3. LESSON OBJECTIVES
At the end of this lesson, the student should be able to:
Explain general issues concerning information technology
Understand computer and information security and
distinguish between computer crime and cybercrime
Analyze the role and impact of information technology
on everyday life.

4. Digital technology culture
Digital culture refers to culture shaped by the emergence
and use of digital technologies. It can also be said of how
people use and interact with technology in their works and
lives. It describes the idea that technology and the
Internet significantly shape the way we interact behave,
think, and communicate as human beings in a societal
setting.

5. THE INTERNET
The Internet is a globally connected network system that
usesTransmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) to transmit data through various types of media
like coaxial cable, twisted pair cable, fiber-optic cable and
wireless.TCP/IP is a set of standardized rules that allow
computers to communicate on a network such as the
Internet.

7. THE INTERNET
It is worth knowing thatWWW which meansWorld
WideWeb is not the same as the Internet.TheWorld
WideWeb however is a collection of information
which is accessed through the Internet.The web has
matured through three generations, commonly called
Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0.

8. COMPUTER & INFORMATION SECURITY
Information security involves protecting individuals
and organizations information from theft and danger.
Computer security focuses on protecting information,
hardware, and software from unauthorized use, as
well as preventing or limiting the damage from
intrusions, sabotage, and natural disasters.

9. COMPUTER CRIME
Computer crime is an act performed by a knowledgeable
computer user, sometimes referred to as a hacker that
illegally browses or steals a company's or individuals private
information. It can also be defined as the use of information
technology for illegal purposes or for unauthorized access
of a computer system where the intent is to damage, delete
or alter the data present on the computer.

10. TYPES OF COMPUTER CRIME
Cracking
Unauthorized access
Computer malware
Denial-of-service attack

11. CYBERCRIMECRIME
Cybercrime is any criminal activity that involves a
computer, a networked device or a network.
Cybercrimes happen in the cyberspace in that the
computer is used as a tool alright but the target is not
the computer unlike a computer crime where the tool
used and the target happens to be the computer.

12. TYPES OF CYBERCRIME
Identity theft
Social engineering
Malvertising
Cyberstalking

13. EFFECTS OF COMPUTER & CYBERCRIMES
It can lead to job loss.
It damages brand image and company or individual’s
reputation.
There is high cost in mitigation strategies and recovery
from cyber and computer crimes.
It can lead to loss of trade and competitiveness.

14. ROLEAND IMPACT OF
TECHNOLOGY

15. Computer based training
Computer-based training is a learning method in which a
computer program is used as the primary mode of teaching.
With this type of training, you are able to teach yourself with
little or no outside help from a teacher.As you use the program,
you can study at your own pace and the program tracks your
progress. It involves the use of a personal or networked
computer for the delivery and access of training programs.

16. IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTER BASED
TRAINING
There is immediate feedback on work.
It respects one learning pace whether fast or slow learner.
It uses a multimedia approach to teaching like sound, sight
and interactive activities, therefore it works for all learning
types, whether you learn through reading, seeing or doing.

17. IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTER BASED
TRAINING
It allows for consistency in the training since the same
materials are used and there is no need to account for
individual teaching styles of instructors.
It is easy to track and analyze progress of trainees.
It is flexible and efficient

18. Computer AIDED DESIGN
Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the use of computer
software to design and document a product’s design process.
CAD is used to design, develop and optimize products. While
it is very versatile, CAD is extensively used in the design of
tools and equipment required in the manufacturing process
as well as in the construction domain. CAD enables design
engineers to layout and to develop their work on a computer
screen, print and save it for future editing.

19. IMPORTANCE OF Computer AIDED
DESIGN
It is very easy to edit design work.
There is a decrease in error percentage.
There is a decrease in design effort.
It is easy to share design work.
There is improvement in accuracy.

20. Computer ASSISTED MANUFACTURING
Computer assisted manufacturing (CAM) can be
defined as the use of computer systems to plan,
manage, and control the operations of a
manufacturing plant through either direct or
indirect computer interface with the plant’s
production resources.

21. IMPORTANCE OF Computer ASSISTED
MANUFACTURING
There is improvement in the manufacturing process.
It is very efficient and produces items quicker.
It is reliable, accurate and flexible.
It eliminates errors that may arise in the manual way
of manufacturing.
It is good for complex manufacturing processes.

22. Try thy hands on
Define the following:
A. Computer based learning.
B. Computer aided design.
C. Computer assisted manufacturing
List four (4) importance of the following:
A. Computer based learning.
B. Computer aided design.
C. Computer assisted manufacturing
