LESSON 1:
CONCEPTS IN MODERN COMPUTER
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
11. be familiarized with the modern concepts in computer;
12. outline important dates in the history of the developing computer; and
13. paraphrase the steps in data processing

Lesson Proper:

What is computer
- a computer is an electronic device that transforms data. It can d arithmetic calculations faster. It can be
compared to a magic box, which serves different purpose to different people. Computer can be defined
in terms of its functions.

Features of a Computer

1. Speed
2. Accuracy
3. Versatility
4. Storage

THE GENERATIONS OF COMPUTER

FIRST

First generation computers used Thermion valves. These computers were large in size
and writing programs on them were difficult. The following are the major drawbacks of
first generation computers.
1. The operating speed was quite slow.
2. Power consumption was very high.
3. It required large space for installation.
4. The programming capability was quite low.
SECOND

Around 1955, a device called Transistor replaced the bulky electric tubes in
the first generation computer. Transistors are smaller than the electric tubes
and have higher operating speed. They have no filament and no heating.
Manufacturing cost was also very low. Thus, the size of the computer was
reduced considerably.
It is in the second generation that the concept of Central Processing Unit
(CPU), memory, programming language and input and output units were
developed.

THIRD
In 1964, the third generation computers were introduced. They used
Integrated Circuits (ICs). These ICs are popularly known as CHIPS.
A single IC has many transistors, registers and capacitors built on a
single thin slice of silicon. Computers in this generations were small
in size and low cost, with large memory and high processing speed.

FOURTH
The present day computers that you see today are the fourth
generation computers that started around 1975. They used Large
Scales integrated Circuit (LSIC) built on a single silicon chip
called microprocessors. Due to the development of
microprocessor, it is possible to place computer’s central processing
unit (CPU) on a single chip. These computers are called
microcomputers. Later, Very large Scale Integrated Circuits
(VLSIC) replaced LSICs. Thus, the computer can now be placed on
a table. The personal computer (PC) that you see in your school is a
Fourth Generation Computer.

FIFTH

The computers of 1990s are said to be Fifth Generation

computers. The speed is extremely high. Apart from this, it can
perform parallel processing. The concept of Artificial
intelligence (AI) has been introduced to allow the computer to
carry out its own decision. It is still in a developmental stage.
 THE DATA PROCESSING CYCLE

Input

Output Storage

Process

Data Processing Cycle is the process of changing data into a more useful form. The sequence of events in
processing information includes (1) input, (2) storage, (3) process, and (4) output.
Input – data are entered in the computer through the keyboard or mouse.
Storage – information can be stored on disks for future use.
Process – inside the CPU, mathematical or logical operation will be performed on the data.
Output – the result is displayed on the monitor and can be printed on paper.

Hardware refers to physical, electrical, mechanical and electromechanical components of a computer. The
Input unit is one through which the computer receives information and send the processed output onto the
output device.
Input Devices
- These are the peripherals in the computer that are used in feeding the computer with data and
instruction.

Output Devices
- These are peripherals in the computer that are used in producing results of computer operations into
understandable product or result

Hard Copy
- The data consisting of text or graphics that are obtained as print outs or microfilm using printers or
plotters.
Soft Copy
- The data that are stored in a storage device such as USB flash disk, hard disk, CD-ROM magnetic tape
and so on.

Processing Devices
- They are responsible for the execution of the programs and control of their overall operation.

Storage Devices
- These are the physical equipment that can be an input or output device at the same time.

Software is the set of instruction that tells the computer what to do. Another term that can be
used is Program. Software is an important component because without this, the computer cannot operate.
System Software
- These are the backbone of all software. Example of these are Operating System, Utility Software, and
Driver Software

Application Software
- These are the programs with specific function or use. Example of these are Microsoft Office Family,
Photo Editing Tools, Games and etc…
Examples: Games, Internet Browser, Movie Player, Microsoft office

Peopleware - someone who uses the computer.

INTERNET AND THE WORLD WIDE WEB

What is Internet?
It is a huge network of several different interlinked networks relating to the business, government,
academic, and even smaller domestic networks

TYPES OF CONNECTIONS
1. DIAL – UP – this method of connecting to the internet is the oldest and slowest method. It is also the
most readily available in all places which uses phone service.
 2. DSL – this method of connection is faster than dial – up. Your PC is connected to a separate DSL
modem which it turn is connected to your phone line. This type of connection allows the computer to be
on the internet while someone is able to use the phone at the same time.
3. CABLE – this method of connection is also faster than dial – up. This time, your PC is connected to a
cable modem which is then connected through your cable TV lines at your house.
4. FiOs (Fiber Optic) – this method of connection is the fastest available to most home users. Fiber optics
internet connections work in the same way as DSL or Cable connections do, exxept that a fiber optic
line is run from the telephone pole directly to your location.

TYPES OF NETWORKS
1. LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
In common name it is called “LAN”, On a LAN, we expect to share files, programs, or printers, all
without being particularly aware of where the physical resources we’re using are actually located.

2. METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN)

A network spanning a physical area larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN. A MAN connection is
typically owned and operated by a single entity such as government body or large corporation.
3. WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)
WAN for short, spans a large physical distance. The internet is the largest WAN spanning the Earth. A
MAN is a geographically – dispersed collection of LANs. A network device called a router connects
LANs to a WAN.
4. WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN)
A LAN based on WIFI (Wireless Fidelity) wireless network technology refers to any system that uses
the 802.11 standard, which was developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) and released in 1997.

INTERNET HISTORY
The conceptual foundations for creation of the Internet were thought and formulated by three individuals
and a research conference, each of which changed the way we thought about technology by accurately
predicting its future:
1. VANNEVAR BUSH: wrote the first visionary description of the potential uses for information
technology with his description of the “memex” automated library. MEMory EXTender. A MEMEX is
a device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is
mechanizes so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility.
2. NORBERT WIENER – invented the filed of Cybernatics, inspiring future researchers to focus on the
use of technology to extend the human capabilities.
3. MARSHALL McLUHAN: made the idea of a global village interconnected by an electronic nervous
system that is a part of our popular culture.
THE WORLD WIDE WEB
The internet is the network of the several different computers which are connected through the linkage
of the accessories like the copper wires, the fiber optics and even the latest wireless connections. In addition,
the World Wide Web consists of the interlinked collection of the information and documents which are taken as
the resource by the general public. It was invented by TIM BERNERS – LEE.

sketch, drawing, or painting. It’s an easy way to enhance your images without using additional photo – editing
programs.

Picture Corrections
You can now transform your images into compelling, and vibrant visuals by fine – tuning the color
intensity (saturation) and color tone (temperature) of a picture. You can also adjust brightness, contrast,
sharpness, and blurriness or you can recolor the picture to better match your document content and to make
your work pop.

Automatic Background Removal of Pictures

Another advance picture editing option in Word 2010 is the ability to automatically remove unwanted
portions of a picture, such as background to highlight the subject of the picture or to remove distracting detail.

interface to the way that you want it. You can create custom tabs and custom groups that contain the commands
you use most frequently.

THE MICROSOT OFFICE BACKSTAGE VIEW

 The Backstage view is where you manage your files – creating, saving, inspecting for hidden metadata
or personal information and setting options.

Recover unsaved work

It is now easier to recover a Word document if you close your file without saving, of if you want to
review or return to an earlier version of the file you’re already working in.

Point to text to see translation

When you turn on the Mini Translator, you can point to a word or selected phrase with your mouse and
see a translation in a small window.

Simplified Language Preference Setting

Multilingual users can easily access a single dialog box where you can set the editing, display,
ScreenTip, and Help Languages.

Work better together

Word 2010 helps you to work with your colleagues more efficiently.

Work on the same document at the same time

In Word 2010, you can work together right within Word. You do not have to send with e – mail
attachments or save drafts documents with names such as TSP_final_2_FINAL.docx. instead, just open your
document, and start to work.

Stay safer with Protected View

In Protected View, files are opened with editing functions disabled.

Help Prevent Changes to Final Version of a Document

When a document is marked as final, typing editing commands, and proofing marks are disabled, and
people who view the document cannot unintentionally change the document.
