resources to assist students in learning English. Digital comics are a form of comic presented in digital format, which can be accessed and read via electronic devices such as computers, tablets or smartphones. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of learning CALL with digital comics in improving English reading skills. This research involves a pre-test and post-test comparison between experimental and control groups using narrative text material. There were 60 students from class XI. A and XI. C SMA 2 Muhammadiyah Bandar Lampung in the academic year 2023/2024. The results showed a significant increase in the scores of the experimental group post-intervention, especially in the higher score range (84-100). The findings show that the CALL method with digital comics is an effective tool to improve English reading skill among high school students.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explains the concept of mechatronics and tries to resolve problem of leadership. It consists of four overlapping circles: mechanical systems, electronic systems, control systems, and computers. Their overlaps form digital control systems, control electronics, electromechanics, and mechanical computer-aided design. The question of who owns mechatronics—who will lead the development of next-generation electromechanical systems—often depends on where engineers work. Companies that make mechanical systems tend to let mechanical engineers lead; those that make electronics assign the lead to software and electrical engineers. In the future, though, the issue may be decided by how colleges train the next generation of mechanical engineers. Right now, most schools teach controls, basic electronics, and programming as part of the mechanical engineering curriculum. Universities are introducing courses with a goal to integrate courses so that electrical, control, and mechanical engineers learn how different disciplines use the same core knowledge to achieve different results.

Quantum computers consist of a quantum processor – sets of quantum bits or qubits operating at an extremely low temperature – and a classical electronic controller to read out and control the processor. The machines utilize the unusual properties of matter at extremely small scales – the fact that a qubit, can represent “1” and “0” at the same time, a phenomenon known as superposition. (In traditional digital computing, transistors in silicon chips can exist in one of two states represented in binary by a 1 or 0 not both).
Under the right conditions, computations carried out with qubits are equivalent to numerous classical computations performed in parallel, thus greatly enhancing computing power compared to today’s powerful supercomputers and the ability to solve complex problems without the sort of experiments necessary to generate quantum phenomena.
this technology is unstable and needs to be stored in a cool environment for faster and more secure operation.In this paper, we discuss the possibility of integrating quantum computers with electronics at deep cryogenic temperatures.

All work, starting with the design of computers and ending with the stage of creating computers and software, was carried out at the institutes of the Academy of Sciences. On December 4, 1948, I.S. Brook and B.I. Rameev received a copyright certificate for the invention of an automatic digital machine. It was the first official document indicating the beginning of work on the creation of computers in the USSR. The first Soviet computer, the M-1, was created at the Power Energy Institute under the leadership of Corresponding Member I.S. Brook. At the Institute of Precise Mechanics and Computer Engineering, under the guidance of Academician S.A. Lebedev, the most successful series of Soviet computers, BESM, was produced. The first copies of all new models of computers before being launched into a series were subjected to comprehensive tests at the Institute of Applied Mathematics, whose director was Academician M.V. Keldysh. Academician S.L. Sobolev was the ancestor of the Russian school of programming. The article contains little-known information about the first steps of computer science in Russia. Some facts about the history of those years were hidden in the archives for a long time and are now published for the first time.

These recently used digital signatures are not secure with quantum computers. To protect against quantum computer attacks, many researchers propose digital signature schemes based on error-correcting codes such as linear, Goppa, polar, and so on. We studied 16 distinct papers based on various error-correcting codes and analyzed their various features such as signing and verification efficiency, signature size, public key size, and security against multiple attacks.</span>

The first generation of children to grow up with electronic toys and games saw computers as our “nearest neighbors.” They spoke of computers as rational machines and of people as emotional machines, a fragile formulation destined to be challenged. By the mid-1990s, computational creatures, including robots, were presenting themselves as “relational artifacts,” beings with feelings and needs. One consequence of this development is a crisis in authenticity in many quarters. In an increasing number of situations, people behave as though they no longer place value on living things and authentic emotion. This paper examines watershed moments in the history of human–machine interaction, focusing on the pertinence of relational artifacts to our collective perception of aliveness, life’s purposes, and the implications of relational artifacts for relationships. For now, the exploration of human–robot encounters leads us to questions about the morality of creating believable digital companions that are evocative but not authentic.

Full textAbstract:
A reservoir computer is a type of dynamical system arranged to do computation. Typically, a reservoir computer is constructed by connecting a large number of nonlinear nodes in a network that includes recurrent connections. In order to achieve accurate results, the reservoir usually contains hundreds to thousands of nodes. This high dimensionality makes it difficult to analyze the reservoir computer using tools from the dynamical systems theory. Additionally, the need to create and connect large numbers of nonlinear nodes makes it difficult to design and build analog reservoir computers that can be faster and consume less power than digital reservoir computers. We demonstrate here that a reservoir computer may be divided into two parts: a small set of nonlinear nodes (the reservoir) and a separate set of time-shifted reservoir output signals. The time-shifted output signals serve to increase the rank and memory of the reservoir computer, and the set of nonlinear nodes may create an embedding of the input dynamical system. We use this time-shifting technique to obtain excellent performance from an opto-electronic delay-based reservoir computer with only a small number of virtual nodes. Because only a few nonlinear nodes are required, construction of a reservoir computer becomes much easier, and delay-based reservoir computers can operate at much higher speeds.

Digital transformation has been particularly influential in new directions of society.Providing schools with digital technology promises a high return on investment. The presence of computers and Internet access raises technology literacy and skills, better preparing the future generations to participate in the information society [12]. To this end, schools represent ideal access points because they cover a large part of the population, especially in developing countries. Starting from 1990s, many educators have been realised the potential of Internet for educational purposes and began to introduce it into classrooms. According to [10] the popularity of web-based teaching and learning lies in the strengths of its distributed nature and the case of its browsing facility. Both the use of digital technology and increased interest in student-centered learning may lead to a significant change of the teacher’s role, as well as the recognition of the active role of the learner in the learning process.

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a means through which copyrights can be protected using technology rather than the legal system. It is controversial because it allows content creators to control the level of access that users have to content they have purchased to a much greater degree than ever before. In additional to preventing illegal piracy, DRM allows content creators to prohibit the “Fair Uses” that the legal system has consistently protected. Human factors practitioners involved in the design of electronic devices that use copyrighted media, including computers, music players, gaming systems, cell phones, digital video recorders, and others, must recognize the effects of DRM on consumer product design. When analyzing user requirements, the interaction between DRM software and user behaviors must be considered. User interfaces should be designed to make the constraints imposed by DRM and the access that is supported easily visible. Including a consideration of DRM and its interactions with interface design will increase the likelihood that consumer electronics are successful.

Introduction:The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is now the standard means for recording and maintaining medical notes in most emergency departments. The EHR is an independent cause of physician burnout, and maintenance of the EHR may occupy 30 to 50% of clinical time. There are software solutions available, but they are connected to fixed, expensive, distracting, and bright electronically powered computers. Scribes have been successfully trialed, but are also expensive and attached to computers on wheels. Portable digital word processors in the form of the AlphaSmart Neo is a redundant technology designed primarily for children with typing difficulties. It has recently enjoyed a resurgence in popularity among professional writers, journalists, and field researchers for the ultimate distraction-free writing experience. The Alphasmart Neo is cheap, nearly indestructible, intuitive, and requires almost no recharging. It is compatible with all software across Mac OS, Windows, and Linux. Notes are entered by the clinician or scribe, independently of computers, at the bedside, and uploaded to any software via USB cable.Aim:To describe the introduction and impact of the AlphaSmart Neo on the EHR in emergency departments across Australia.Methods:We will examine the role of the Alphasmart Neo in austere, low power, extreme environments with a demonstration on how to enter, maintain, and transfer an electronic health record independent of any computer or power source.Discussion:We believe the AlphaSmart Neo is an ideal, personalized, cheap, effective, and efficient hardware solution to entering notes independent of other software and hardware. It is distraction free at the patient’s bedside, resulting in better notes that the clinician enjoys writing.
