 The following information is provided to you from one computer book. Read it
carefully and take the instructions following.

COMPUTER DEVELOPMENT AFTER THE WAR

By 1965, large businesses usually processed financial information using computers.

It was the stored program and programming language that
gave computers the flexibility to finally be cheap and
productive for business use. Though transistors were
clearly an improvement over the vacuum tube, they still
generated a lot of heat, which damaged the computer's
sensitive internal parts.

Jack Kilby, an engineer with Texas Instruments, developed the Integrated Circuit
(IC) in 1958. The IC combined three electronic components onto a small silicon disk,
which was made from quartz. Scientists later managed to fit even more components
on a single chip, called a semiconductor.

By the 1980's, Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) out together hundreds of
thousands of components onto a chip. Ultra-large scale integration increased that
number into the millions.

Instructions:

a) Using a suitable program of your choice, Typeset the above text and insert the
computer clip shown as it appears and save as ‘development’. (6 marks)
