Day 1 - Objectives
8. An electronic device that stores and
manipulates information. It is maybe in
the form of text, graphics, video, or
sounds. The instructions that direct the
computer are called software or
computer program.
Computer Definition
9. A computer is a programmable machine
designed to perform arithmetic and logical
operations automatically and sequentially
on the input given by the user and gives the
desired output after processing.
Computer Definition
10. Computer components are divided into two
major categories namely hardware and
software. Hardware is the machine itself and its
connected devices such as monitor, keyboard,
mouse and etc. Software are the set of
programs that make use of hardware for
performing various functions.
Computer Definition
11. The computer as we know it today had its beginning with a
19th century English mathematics professor name Charles
Babbage. He designed the Analytical Engine and it was this
design that the basic framework of the computers of today
are based on.
A BRIEF COMPUTER HISTORY
12. Generally speaking, computers can be classified into
three generations. Each generation lasted for a
certain period of time, and each gave us either a new
and improved computer or an improvement to the
existing computer.
A BRIEF COMPUTER HISTORY
13. In 1937 the first electronic digital computer was built
by Dr. John V. Atanasoff and Clifford Berry. It was
called the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC). In 1943
an electronic computer name the Colossus was built
for the military.
A BRIEF COMPUTER HISTORY
First generation: 1937 – 1946
16. Other developments continued until in 1946 the first
general– purpose digital computer, the Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) was built.
It is said that this computer weighed 30 tons, and had 18,000
vacuum tubes which was used for processing. When this
computer was turned on for the first time lights dim in
sections of Philadelphia. Computers of this generation could
only perform single task, and they had no operating system.
A BRIEF COMPUTER HISTORY
First generation: 1937 – 1946
19. This generation of computers used transistors instead of
vacuum tubes which were more reliable. In 1951 the first
computer for commercial use was introduced to the public;
the Universal Automatic Computer (UNIVAC 1).
In 1953 the International Business Machine (IBM) 650 and
700 series computers made their mark in the computer
world.
A BRIEF COMPUTER HISTORY
Second generation: 1947 – 1962
22. During this generation of computers over 100 computer
programming languages were developed, computers had
memory and operating systems.
Storage media such as tape and disk were in use also were
printers for output.
A BRIEF COMPUTER HISTORY
Second generation: 1947 – 1962
23.
24. The invention of integrated circuit brought us the third
generation of computers. With this invention computers
became smaller, more powerful more reliable and they are
able to run many different programs at the same time.
A BRIEF COMPUTER HISTORY
Third generation: 1963 - present
25. In 1980 Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-Dos) was born
and in 1981 IBM introduced the personal computer (PC) for
home and office use.
Three years later Apple gave us the Macintosh computer
with its icon driven interface and the 90s gave us Windows
operating system.
A BRIEF COMPUTER HISTORY
Third generation: 1963 - present
31. As a result of the various improvements to the
development of the computer we have seen the computer
being used in all areas of life.
It is a very useful tool
that will continue to
experience new
development as time
passes.
32. Computers are usually categories into three general categories:
COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS
1. Super computer
The fastest, largest, most powerful and most expensive
computer.
33. Computers are usually categories into three general categories:
COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS
2. Mainframe Computer
This is a little smaller and less powerful than the
supercomputer, but, like the supercomputer it is
also expensive.
34. Computers are usually categories into three general categories:
COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS
3. Personal Computer (PC)
This is the computer that most people use in their
daily lives. This computer is much smaller, less
powerful and less expensive than the
supercomputer and the mainframe computer.
35. There are two main types of personal computers.
Macintosh (Macs) and the PC compatibles (PC). The main
differences between the two are the operating systems and
the processor they use.
This category of computer has two additional types of
computers. These are mobile computer and handheld
computer.
COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS
36. The most popular type of mobile computer is the notebook
or laptop computer,
COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS
and the handheld computer is a very small PC that you can
hold in your hand.
38. BASIC PARTS OF A COMPUTER
MONITOR
The monitor allows you to see what you and
your computer are doing together. It looks
like a TV screen.
39. BASIC PARTS OF A COMPUTER
SYSTEM UNIT
It is the brain and heart of computer.
The system unit is the enclosure for all the
other main interior components of a computer.
It is also called the computer case, computer
chassis, or computer tower.
40. BASIC PARTS OF A COMPUTER
It helps you talk with the computer what to do
by typing the letters or numbers on the
keyboard.
KEYBOARD
43. COMPUTER PERIPHERALS
A mouse is a handheld pointing device
used to position a cursor on
a computer screen.
This allows the user to select items
stored on a computer.
46. COMPUTER PERIPHERALS
The joystick is used in playing
computer games. It works like the
mouse and the arrow keys found in
the keyboard.
47. COMPUTER PERIPHERALS
The digital camera or digicam captures
pictures into a computer. These
pictures or images can be saved in the
computer.
48. COMPUTER PERIPHERALS
The printer takes what you see on
the computer screen and prints it
on paper.
The printed copy is called hard copy.
It can be in color or in black.
49. COMPUTER PERIPHERALS
The speaker produce sounds
coming from the computer. They
add excitement to playing
computer games. They also allow
you to hear your favorite music.
50. COMPUTER PERIPHERALS
The headphone is a handy speaker
placed directly over the ears. It
allows the user to listen to the sound
coming from the computer.
56. COMPUTER DEVICES
Processing devices
The electronic components are
considered internal hardware
seeing that they are inside the
system unit and you cannot see
when you look at the
computer.
58. COMPUTER DEVICES
Output devices
They are parts of a computer that
produces the results of the instructions
processes by the Central Processing Unit.
60. COMPUTER DEVICES
Storage devices / media
They are devices that store data or
information. Some storage devices are
permanently installed in the computer,
others are portable and may be
transported.
62. Inside the system unit
Internal components are as follow:
It converts electricity into the
current works for the computer.
When the computer is turned on
the power supply allows
converted electricity to travel to
other components inside the
computer.Power Supply
63. Internal components are as follow:
The motherboard is the circuit
board that holds the main
internal components of the
computer.
Motherboard
Inside the system unit
64. Internal components are as follow:
On the motherboard there are three major cards;
sound card that operates the sound, the video card
that handles the graphics that you see on the monitor
and the modem card which allows computers to
communicate with each other.
Inside the system unit
68. Internal components are as follow:
Also on the motherboard is the Central Processing
Unit (CPU), processor or brain of the computer. The
CPU controls information and tells the other
components inside the computer what to do.
Inside the system unit
69. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The electronic circuitry within a
computer that carries out the
instructions of a computer
program by performing the
basic arithmetic, logic,
controlling, and input/output
operations specified by the
instructions.
Inside the system unit
70. Internal components are as follow:
ROM stands for read only
memory. This memory holds
information that you can only
read, but not erase. Information
in ROM is built in and is always
there even when the computer is
turned off.ROM
Inside the system unit
71. Internal components are as follow:
RAM stands for random access
memory. This memory holds the
information you are working with
while the computer is turned on.
Once you turn the computer off
all the information that was in
RAM will be gone.
