What is Computer?
Computer
• is a machine that can be programmed to carry out sequences
of arithmetic or logical operations automatically.
• an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically
in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a
variable program.
• Computers are designed to make people’s lives easier by
assisting them in their tasks.

Computer Hardware Devices

• Over the past decades, the function of computers has


developed from being a simple electronic device
intended for mathematical calculations, to an essential
tool for communication, word processing, presentation,
etc.
The basic hardware of a Personal Computer (PC)
system includes the following:

1. Central Processing Unit (CPU) – It is also known as


the “brain” of the computer where information
processing happens.
 Considering its function, the CPU can also be referred to
as the processor.
2. Considering its function, the CPU can also be referred to
as the processor.
a. Random Access Memory (RAM) –RAM stores
information that are being utilized while the computer is
in operation, and serves as a working space for the
operating system and its applications. It is commonly
referred to as the “working memory.”
b. Read Only Memory (ROM) – This type of memory unit
contains program codes and computer instructions, such
as the Basic Input Output System (BIOS), that are
necessary for the operation of the computer system.
3. Input Devices – This is a group of devices used to enter
data into the computer’s memory.
The following are common input devices:
a) keyboard
b) Mouse
c) web camera
d) scanner
e) microphone
f) drawing tablet. Other examples of input devices include
bar code readers, digital cameras, joysticks, etc.
Other examples of input devices include:
a) bar code readers
b) digital cameras
c) joysticks, etc.

4. Output Devices – This group of devices communicates


the computer’s processed data back to the user in the form
of words, sounds, pictures, videos, or a combination of the
four that is understandable to the user.
The following are common output devices:
a) Monitor
b) Printer
c) Speakers
d) headphones, etc.
5. Storage Devices – These devices make it possible to
store programs and data for future use. Examples of storage
devices include the following:
e) Hard Disk Drive (HDD) – This device is located inside the
System Unit. Downloaded files, installed applications, pictures,
videos, and music files can be stored directly into this device.
b. CD or DVD – These are optical media storage devices
where data and other files can be stored in for a limited
capacity.
c. Flash Drive or Thumb Drive – It is one of the forms of
portable storage device.
Current ICT Trends

The 21st Century is marked by the rapid development of technology in


various fields like health care, energy, transportation, and most especially,
communication.
Technological breakthroughs in these fields enabled people to cure
previously incurable diseases, produce goods efficiently, travel faster and
safer, and communicate with their counterparts from the opposite side of
the globe in seconds.
Today’s latest technology has come a long way from its smokestack past,
and it still has a long way to go. Here are some of the emerging trends in the
field of information and communications technology:
Current ICT Trends

a. Smartphones
• Mobile phones nowadays are no longer limited to voice calls and text
messaging.
• In today’s digital world, a versatile mobile phone that can perform a wide
range of functions to meet the demands of a highly digital age is very helpful,
thus smartphones became very popular.
Current ICT Trends

b. Tablet Computers
• When it comes to cutting-edge gadgets, portability is the name of the game.
• tablets are general-purpose mobile computers contained in a single screen
panel.
• It can perform almost all the functions of a regular PC with only a few
restrictions.
Current ICT Trends

c. Cloud Computing
• Everyday, more and more information is being uploaded to the internet due to
the rapid computerization of people’s everyday dealings. Simple transactions,
from paying electric bills, ordering fast food, and shopping for clothes, to
expanding one’s circle of friends (social networking), can now be done on the
internet.
