FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER Information Technology
Information Processing System DATA is a collection of independent and unorganized facts. INFORMATION is the processed and organized data presented in a meaningful form. DATA PROCESSING is the course of doing things in a sequence of steps.
Information Processing System COMPUTER is an electronic machine that follows a set of instructions in order that it may be able to accept and gather data and transform these into information.
PROCESSING SYSTEM DATA INFORMATION
Functions of an Information Processing System It accepts and gather data. (INPUT) It processes data to become information. (PROCESSING) It stores data and information. (STORE) It presents information. (OUTPUT)
Three Major Components of an Information Processing System HARDWARE is the tangible part of a computer system. SOFTWARE is the non-tangible part that tells the computer how to do its job. PEOPLEWARE refer to people who use and operate the computer system, write computer programs, and analyze and design the information system.
Computer Sizes MAINFRAME are large general purpose computers. MINICOMPUTER perform multi-tasking and allow many terminals to be connected to their services. MICROCOMPUTER (Personal Computer) is most widely used especially at home because of its affordable price and manageability.
MAINFRAME COMPUTERS MINICOMPUTERS MICROCOMPUTERS/PERSONAL COMPUTERS
Basic Units of Measurement BIT is a unit of information equivalent to the result of a choice between only 2 possible alternatives in the binary number system. BYTE is a sequence of 8 bits (enough to represent one character of alphanumeric data) processed as a single unit for information.
Basic Units of Measurement A byte can be used to represent a single character, which can be: A letter A number A special character or symbol, or A space
 
Basic Units of Measurement 1,000 bytes =1 kilobyte (K or KB)  1,000 KB =1 megabyte (MB)  1,000 MB =1 gigabyte (GB)  1,000 GB =1 Terabyte (TB)
BASIC PC HARDWARE HARDWARE is the tangible part of a computer system.
 
Basic hardware of a PC system Central Processing Unit (CPU) Memory Unit Input Devices Output Devices Secondary Storage Devices
1.  Central Processing Unit Brain of the computer. It directs and controls the entire computer system and performs all arithmetic and logical operations.
2.  Memory Unit Where the programs and data are stored .  READ ONLY MEMORY (ROM) contains the pre-programmed computer instructions such as the Basic Input Output System (BIOS). RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM) is used to store the programs and data that you will run.  Exists only when there is power.
 
3.  Input Devices Allows data and programs to be sent to the CPU.  Keyboard Mouse Joystick Microphone Webcam Scanner Monitor
Keyboard Traditional keyboards Flexible keyboards Ergonomic keyboards Wireless keyboards PDA keyboards
Two Types of Mouse Mechanical  - a type of computer mouse that has a rubber or metal ball on its underside and it can roll in every direction.   Optical:   This type uses a laser for detecting the mouse's movement. 
How a Mouse Hooks Up to a PC PS/2 Mouse  Serial Mouse USB/Cordless Mouse
Other Pointing Devices Trackball Track point Touch pad Touch Screen
Joystick – input device for computer games Light Pens – light-sensitive penlike device Stylus – penlike device commonly used with tablet PCs and PDAs.
Scanning Devices Optical scanners Card readers Bar code readers Character and mark recognition devices
Image Capturing Devices Digital Cameras Digital Video Cameras
4.  Output Devices Media used by the computer in displaying its responses to our requests and instructions. Monitor Audio Speakers Printer
Types of Monitor Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
Printers IMPACT PRINTERS uses pressure by physically striking the paper. Ex. Daisy wheel printers, line printers, dot matrix printers & band printers. NON-IMPACT PRINTER does not apply pressure on the paper but instead produces character by using lasers, ink spray, photography or heat.
Dot matrix printer Inkjet printer Laser printer
5.  Secondary Storage Devices Attached to the computer system to allow you to store programs and data permanently for the purpose of retrieving them for future use. Floppy disk, Hard disk, CD Rom
Floppy Disk The most common secondary storage device 3.5” disk – 1.44MB
High-Capacity Floppy Disks  Floppy disk cartridges 3 ½ inches in diameter Stores more information Zip disks
Hard Disk Drive or Hard Disk  Made of rigid materials unlike floppy disks Holds a greater amount of data 10MB in 1980s 600MB in mid 1990s 4.3GB in 1999 180GB in 2001 400GB - 2004
Optical Discs  A standard part of modern desktop machines, especially used for multimedia purposes and preferred in loading applications.
Kinds Blue Ray Disk – 40G Digital Versatile Disk  DVD-R – write once, 3.95G DVD RW – rewritable, 3G Single Layer and Double Layer Compact Disk CD-R – write once, 650MB CD-RW – rewritable, 700MB
Optical Drives CD-ROM read CDs CD-Writer read/write CDs DVD-Combo read/write CDs, read DVD DVD Writer   read/write CDs read/write DVDs
Other Secondary Storage Solid-State Storage No moving parts Flash memory cards USB flash drives
Parts that Build Up A System Unit Casing or cover Power Supply Motherboard Microprocessor  Memory Video Card Sound card Floppy disk drive Hard disk drive CD-ROM drive MODEM
Casing or cover The box or outer shell that houses most of the computer, it is usually one of the most overlooked parts of the PC. Protects the computer circuits, cooling and system organization.
Power Supply Responsible for powering every device in your computer. Parts of a Power supply: Disk drive connectors Motherboard connector Power supply fan Power switch Input voltage selector Cover Power plugs receptacle
Motherboard  The physical arrangement in a computer that contains the computer’s basic circuitry and components. Components are: Microprocessor (Optional) Coprocessors Memory Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) Expansion Slot Interconnecting circuitry
 
Expansion Slots Graphic cards Sound cards Modem cards Network interface cards/network adapter
Ports Serial ports – mouse, keyboard, modem Parallel ports – printers Universal serial bus (USB) – replacing serial and parallel Firewire ports – faster than USB
 
Software Instructions that tell the computer how to process data into the form you want. Software and programs are interchangeable. Two major types: System and Applications
2 Kinds of Software 1.  System Software enables the application software to interact with the computer hardware. Operating Systems are programs that coordinate computer resources, provide an interface between users and the computer; and run applications. Utilities perform specific tasks related to managing computer resources. Device drivers are specialized programs designed to allow particular input or output devices to communicate with the rest of the computer system.
Functions of a System Software Managing resources (memory, processing, storage, and devices like printer). Providing user interface Running applications
2 Kinds of Software Applications Software - provides the real functionality of a computer.  It help you use your computer to do specific types of work. Basic Applications, widely used in all career areas.  Specialized Applications, more    narrowly focused on specific    disciplines and occupations.
DOS and GUI Operating System
Disk Operating System DOS was the first widely installed operating system for personal computers. Command-driven
MS-DOS Commands A COMMAND is the name of a special program that makes your computer carry out a task.
Graphical User Interface (GUI) Thru GUI, users can interact directly with the operating system. Microsoft Windows Icons, Menus, Dialog boxes
 
FILES FILE is simply a collection of information that you store on a disk or diskette. Must have a unique name Two parts: the filename and extension separated by a period. RECIPE.DOC
EXTENSIONS Use extension to make your filenames more descriptive. .DOC – word documents .XLS – excel documents .PPT – powerpoint documents
DIRECTORIES One way of organizing the files on your computer Hard Disk ROOT – one basic directory Subdirectories

Fundamentals Of Computer

  • 1. FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER Information Technology
  • 2. Information Processing System DATA is a collection of independent and unorganized facts. INFORMATION is the processed and organized data presented in a meaningful form. DATA PROCESSING is the course of doing things in a sequence of steps.
  • 3. Information Processing System COMPUTER is an electronic machine that follows a set of instructions in order that it may be able to accept and gather data and transform these into information.
  • 5. Functions of an Information Processing System It accepts and gather data. (INPUT) It processes data to become information. (PROCESSING) It stores data and information. (STORE) It presents information. (OUTPUT)
  • 6. Three Major Components of an Information Processing System HARDWARE is the tangible part of a computer system. SOFTWARE is the non-tangible part that tells the computer how to do its job. PEOPLEWARE refer to people who use and operate the computer system, write computer programs, and analyze and design the information system.
  • 7. Computer Sizes MAINFRAME are large general purpose computers. MINICOMPUTER perform multi-tasking and allow many terminals to be connected to their services. MICROCOMPUTER (Personal Computer) is most widely used especially at home because of its affordable price and manageability.
  • 8. MAINFRAME COMPUTERS MINICOMPUTERS MICROCOMPUTERS/PERSONAL COMPUTERS
  • 9. Basic Units of Measurement BIT is a unit of information equivalent to the result of a choice between only 2 possible alternatives in the binary number system. BYTE is a sequence of 8 bits (enough to represent one character of alphanumeric data) processed as a single unit for information.
  • 10. Basic Units of Measurement A byte can be used to represent a single character, which can be: A letter A number A special character or symbol, or A space
  • 11.  
  • 12. Basic Units of Measurement 1,000 bytes =1 kilobyte (K or KB) 1,000 KB =1 megabyte (MB) 1,000 MB =1 gigabyte (GB) 1,000 GB =1 Terabyte (TB)
  • 13. BASIC PC HARDWARE HARDWARE is the tangible part of a computer system.
  • 14.  
  • 15. Basic hardware of a PC system Central Processing Unit (CPU) Memory Unit Input Devices Output Devices Secondary Storage Devices
  • 16. 1. Central Processing Unit Brain of the computer. It directs and controls the entire computer system and performs all arithmetic and logical operations.
  • 17. 2. Memory Unit Where the programs and data are stored . READ ONLY MEMORY (ROM) contains the pre-programmed computer instructions such as the Basic Input Output System (BIOS). RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM) is used to store the programs and data that you will run. Exists only when there is power.
  • 18.  
  • 19. 3. Input Devices Allows data and programs to be sent to the CPU. Keyboard Mouse Joystick Microphone Webcam Scanner Monitor
  • 20. Keyboard Traditional keyboards Flexible keyboards Ergonomic keyboards Wireless keyboards PDA keyboards
  • 21. Two Types of Mouse Mechanical  - a type of computer mouse that has a rubber or metal ball on its underside and it can roll in every direction.  Optical:   This type uses a laser for detecting the mouse's movement. 
  • 22. How a Mouse Hooks Up to a PC PS/2 Mouse Serial Mouse USB/Cordless Mouse
  • 23. Other Pointing Devices Trackball Track point Touch pad Touch Screen
  • 24. Joystick – input device for computer games Light Pens – light-sensitive penlike device Stylus – penlike device commonly used with tablet PCs and PDAs.
  • 25. Scanning Devices Optical scanners Card readers Bar code readers Character and mark recognition devices
  • 26. Image Capturing Devices Digital Cameras Digital Video Cameras
  • 27. 4. Output Devices Media used by the computer in displaying its responses to our requests and instructions. Monitor Audio Speakers Printer
  • 28. Types of Monitor Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
  • 29. Printers IMPACT PRINTERS uses pressure by physically striking the paper. Ex. Daisy wheel printers, line printers, dot matrix printers & band printers. NON-IMPACT PRINTER does not apply pressure on the paper but instead produces character by using lasers, ink spray, photography or heat.
  • 30. Dot matrix printer Inkjet printer Laser printer
  • 31. 5. Secondary Storage Devices Attached to the computer system to allow you to store programs and data permanently for the purpose of retrieving them for future use. Floppy disk, Hard disk, CD Rom
  • 32. Floppy Disk The most common secondary storage device 3.5” disk – 1.44MB
  • 33. High-Capacity Floppy Disks Floppy disk cartridges 3 ½ inches in diameter Stores more information Zip disks
  • 34. Hard Disk Drive or Hard Disk Made of rigid materials unlike floppy disks Holds a greater amount of data 10MB in 1980s 600MB in mid 1990s 4.3GB in 1999 180GB in 2001 400GB - 2004
