In engaging yourself in any activity on your computer you should know first the
different kind and appropriate tools in fixing or doing something on it. In computer
application, the usage of proper hand tools and equipment is very essential. The following
hand tools are usually being prepared and used especially in fixing or troubleshooting a
computer equipment or devices.

 Unsafe or Faulty Tools
Different Hand Tools has a variety of non-powered devices such as pliers, hammers,
and screwdrivers. These tools may seem harmless, but using unsafe or faulty tools may
cause of many injuries especially in the beginners.
The two most common hazards associated with the use of Hand Tools are misuse
and improper maintenance.
• Misuse occurs when a hand tool is used for something other than its intended
purpose. (An example would be using screwdriver as a chisel. This may cause
the tip to break and strike someone).
• Improper maintenance allows hand tools to deteriorate into an unsafe condition.
(Example would include cracked wooden handles that allow the tool head to fly
off or mushroomed heads that can shatter upon impact.
• Specially designed tools may be needed in hazardous environments. (Always
use non-sparking tools in the presence of flammable vapors and dusts. Insulated
tools with appropriate ratings must be used for electrical work).

The following are some of the best practices in using safe tools:
Pliers:

• Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle. Such abuse is likely to result in
cracks or breaks.
• Cut hardened wire only with pliers designed for that purpose.
• Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage. Use a larger
pair of pliers or bolt cutters.
• Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning bolts and nuts. Pliers cannot
grip these items properly and will slip.

Screwdrivers:

• Always use screwdriver tip that properly fits the slot of the screw.
• Keep away screwdrivers with broken or worn handles.
• Use magnetic or screw-holding screwdrivers to start fasteners in tight areas.
• Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra leverage. Only use wrench or
screwdrivers specifically designed to accept them.

Utility Knives/ Blades:

• Always use a sharp blade. Dull blades require more force and thus are more
likely to slip. Replace the blade when it starts to “tear” instead of cut.
• Never leave a knife unattended with the blade exposed. Consider using a self-
retracted knife with a spring-loaded black.
• Keep your free hand away from the line of the cut.
• Don’t bend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open cans or pay loose
objects. Blades are brittle and can snap easily.

Different Types of Computers

Based on the operational principle of computers, they are categorized as analog,
digital and hybrid computers.
Types Description
1. Analog Computers These are almost extinct today. These are different from a
digital computer because an analog computer can perform
several mathematical operations simultaneously. It uses
continuous variables for mathematical operations and
utilizes mechanical or electrical energy.

2. Digital Computers They use digital circuits and are designed to operate on
two states, namely bits 0 and 1. They are analogous to
states ON and OFF. Data on these computers is
represented as a series of 0s and 1s. Digital computers
are suitable for complex computation and have higher
processing speeds.
3. Hybrid Computers These computers are a combination of both digital and
analog computers. In this type of computers, the digital
segments perform process control by conversion of analog
signals to digital ones.

Classification of Computers
The following are the classification of the different types of computers based on their sizes
and functionalities:
Classifications Sizes and Functionalities
1. Mainframe Computers Large organizations use mainframes for highly critical
applications such as bulk data processing and ERP. Most of
the mainframe computers have the capacities to host multiple
operating systems and operate as a number of virtual
machines and can substitute for several small servers.

1. Minicomputers
In terms of size and processing capacity, minicomputers lie in
between mainframes and microcomputers. Minicomputers are
also called mid-range systems or workstations. The term
began to be popularly used in the 1960s to refer to relatively
smaller third generation computers.

2. Servers They are computers designed to provide services to client

machines in a computer network. They have larger storage
capacities and powerful processors. Running on them are
programs that serve client requests and allocate resources like
memory and time to client machines. Usually they are very
large in size, as they have large processors and many hard
drives.
3. Supercomputers The highly calculation-intensive tasks can be effectively
performed by means of supercomputers. Quantum physics,
mechanics, weather forecasting, molecular theory are best
studied by means of supercomputers. Their ability of parallel
processing and their well-designed memory hierarchy give the
supercomputers, large transaction processing powers.
4. Microcomputers A computer with a microprocessor and its central processing
unit it is known as a microcomputer. They do not occupy space
as much as mainframes do. When supplemented with a
keyboard and a mouse, microcomputers can be called
personal computers. A monitor, a keyboard and other similar
input output devices, computer memory in the form of RAM
and a power supply unit come packaged in a microcomputer.

2 GSC-CID-LRMS-ESSLM, v.r. 03.00, Effective June 14, 2021

 Personal computers come in different forms such as desktops, laptops and personal
digital assistants (refer to Figure 2). Let us look at each of these types of computers.

1. Desktops: A desktop is intended to be used on a single location. The spare parts of a

desktop computer are readily available at relatively lower costs. Desktops are widely
popular for daily use in the workplace and households.

2. Laptops: Similar in operation to desktops, laptop computers are miniaturized and

optimized for mobile use. Laptops run on a single battery or an external adapter that
charges the computer batteries.

3. Netbooks: They fall in the category of laptops, but are inexpensive and relatively smaller
in size. They had a smaller feature set and lesser capacities in comparison to regular
laptops, at the time they came into the market.

Figure 2. Types of Personal Computer

4. Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs): It is a handheld computer and popularly known as

a palmtop. It has a touch screen and a memory card for storage of data. PDAs can also
be used as portable audio players, web browsers and smart phones. Most of them can
access the Internet by means of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication.

5. Tablet Computers: Tablets are mobile computers that are very handy to use. They use
the touch screen technology. Tablets come with an onscreen keyboard or use a stylus or
a digital pen. Apple's iPod redefined the class of tablet computers.

6. Wearable Computers: A record-setting step in the evolution of computers was the

creation of wearable computers. These computers can be worn on the body and are
often used in the study of behavior modeling and human health. When the users' hands
and sensory organs are engaged in other activities, wearable computers are of great
help in tracking human actions.
