Various Forms of Computing and Paradigm Shifts in Computing

28191

Computing is a general term that points to all kinds of activities requiring, benefiting from or designing computers for different needs. As the definition states, computing is tightly coupled with computers and that is why, various forms of computing have emerged from past to present in parallel with the evolution of the computer technology. Inherently, this period of time has brought many technical words consisting of the term “computing” into the literature along the way. The main objective of this study is to put an end to the confusions caused by those computing-related terms in question and to address the paradigm shifts in computing from a historical perspective.
