Early computing devices were limited to specific types of computations or tasks that could be implemented by machines. Today's computers are designed to allow for general-purpose tasks and computations. Modern computing devices that depend on general purpose design concepts needed a technology that made these theories practical in the real world. Which of the following technologies made today's computers possible?Select one:a.Algebra and mechanicsb.Calculus and electricityc.Logic and magnetismd.Logic and electronics

Which advancement allowed computers to become more than simple data calculators?A.The iPadB.The tabletC.The microprocessorD.The laptop

he history of software design can be traced back to the early writings of Ada Lovelace and Alan Turing, who both described theoretical models that would be useful to scientists. Which of the following allowed us to implement theories of software using physical machines in the real world?Select one:a.FORTRANb.Formal logicc.Binary numbersd.Electronic circuits
