What are some parts of an old computer 1990-2000 that are not used anymore in modern day computers?
In regard to technology, we no longer use IDE drive interface technology (as it has been replaced by SATA), ISA or VLB expansion slots (as they have been replaced by PCI and PCI Express), dial-up modems (as we now use integrated Ethernet and/or wireless network adapters to interface with broadband internet connections as well as on-site networking systems), floppy drive interfaces and their related floppy drives (not to mention the QIC-80 protocol-based tape drives and Zip drives as all are now obsolete), parallel and serial ports (superseded for the most part by USB ports though there are still some very rare occasions when both parallel and serial ports are used even to this day), and much more. One of the biggest changes that I find preferable is the fact that the pins for CPU interfaces have moved from the chips to the sockets. This makes storage of unmounted CPUs much easier since there are no pins to protect from being bent or broken off.
As far as actual parts, that can be answered by listing various types of RAM, hard drive designs, types of tape drives, etc. For example, in regard to RAM, we no longer use RAM SIMMs of the 30- or 72-pin varieties nor do we use the more modern DIMMs of speeds lower than about DDR2-800 (such as PC100, PC133, DDR333, DDR400, DDR2-667, and DDR2-800). We also do not use floppy drive cables, IDE cables, or (generally speaking) do we use CD-ROM audio cables any longer. Most people do not use video cards or sound cards any longer since those technologies are integrated into modern systems. The same can be said about networking cards.
The machines of today are quite different in their design than those of yesteryear even though their functions are the same as their predecessors. The same progress can be said about cars, cellular phones, and even more mundane things such as elevators, televisions, and radios. As times rolls on, the technologies used are improved or replaced by better technologies but they still serve the same purposes within our daily experiences.

What is a sense amplifier?
a sense amplifier is used to convert a weak signal indicating the state of a computer memory cell into a strong enough signal to latch into a buffer register that the computer can read. early computers used them on electrostatic and magnetic core memory. modern computers have them built into DRAM chips directly, so computer designers don't even usually have to think about them anymore.
Was Apple the first computers made?
No. The first computer that resembles modern computers was made in the early to mid 40s. They were considerably larger and less capable than today's computers, but they were computers none the less. Apple released their first computer kit - the Apple I Personal Computer Kit in 1976.
How does the early computer developed into a modern computer?
Computers have evolved through the years from simple, room-sized calculators to machines capable of trillions of computations every second. Along with shrinking equipment size, computers have exponentially increased in computing power.
What is the deffirent between old computer and modern computer?
Newer computers are similar to older computers. This is a very general question. Typically, newer computers have more memory, data storage, calculation power, and video rendering capabilities.
When was the first modern computer invented?
in the 5os-tshayThat depends on how you define 'modern-day computers'. The first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940-1945), and were the size of a large room. Personal computers (PCs) only came about in the 1970s, after the microprocessor was introduced.It's impossible to pin down an exact date of invention or inventor, as multiple companies worked on developing the computer as we know it. You could check out the release dates for certain milestone computers, such as the Scelbi & Mark-8 Altair & IBM 5100 Computers (1974/75), but all in all, the development of the computer was a progressive collaboration.
What is a modern computer?
all the newest computers you buy now are considered as "modern computer".
What did the modern computer developed from?
Earlier computers.
The father of modern computer?
Alan Turing is considered to be the father of the modern computer. He was a mathematician and is the creator of the Turing machine which was the precursor to modern computers.
What is the sixth computer generation?
the sixth generation of computers means the modern computers
Is there mercury in a computer?
Older computers might have mercury, but most modern computers are Mercury-Free.

Is a desktop computer a type of analog computer?
No, your desktop computer is a digital computer as are virtually all modern computers.
What are some commonalities between the ENIAC and modern computers?
Eniac had a multitude of bugs and crashes, the modern computers have a multitude of bugs and crashes. For the next 10 years no commonalities anymore between ENIAC and the future computers.
What did the word computer mean before computers were invented?
Before modern computers were invented word "computer" meant "somebody who computes".
What is a sense amplifier?

Why is computer desired in modern business transactions?
Role of Computers in modern business and in various functional areas of business.
What part of many modern computers has the word 'crop' inside its name?
Mi-CROP-rocessor, the king of the modern computer. Without it, the computer would not know what to do, when to do it, or what it is.
