Computer - electronic device operating under the control

- lies on electronic components to process information - graphics design tools (adobe photoshop)
- follow pre-define instructions - utility programs- maintenance
2 types
3 basic function of computer • anti virus (avast, norton)
-Access data or input • disc cleaner (disk cleanup- optimized disc usage)
-process data
- produces information or output `Computer Hardware
• physical components
Difference between data and information Ex. Keyboard, mouse, motherboard, CPU
Data- unprocess facts and figures Different forms Text
,number, images, audio 2 categories of hardware
Ex. Grades - input devices - accept data (keyboard- one of primary
input , mouse- pointing device -alternative of keyboard,
Information- data that has been process, organized or touchpad
structured - valuable to users - process using calculation or - trackpad - use in desktop, joysticks- pointing device,
computation scanner, microphone)
Ex. Average grades
- output devices `produce information - monitor(display)
Example: Patient with skin disease. Many intervention have - used to display information and graphics images
been done of each nurses. • resolution - the higher the resolution the clearer
• list of nursing intervention. the image
• nurse 1 arrive and gather all the intervention and realize • color monitor - 2 colors
there's one intervention which is effective. • printer - ink, toner, laser, ribbon,
• data- different intervention • speakers- produce sounds
• information- uses summarization and classification • headphones
method to determine the most effective intervention. • projector •
braille display- design for visualing impared
Type of information processing
*Calculation, computation, sorting of data, classification, - system unit
summarization, organizing, analyzing, interpreting, - motherboard (ram, memory- storage of dafa,
- CPU- brain of the computer( central processing
Data- unsorted, raw materials Information - sorted, unit) , control all operation inside the computer)
Classification of data * - PSU- power supply unit.
In classroom, sorting according to gender Summarizing of - expansion parts - sound card, network interface
Data card (additional functionality)
• more concise data -memory
2 types memory
Software and hardware RAM - random access memory (temporary
Computer Software memory)
• programs and application that facilitate varios task ROM- read only memory (permanent
• backbone of modern technology memory) program was stored - ports
- storage devices
Different types of software 2 types (non volatile)
• Os ( operating system) - link, intermediary between the -Hard disc drive storage
user and application -Solid State Drives ( secondary storage drives)
• common types of Os
- windows (Microsoft) Types of keyboards
- mac os (apple Washington computer) • standard keyboard - the most common type, qwerty
- linnox( servers) feature, alpha numeric( letters and numbers), modifier
keys (shift, ctrl, alt), function keys ( F1- F12) desktop(F14),
• Application software -are programs designed to perform navigation keys (arrows, home, end, page up/down) esc,
specific task or functions to meet the needs of user prnt scrn
-ex. Word processor ( MS word, google docs, libre office) • gaming keyboard - design specifically for games.
• mechanical keyboard- more durable and responsive,
popular
• Wireless keyboard- used using Bluetooth
• Ergonomic keyboard- reduce stress, strain and discomfort
during typing

2 methods of storing and accessing digital data


•Optical disc
- CD's ( compact discs hold 700mb)
dvd ( digital versatile disc hold 8.5GB),
blue-ray disc( 25 or 50GB)
- physical storage media, use laser tech. To read and write
data
- non-volatile storage( data stored in op disc remains even
power supply is turned off) ROM
- volatile- RAM - portable, cn ve transport in different
locations
•Cloud storage - data stores using remote serves access
over internet
- ex. Google drive, dropbox, ms one drive, amazone
-advantage : access anywhere as long as there's internet
connection, not prone to corruption, scalable
- disadvantage: reliable internet
