Discussion

1. How the computers have evolved dramatically within a very short span, from very huge
machines of the past, to very compact designs of the present with tremendous advances in
technology.

- Computers have evolved and advanced significantly over the decades

since they originated. Computers have become smaller and faster,
enabling people to use them virtually anywhere. New computer
technology has enabled more advanced business tasks as well.
-

2. What are the effects of these computer development to human? Site advantages and
disadvantages in using computers.

- A Computer is an machine that can solve difficult and different

problems, process data, store & retrieve data and perform calculations
faster and accurately as compared from humans. The literal meaning of
computer may be a device which will calculate. However, modern
computers can do tons quite calculate.
Advantages of Computer:

Multitasking Multitasking – Multitasking Multitasking is one among the

main advantage of computer. Person can do multiple task, multiple
operation at a same time, calculate numerical problems within few seconds.
Computer can perform millions or trillions of work in one second.

Speed – Now computer isn’t just a calculating device. Now a day’s computer
has vital role in human life. One of the most advantages of computer is its
incredible speed, which helps human to finish their task in few seconds.

Cost/ Stores huge – Amount of knowledge - Person can save huge data
within a coffee budget. Centralized database of storing information is that
the major advantage which will reduce cost.

Accuracy – One among the basis advantage of computer is which will

perform not only calculations but also with accuracy.

Data Security – Protecting digital data is understood as data security.

Task completer – Complete tasks that might be impossible for humans to

complete.
Communication – Computer helps the user in better understanding and
communication with the other devices.

Storage – The pc has an in-built memory where it can store an outsized

amount of knowledge. You can also store data in auxiliary storage devices.

Disadvantages of Computer:

Virus and hacking attacks – Virus may be a worm and hacking is just an
unauthorized access over computer for a few illicit purposes. Virus can go to
other system from email attachment, viewing an infected website
advertisement, through removable device like USB etc.

Online Cyber Crimes – Online cyber-crime means computer and network

may have utilized in order to commit crime. Cyber stalking and fraud are the
points which comes under online cyber-crimes.

Reduction employed opportunity – Mainly past generation wasn’t used of

the pc or they need the knowledge of computer they faced an enormous
problem when computer came in field.

High cost – Computers are expensive. Even the foremost affordable

computers are still very expensive for the typical person in South Africa.
Since computers empower people.

Distractions/disruptions – If you’ve got ever spent hours browsing the

web or watching videos on YouTube, then you recognize how distracting
computers can be.
 Increases waste and impacts the environment – With the speed that
computers and other electronics get replaced, all of the old devices that get
thrown away have a big impact on the environment.

Health Problems – Prolonged use of computers can lead to various health

Hazards. Too much sitting near the screen results in eye strain and drying up
of the eyes. Also, prolonged sitting leads to neck and back problems.

Discussion:

1. What is “boot” process? How it works? Explain briefly.

- In computing, booting is the process of starting a computer as initiated

via hardware such as a button or by a software command. After it is
switched on, a computer's central processing unit (CPU) has no
software in its main memory, so some process must load software into
memory before it can be executed.
