“SECTION-B” (SUBJECTIVE)
Question No : 02 Attempt the following short questions.

I. How Computer is used in the field of Media?

Media Computers have lot of applications in print and electronic media.
Print media refers to mass communication through printed material. Computer technology helps in preparation
and production of newspapers, magazines, booklets and brochures, flyers, press releases and books.
Electronic media refers to broadcast media that includes radio broadcast, cable and satellite television broadcast
and the new-age media like Internet and mobile devices. Computer is used for television broadcasting
II. Briefly explain CAD and CAM.
Manufacturing Now days, computer technology is widely used in manufacturing industry.
It has improved the accuracy, quality and speed of manufacturing. Computers are used for product design and
automation of manufacturing process in factories. This is known as Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and
Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM).
CAD involves the use of computer hardware and graphics software to create product designs.
CAM involves the use of computer in planning and management of production operation. It helps in
automatically producing finished products. CAD/CAM technology has been applied in many industries, including
automobile, electronics, machine components, textiles, fashion, etc
III. What is the use of computers in the Defense field?
Defense: There are various applications of computer technology in defense. Computers are used in tanks, planes
and ships to target enemy forces. They help in tracking missiles and destroying them. Modern defense weapons
and other equipment are controlled by computers. Computers are used for designing and testing of weapons.
Computers are also used in communication systems in defense.
IV. What are the Four areas of business where computers are used?
The following are some important business areas where computers are used.
• Computer technology has revolutionized the banking business. Deposits and withdrawals are instantly logged
into a customer’s account. Accurate monthly bank statements are generated with the help of computer.
Computer networks allow amount of bill to be transferred from customer’s bank account to the store. People
can obtain cash any time anywhere through Automated Teller Machine (ATM).
• Computers are used in retail stores. Bar code readers are linked to computer system that are used to read the
bar code printed on each product sold to prepare the bill. With the use of computers at retail stores, the
checkout process is faster and the bill produced is accurate.
• Electronic commerce, also known as e-commerce allows to sell products and services by means of computer
networks such as Internet.
 • Computers are very helpful in running many other types of businesses that include hotel, hospital, school,
travel agency, real estate, stock exchange, etc.
