Computing can mean a way to solve a problem using the algorithm. Modern computing means computing with the computer as an appliance. Until now, modern computing is still growing up to any computing problems in the past can be resolved quickly and accurately. John Von Neumann, who became the founder of modern computing. He who first proposed the concept of a system that receives the instruction-instruction and store it in a memory. These concepts form the basis of modern computer architecture.
John von Neumann (1903-1957) is a scientist who laid the foundations of the modern computer. In her short life, von Neumann had become great scientists of the 21st century. Von Neumann improve his work in the fields of mathematics, quantum theory, game theory, nuclear physics, and computer science. He is also one of the scientists who are very influential in manufacturing at Los Alamos atomic bomb during World War II past.
Von Neumann's expertise lies in the field of game theory that gave birth to the concept of cellular automata, the atomic bomb technology, and modern computing who gave birth to the computer. His genius in mathematics has been seen little since to be able to disburse the eight-digit numbers (figures) in the head.

In December 1994 the property Spyglass Microsoft has paid and given a license, so for web browsers that will Spyglass name will be replaced with the name of Internet Explorer.
In 1995, Spyglass has become part of the OS and is part of windows.
One obtained from the ease of modern computing is Cloud Computing. Perhaps many do not know about Cloud Computing, but I think many who have used this. One of which is included in Google's Cloud Computing is Doc. Cloud Computing is an innovation in which a computerized activities conducted through the Internet. This is probably never imagined by people in the past but it is very easy to bring large enough. Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like the electricity grid.
