WHAT IS COMPUTER?
A machine for making

calculations or controlling operations (numerical or logical terms). Word of computer comes from Latins word computare that means to counts or sum up.

WHAT IS COMPUTER? (cont.)

Made from components that

perform simple well-defined functions.

It is used to store, transfer &

transform data to information at a very fast speed.

It receives data as input, store,

process, then produced output as results.

EVOLUTION of COMPUTER

First Generation (1937-1954)

Vacuum Tube
1st Generation computer is developed using vacuum tube which is electronic tube made by glass. The size is similar as lamp bulb

Second Generation (1954 1959)

Transistor
Computer was built using transistor, small component that transfer electronic signal through resistor. The size is smaller, energy saving, less heat.
Make computer faster than 1st generation.

Third Generation (1959 1971)

Integrated Circuit (IC)
Transistor replaced with Integrated Circuit (IC) technology. IC was developed by the planar process (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_process)

Circuit components are interconnected by photoengraving on a flat, polished water, usually silicon. Computers grow smaller and much more powerful.

Fourth Generation (1971 1991)

Microprosessor
The modern day computers. The Size started to go down with the improvement in the integrated circuits. Very Large Scale(VLSI) and Ultra Large scale(ULSI) ensured that millions of components could be fit into a small chip.

It reduced the size and price of the computers at the same time increasing power, efficiency and reliability.
The Intel 4004 chip, developed in 1971, took the integrated circuit one step further by locating all the components of a computer (central processing unit, memory, and input and output controls) on a minuscule chip.

Fifth Generation (1991 and beyond)

Worl Wide Web
The Fifth-Generation Computer was to be the end result of a massive government/industry research project in Japan during the 1980s. It aimed to create an "epoch-making computer" with supercomputer-like performance and usable artificial intelligence capabilities

INPUT DEVICES
Lets user communicate with a computer. User can enter information and issue commands. A keyboard, mouse, digital camera and joystick are input devices.

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT

Main chip in a computer. Processes instructions,

performs calculations & manages the flow of information through a computer system. Communicates with input, output and storage devices to perform tasks.

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (cont.)

3 parts of CPU:
Register ( Control Unit (CU) Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)

STORAGE
A storage device is used to place information on storage media.
The computer uses information stored on the storage media to perform tasks.

OUTPUT
An output device is used to display the results of the information processed by the computer. Common output devices are printers, monitors and speakers.

HARDWARE
Hardware is any part of a computer system you can see or touch.
A peripheral is any piece of hardware attached to a computer, such as a printer.

SOFTWARE
A set of electronic instructions that tell a computer

what to do. 2 types of software:

Application Software Operating System Software

OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE

OS controls the overall activity of a computer.
Most new computers come with the Windows XP, Windows Vista & Windows 7 operating system software.

APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Application software allows user to accomplish specific tasks.
Popular application software includes Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.

Advantages of Computers
a. can write more effectively with computers.
There are tools like spelling and grammar checker, thesaurus and dictionary, installed in the computer.

b. remain connected to the world through

Internet:

electronic mail (e-mail), file transferring and sharing, online chat and gaming.

c. used for education and training purposes.

Computer network
is a collection of computers and devices

connected by communications channels that facilitates communications among users and allows users to share resources with other users.
