Lesson 2: Modern Computers
When most people hear the word
computer, they think of a personal
computer such as a desktop or
laptop. However, computers come in
many shapes and sizes, and they
perform many different functions in
our daily lives. When you withdraw
cash from an ATM, scan groceries at
the store, or use a calculator, you're
using a type of computer.

What are the different types of modern computers?


1. Desktop Computer- Many people use desktop computers at work,
home, and school. Desktop computers are designed to be placed on a
desk, and they're typically made up of a few different parts, including
the computer case, monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

2. Laptop computers- The second type of computer you may be


familiar with is a laptop computer, commonly called a laptop. Laptops
are battery-powered computers that are more portable than desktops,
allowing you to use them almost anywhere.
3. Tablet computers—or tablets—are handheld computers that
are even more portable than laptops. Instead of a keyboard and
mouse, tablets use a touch-sensitive screen for typing and navigation.
The iPad is an example of a tablet.

4. Server - is a computer that serves up information to other computers


on a network. For example, whenever you use the Internet, you're
looking at something that's stored on a server. Many businesses also use
local file servers to store and share files internally.

Other types of computers


Many of today's electronics are basically specialized computers, though we
don't always think of them that way. Here are a few common examples.

Smartphones: Many cell phones can do a lot of things computers can do,
including browsing the Internet and playing games. They are often called
smartphones.
Wearable’s: Wearable technology is a general term for a group of
devices—including fitness trackers and smart watches—that are designed
to be worn throughout the day. These devices are often called wearable’s
for short.

Game consoles: A game console is a specialized type of computer that is


used for playing video games on your TV.

TVs: Many TVs now include applications—or apps—that let you access
various types of online content. For example, you can stream video from the
Internet directly onto your TV like Netflix.
