The term "computer" is usually used to refer to a digital computer, and business computers

are all digital. A computer is a programmable device that, once programmed, can perform a
series of calculations or other operations on data automatically. Internal instructions can be
used to store, retrieve, and process data. A computer can be digital, analog, or hybrid, but
most computers in use today are digital. The variables in digital computers are expressed as
numbers, usually in the binary system. They're used for a wide range of tasks, whereas
analog computers are designed for specific tasks, usually scientific or technical.

Elements
Core-it is the computing part of a computer’s central processing unit or processor.
Arithmetic logic unit- it is used to carry out the calculations
Main memory-store data for future processing
Control unit-control the transformation of data between the different part of a computer
(memory, input, output, arithmetic logic unit)

A computer is not entirely functional without different peripheral devices. But they are
typically connected to a computer through cables, although some may be built into the
same unit with central processing unit. These involve different devices for the input of data,
for example keyboards, scanners, trackballs, light pens, microphones, and items for the
output of data, such as, speakers, printers, earphones, monitors etc.

In order for a digital computer to function properly, it requires programing or computer-

readable coding. To be differed from the physical or hardware components of a computer,
programs generally refer to as software’s.

Computers are often categorized by size and power. Power and speed are affected by the
size of a computer’s internal storage units-words, it determines the amount of data it is
capable of processing at once and is calculated or measured in bits.

Software- Software is a set of instructions for a computer. The entire set of programs,
procedures, and routines associated with the operation of a computer system is referred to
as software.

Hardware-it refers to the physical touchable part of a computer, it’s usually it’s equipment
or device, they often provide support of major functions such as input, processing, output,
storage and communication.

Input devices-they are devices that’s used for giving instructions and entering data to the
central processing unit.

The input devices help users to enter data and commands into the computer system. The
data that is entered in could be in various forms, such as numbers, words, actions,
commands and etc. The main function of the input devices is to instruct commands and data
to the computer directly. The system will then use their central process center to process
this data and output it.
A computer's main input device is the keyboard. It has three different types of keys:
alphanumeric, special, and function keys. All alphabets, numbers, and special symbols such
as $, percent, @, and A are typed using alphanumeric keys. Special keys such as,,,,,,,
Depending on the software, function keys such as,,, and so on are used to issue special
commands. F5 in an internet browser reloads a page. Only after working on a computer can
you fully comprehend the function of each and every key. An electronic signal is generated
when any key is pressed. A keyboard encoder detects this signal and sends a binary code
corresponding to the key pressed to the computer.

Central processing Unit

After receiving the instructions from the users/input system, the computer will now process
it according to the commands the users have provided. The CPU further uses these three
elements

Memory unit-this is where the computer system stores the data. The data that has been
stored in the memory unit will now be remained in here until other components of the
processing unit is ready to process it. The memory unit uses a set of pre-programmed
instructions to transmit the stored data to the other parts of the CPU.

Arithmetic and logic unit-It does basic mathematical calculations after the input information
have been transformed into computer language. It could also perform logical functions such
as the comparison data.

Control unit- This unit is responsible for coordinating tasks between all of the different
components of the system. It collects data that have been received from the input unit and
transfers it to the processing unit. It also further transmits processed data to the output
units in order to present it to the user.

Also no because

Exposing to computer radiation for a long time could cause cancer, tumors, miscarriage and
birth defects, headaches and insomnia. The FDA requires that a computer and TV monitors
meet a radiation limit. However, they still have the potential to harm humans.

Computers contain heavy metals like lead and toxic chemicals that could pollute the soil and
contaminate water when they are dumped into landfills, which is where they usually are,
and when people expose to it, they will be poisoned.

Social media and technology devices may lead to psychological and physical issues, such as
eyestrain and difficulty to focus for a long time. They may also cause more serious health
conditions, such as depression. And it has negatively affected teenagers time management
and caused a lot of unhealthy behaviors.

HIV has been transformed from a death sentence to a manageable disease in just thirty
years. According to the most recent data, venture capital firms poured $11 billion into
healthcare companies in 2014, a 30 percent jump over the previous year. These funds are
being used to develop supercomputers that crunch mountains of data to offer better
diagnosis and treatment, and to better understand our genetic building blocks and how to
use them to fight off disease. To put our progress in perspective, a full human genome
sequence cost $100 million in 2002. Today, it can be done for $1,000; by 2020 it may cost
less than a cup of coffee. Technology can be a double-edged sword, but at least when it
comes to our health (if not necessarily our medical professionals), it has largely been a force
for good.

One aspect of technology that has had a great impact on society is how it affects learning.
It’s made learning more interactive and collaborative, this helps people better engage with
the material that they are learning and have trouble with. Also, it gets you better access to
resources. With the creation of the internet, it gives us access to information at a twenty-
four-hour rate and you have access to almost anything online. In addition, it allows students
to get work done easier. Students can take quizzes and exams more easily, and teachers
being able to hold online classes can be very effective. It also expands the boundaries of the
classroom, encouraging self-paced learning. People can access learning through YouTube
and social media. This helps students learn better than sitting down for lectures and reading
from textbooks. These technological advancements made learning more fun and
convenient.

Another way technology has impacted society is through communication, how we talk and
communicate with one another worldwide. Technology brought many new methods of
electronic communication. For example, there are emails, social networking, you can
facetime a person that lives on the other side of the world, and here’s video conferencing
where you can have conferences electronically. Lastly, the technological advancements that
were made within the health industry have helped keep people safe and healthy. There are
many innovate apps on phones that although people to watch their weight, how many
calories they intake, heart rate and other health properties any time of the day. There’s
increased accessibility of treatment available, there’s the change in healthcare that adds
benefits for the elderly, and hospitals using advanced technology within their surgical
rooms.

While it is still possible to walk to most places on earth, the advent of trains, buses, cars,
airplanes, speed boats, etc. has made it feasible for people to travel to and from their
required destination in much less time. Adding to that are ridesharing apps, such as Uber
and Grab, which have made it incredibly easy to get to a destination very quickly and
inexpensively. The backbone of any society is its infrastructure, which includes both
telecommunication and transportation systems, so the evolution of both systems has
greatly helped to shape the modern world.

One of the most troubling issues associated with the increasing use of technologies is the
depletion of natural resources, whether that be rare earth elements/minerals, food sources,
or fossil fuels. As noted by Karehka Ramey (2012), the use of corn to produce fuel in the
form of ethanol, for instance, can greatly reduce corn/food supplies globally. Additionally,
the world’s hunger for more and more electronics can greatly or completely deplete the
world’s resources of gold, coltan, and other rare minerals, while helping to fuel conflicts
around the world where those “blood minerals” are found and often fought over.

If the modern lifestyle could be characterized in a single word, it would have to be

“convenience.” From shopping online from one’s couch and having goods delivered next-
day to the appropriate doorstep, to joining friends for a meetup via a social app without
having to leave the house, to booking a flight and hotel across the world for travel the next
day, tablet computers, wearable computer systems (I.e. smart watches), and smartphones
allow people to perform tasks in a moment, on robust apps via the Internet, that previously
would have required going in person. Essentially, technology has helped people to carry out
complex tasks in a simpler, quicker manner.

The younger generations have typically been most impacted by the rise of technology.
While the older generation might have grown up using technology for certain, critical tasks
such as email, millennials and generation Z typically use technology for virtually every task,
and are often overexposed to EMFs and blue light. This includes using tablets in school,
using web gateways to complete homework, and using YouTube to learn a language, for
instance, which is a stark contrast to how the previous generation learned. Due to an
increasing reliance on technology, the younger generation is more prone to care less about
privacy issues associated with technology. At the same time, the younger generations are
more likely to have a better understanding of how the Internet and technical systems work,
which could fill in the massive gap associated with industries needing technical personnel.
