First Computer Invented
Mar 24th
First Computer
A computer in its most simplest definition is a device for computation or a programmable machine. There are many discrepancies in answering the question of which was the first computer invented. If a historian is asked they might tell you that the first device for computation was developed in Asia about 5000 years ago, which aided is and is known as the Abacus. However, the first modern computer, as we know it, was invented during World Ward II.
The very first programmable computer (the Z1) was built by Konrad Zuse in 1938 after resigning from his job as an engineer for and aircraft factory in Germany. The Z1 had all the basics of our modern day machines, such as use of the binary system and separation of storage and control. The Z1 had memory for 64 words, which meant that each word contained 22 bits, and a clock speed of 1 Hz. In order for a user to program the Z1 it was required that the user insert punch tape, a long strip of paper with holes that were used to store data, into a punch tape reader. Though this test model never functioned for any practical use due to imperfections it was the beginning of the development of a series of Z machines that soon led to the development of the Z3, which was the first computer that was both freely programmable and fully automatic.
Like the Z1 the Z3 read programs off a punched film. The Z3 was built with over 2,000 relays (electrically operated switches), had a clock speed of about 5 to 10 Hz, and also had a word length of 22 bits. The computer used binary numbers as well as floating point arithmetic and could convert decimal to binary and back again. The Z3 was completed and successfully presented to scientist in 1941 in Berlin. Unfortunately the original Z3 was destroyed by an Allied attack in 1945 (In the 1960s a replica was built by Zuse’s company and is on display permanently at the Deutsches Museum).
Another first in computers was the ENIAC (Electronic Numerator, Integrator, Analyzer, and Computer), invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly between 1943-1946. The ENIAC was the first digital computer. This computer was massive in size, it was about 1,800 square feet and used about 18,000 vacuum tubes, and weighed between 30-50 tons. The ENIAC capable of adding 5,000 ten-digit decimal numbers per second, contained 7,200 crystal diodes, 1,500 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors and around 5 million hand-soldered joints.

Mar 17th
Hello newbie money makers online! Here is my first of many tutorials on how to make money online. Today I will teach you how to make money with neobux. Before that, let’s check first if you are qualified in this job.
Qualifications:

- You need to be a member at neobux.com – obviously you should be a member to get paid. It’s also free to be a member. If you are not a member yet, click here to register at neobux.com
- You need to dedicate at least 5 minutes daily on this job – if not, you are either not interested in this job or just plain lazy.
- You want to earn extra $300-$1000 or more per month!!!
Here’s the details of neobux.com:
NEOBUX. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW.
Number of daily ads: 5+
Earning per own click: $0.01
Earning per referral click: $0.01
Minimum payout: $2.00
Payment method: alertpay, paypal
Payment request: instant
Payment proof:(click the thumbnails below to enlarge)
So you think you’re qualified? Then let’s begin with the tutorial.
Step 1. Login to your neobux account. Once logged in, you should be directed to the “view advertisement” page automatically. If not, just click the link that says “view advertisement” with a red number beside it (the red number indicates how many ads you can click for the day). See image below…
Step 2. In that page, you can now start clicking. Click the first ad link with the yellow star beside it. Once you click it, a red button will appear. Click the red button to view the advertisement as shown in the image below…
Step 3. Once you click the red button, a new page will popup. You will notice a yellow bar in the upper left, that is your timer. Wait for it to complete. Usually it takes 30 seconds. See the image below…
Step 4. Once the timer is complete, you will see that the yellow bar will show a check mark and a note that the advertisement has been validated. That means you earned by viewing that advertisement. Check the image below…
Step 5. When you’re done with the first ad. Exit that browser and go back to the view advertisement page. You would notice that the yellow star became a gray star, that means you already viewed the ad. Click the next advertisement and repeat the same process. Once you are done, you should see all yellow stars becoming gray. That means you are done for the day. It’s that easy! Just like in the image below…
Step 6. You can click again after 24 hours. Sometimes when you go back, you will see gray clocks instead. That means you still can’t click them. You can only click and earn on the advertisement if its a yellow star. See image below…
Thats easy! By just doing the simple steps everyday, you start earning slowly but surely! If you want to earn faster, you need to get some referrals.
Referrals are easy. Just copy the referral link from the banners link on the left and share it with your friends. When someone joins Neobux with your referral link, you get half the credit for his/her clicks for the rest of your life. The more referrals you have the more you earn. Stats show that with only 5 mins per day, a few clicks and a decent amount of referrals, you can earn upto a 100 dollars a month within 2-3 months and upto 1000 dollars a month within a year! Unbelievable? well you wont do much wrong by giving 5 mins of your day. In the beginning I also thought this was just another one of those money making scams but when I started getting paid consistently I realized this is as genuine a program as it gets.
