TOPIC 3.1: OUTPUT DEVICES OF COMPUTER SYSTEM
BRIEF INTRODUCTION:
Computer output devices receive information from the computer and carry data that has been
processed by the computer to the user. Output devices provide data in myriad different forms, some of
which include audio, visual, and hard copy media. The devices are usually used for display, projection,
or for physical reproduction.
● Cathode Ray Tube – this uses phosphorescent dots to generate the pixels that constitute
displayed images.
● Flat Panel Screen – this makes use of liquid crystals or plasma to produce output. Light
is passed through the liquid crystals to generate pixels.
All monitors depend on a video card, which is positioned either on the computer motherboard or
in a special expansion slot. The video card sorts out the computer data into image details that the
monitors can then show.
2. Printer - this device generates a hard copy version of processed data, like documents
and photographs. The computer transmits the image data to the printer, which then
physically recreates the image, typically on paper.
Types of Printers
● Ink Jet – this kind of printer sprays tiny dots of ink onto a surface to form an image.
● Laser – this type utilizes toner drums that roll through magnetized pigment, and
then transfers the pigment onto a surface.
● Dot Matrix – dot matrix printers utilize a print head to set images on a surface, using
an ink ribbon.
ACTIVITY
INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENT: Match the following output devices to their functions.
Write the letter of the correct answer.
A B C D
E F
1. this is a combination of speakers and microphone.
2. - speakers are attached to computers to facilitate the output of sound; sound cards
are required in the computer for speakers to function.
3. – this uses phosphorescent dots to generate the pixels that constitute
displayed images.
4. this type utilizes toner drums that roll through magnetized pigment, and
then transfers the pigment onto a surface.
5. – this makes use of liquid crystals or plasma to produce output. Light is passed
through the liquid crystals to generate pixels
6. It creates a visual display using which users can view processed data.
7. this generates a hard copy of a digitally depicted design
8. this is a display device that projects a computer-created image onto another surface:
usually some sort of whiteboard or wall
9. utilize a print head to set images on a surface, using an ink ribbon.
10. this device generates a hard copy version of processed data, like documents and
photographs.
REMEMBER!
A computer can still function without an output device. However, without an output
device, there is no way to determine what the computer is doing. There is no indicator of errors,
nor of the need for additional input. For example, if you detach your monitor from your
computer, the computer will still function, but it is not going to be very helpful.
INSTRUCTION: True or False. Write True if the statement is correct and False if wrong.
BRIEF INTRODUCTION:
Since the digital age arise, the keyboarding techniques and shortcut keys become a very useful
tool for the people who mostly faces their computers in their work or study sessions. The following
lesson will show you the different techniques and shortcut keys to use.
KEYBOARDING TECHNIQUES
1. Touch Typing
It is the most common and most efficient method to type. In this method, the typist looks at the
source and type continuously without looking at the keyboard and the screen. As you don't need
to look back to the keyboard, the speed automatically increases. Almost every professional typist
uses this method to type.
2. Hunt & Peck
Hunt & Peck is a typing technique where the person types each key one after another. In this
method, the user looks at the keyboard and don't look at the screen. So if the typist makes any
error, it is very difficult to find.
3. Hybrid
This technique is a mix of Touch Typing and Hunt & Peck method. In this method, the
typist memorizes the keyboard layout and focusing the result on the screen. To speed up, the
typist fixed their hand position on the keyboard and only moves their finger to type.
4. Buffering - is a play pause method of typing. Here the typist read a sentence of the content,
memorize, and then type. It is a slow process of typing so we strongly recommend not to use
this method.
5. Thumbing is the most modern typing technique. After the development of Smartphone
and tab, this new method has developed. In this method, the person uses their both thumb to
type. This typing technique is useful only on small devices.
According to a recent survey, Touch Typing is the fastest technique to type. But as the person
doesn't look at the screen it is quite possible to make an error while typing. So it is better to
memorize the keyboard layout perfectly before use touch typing method.

TOPIC 3.3: COMPUTER DESKTOP
BRIEF INTRODUCTION:
The desktop is the main screen area that you see after you turn on your computer and log on to
Windows. Like the top of an actual desk, it serves as a surface for your work. When you open programs
or folders, they appear on the desktop
The desktop is sometimes defined more broadly to include the taskbar and Windows Sidebar.
The taskbar sits at the bottom of your screen. It shows you which programs are running and
allows you to switch between them. It also contains the Start button, which you can use to access
programs, folders, and computer settings. On the side of the screen, Sidebar contains small
programs called gadgets.
When referring to an operating system or GUI (graphical user interface), the desktop is a system
of organization of icons on a screen. The Microsoft Windows desktop was first introduced
with Microsoft Windows 95 and included with every version of Windows since then. The image
below is an example of the Microsoft Windows 7 desktop.
In this example, there are no icons on the desktop, and the wallpaper is a blue screen with the
Windows 7 logo. Also, the taskbar is at the bottom of the desktop and contains the Start, taskbar
icons, Windows Notification Area, and the time and date.
What icons and items are found on the Windows desktop?
Some of the most common icons on the desktop include those for My Computer, Recycle Bin,
your Internet browser (e.g., Internet Explorer), and My Documents. On the Windows desktop,
you can find the Windows Start menu through the Start on the taskbar, as well as the Windows
Notification Area.
The date and time are also shown on the desktop, in the notification area on the taskbar. If
the date and time are incorrect, you can change the date and time from the desktop.
Working with desktop icons
Icons are small pictures that represent files, folders, programs, and other items. When you first
start Windows, you'll see at least one icon on your desktop: the Recycle Bin (more on that later).
Your computer manufacturer might have added other icons to the desktop. Some examples of
desktop icons are shown below.
● Recycle Bin – where the deleted files could be retrieved or permanently deleted.
● Internet Explorer – uses internet connectivity for the world wide web.
REMEMBE
R!
Because programs run on top of the desktop, the desktop itself is often partially or completely
hidden. But it's still there, underneath everything. To see the whole desktop without closing any
of your open programs or windows, click the Show Desktop button on the taskbar. The desktop
is revealed. Click the icon again to restore all of your windows to the way they were.
CHECK YOUR
UNDERSTANDING
INSTRUCTIONS: Draw if the statement is correct, and if it’s wrong.
3. You cannot change the time and date located on the taskbar.
4. There are many applications when you click on the start button.
5. Files can only be seen when you click on the computer icon.
BRIEF INTRODUCTION:
Software is a program that enables a computer to perform a specific task, as opposed to the
physical components of the system (hardware). This includes application software such as a word
processor, which enables a user to perform a task, and system software such as an operating system,
which enables other software to run properly, by interfacing with hardware and with other software.
An application is any program, or group of programs, that is designed for the end users.
Applications software (also called end-users programs) include such things as database
programs, word processors, web browsers and spreadsheets.
Figuratively speaking, applications sit on top of systems software because they are unable to run
without the operating system and system utilities. Systems software consists of low-level
programs that interact with the computer at a very basic level. This includes operating systems,
compilers, and utilities for managing computer resources.
Types of Computer
Software System Software
System software coordinates the activities and functions of hardware and software, and it
controls the operations of computer hardware and provides an environment or platform for all the
other types of software to work in. It is the most basic type of software in any computer system,
which is essential for other programs, applications and the whole computer system to function.
(System software examples – Microsoft Windows XP, Mac O
Application Software
Application software is what helps the user perform the tasks of his/her choice. They are non-
essential software which are installed and run, depending upon the requirements, in the
environment provided by the system software.
(Application software examples – MS Office, OpenOffice, Media Players, MS Access,
educational software, media development software, Antivirus software, etc.)

BRIEF INTRODUCTION:
File transfer is the transmission of a computer file through a communication channel from one
computer system to another. Typically, file transfer is mediated by a communications protocol. In the
history of computing, numerous file transfer protocols have been designed for different contexts.
File transfer is the movement of one or more files from one location to another. A collection of
electronically-stored files can be moved by physically moving the electronic storage medium,
such as a computer diskette, hard disk, compact disk, external hard drive and flash drive from
one place to another or by sending the files over a telecommunications medium. On the Internet,
the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a common way to transfer a single file or a relatively small
number of files from one computer to another. For larger file transfers (a single large file or a
large collection of files), file compression and aggregation into a single archive is commonly
used. (A zip file is a popular implemention.)
- Google Drive
A file storage and synchronization service developed by Google with 15 gigabytes of free
storage through Google One and allows users to store files on their servers, synchronize files
across devices, and share files. In addition to a website, Google Drive offers apps with offline
capabilities for Windows and macOS computers, and Android and iOS smartphones and
tablets.
- Dropbox
It is a file hosting service operated by the American company Dropbox, Inc., that offers cloud
storage, file synchronization, personal cloud, and client software.
- SHAREit
Is an application which is compatible with various smartphone platforms allows users to
share files between devices directly.
- Compact Disc
A compact disc is a portable storage medium that can be used to record, store and play back
audio, video and other data in digital form.
ACTIVITY
INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENT: Using your electronic gadgets (computer, laptop, tablet or
cellphone) create a screen record of file transfer using the most commonly used software and
hardware in transferring files. Save it in Flash drive USB and submit your work together with
other
worksheets of this module or send your mp4 format file on Facebook
messenger if internet
connection is available at home.
