Answer 1

1.true (ARPANET was the first wide area network with ditributed control and which implement TCP/IP protocol suite. this is established by Advance Research Project Agency(ARPA) of the United States department of defence.Its initial Purpose was to link computers at pentagon-funded reaserch institutions over telephone lines).

2. COBOL (COBOL is a common business oriented language. It is high level programming language.he US Department of Defense, in a conference, formed CODASYL (Conference on Data Systems Language) to develop a language for business data processing needs which is now known as COBOL.

3.true ( Transistors and vaccume tubes are no longer is used in computer because they are replaced with ICs. Vaccume tube are used in first generations computers which was very tough to operate and needs much space so in second generation computers it replaced with transistors but it is also very tough to operate and needs much space , produce more heat.)

4. false (Short for Programmed Data Processor, PDP was a series of computers developed by Digital. The first PDP, and the first minicomputer was the PDP-1. It was developed in 1960 and had five-megacycle circuits, a magnetic core memory, and fully parallel processing with a computation rate of 100,000 additions per second. The PDP series included the PDP-4, PDP-6, PDP-7, PDP-8, PDP-9, PDP-10, PDP-11, PDP-12, PDP-14, and PDP-15 computer.)

5. Fortran ( FORTRAN, in full Formula Translation, computer-programming language created in 1957 by John Backus that shortened the process of programming and made computer programming more accessible.)
