 WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

The competency for this module is the following:

Lesson 1: Performing Computer Operations:

LO 1. Input data into computer

accordance with company procedures.
2. Check the accuracy of information and save the information in
accordance with standard operating procedures.
3. Store inputted data is in storage media according to requirements.
4. Perform work within ergonomic guidelines.

TYPES OF PROGRAM / APPLICATION SOFTWARE

Objectives:
1. Define a program or software.
2. Identify the three categories of software.
3. Give examples of program/software.

WHAT IS IT

TYPES OF PROGRAM / APPLICATION SOFTWARE

The computer functions are not dependent on its hardware alone. It requires a set of
instruction that tells the computer what to be done with the input data. In computer terminology, this
set of instruction is called a program and one or more programs are termed as software.

SOFTWARE – is a set of instructions that tell the computer what to do. Computer is useless
without any software installed in it.

THREE CATEGORIES OF SOFTWARE

1. SYSTEM SOFTWARE – System software is the software that controls application processing
and hardware resources of the computer system such as memory, disk space, and peripheral
devices.
Ex. Operating system

The Operating system is a collection of programs that perform a variety of tasks or

functions. The tasks performed by the operating system (OS) involve communicating with
the disk drives, printers, hard disks, CD/DVD ROMS, monitor, modem and other
peripheral devices.

2. APPLICATION SOFTWARE – Application software is a program that is created to assist

users with a specific task. Programs to perform word processing, manipulate spreadsheets,
manage database, and communicate with other computers are some of the popular
applications.
Ex. Word Processing
The Word processing technology today make it possible to enjoy typing effectively.
The typist will no longer suffer the agony of retyping the text to produce clean and a neat
draft. Through the use of word processing software such as the Microsoft Word and
Word Perfect, a user (typist) can concentrate on thinking about the ideas and let the
computer handle the details of laying out the words and spacing neatly on the page.

 Category Examples

Word processor Word, WordStar, Word Perfect

Spreadsheet Microsoft Excel, Lotus 123, Quattro

Database Management System Oracle, FoxPro, SQL, Database Access

Graphics Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw

Games Counter Strike, WarCraft, Chess Master

Educational Mine Craft

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES – It is the representation of instructions in human recognizable

form.

WEB BROWSERS
• A browser is an application that enables users with an Internet connection to access and
view webpages on a computer or mobile device
– Internet-capable mobile devices such as smartphones use a special type of browser,
called a mobile browser

THE WORLD WIDE WEB

• The World Wide Web (WWW), or web, consists of a worldwide collection of electronic
documents (webpages)
• A website is a collection of related webpages and associated items
• A web server is a computer that delivers requested webpages to your computer or mobile
device
• HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a set of symbols that developers use to specify the
headings, paragraphs, images, links, and other content elements that a webpage contains
• A web app is an application stored on a web server that you access through a browser
– Web apps usually store users’ data and information on their hosts’ servers

Web and mobile apps often work together, enabling you to access your content from a
variety of computers and devices

THE INTERNET

The Internet is a worldwide collection of networks that connects millions of businesses,

government agencies, educational institutions, and individuals
• The Internet originated as ARPANET in September 1969 and had two main goals:
– Allow scientists at different physical locations to share information and work together
– Function even if part of the network were disabled or destroyed by a disaster
