(For Union Bank of India, Andhra Bank, Dena Bank, Andhra Bank, Bank of Baroda, State Bank of India etc.)
Questions on Computer Awareness have recently been introduced in most Bank Recruitment exams. To help you prepare better for the Bank exams we present to you the revision notes on Computer Awareness.
1. The earlier computers, which were massive in size, were based onvacuum tubes.
2. Early computing machines, like the ENIAC, were actually meant to assist the armed forces.
3. The printers in pre-1950s were punch cards.
4. An improvement on the ENIAC, which pioneered 'stored program', was made possible with the help of the mathematician John von Neumann.
