UNIT IV:
Computer in our daily life

Week 7 - 8
Introduction/overview

Week 7 to 8 Unit 4: This presentation include discussion of usage of computer daily.


Why we use computers? Its type and different kinds of users.
Learning Goals/objectives

At the end of the lessons, the student are expected to:

• Understand more why we use computers;


• Learn different types of computer systems; and
• Learn the categories of users
Why do we use computers?
Efficiency of usage if computers focus more on what we can do as a human with limited
energy, speed and capacity to think. The examples below are some of the differences
between manual and automated (computerized) systems.
Speed
The main difference between manual and computerized systems is speed. Accounting
software processes data and creates reports much faster than manual systems.
Calculations are done automatically in software programs, minimizing errors and increasing
efficiency. Once data is input, you can create reports literally by pressing a button in a
computerized system.
Cost
Another difference between manual and computerized systems is cost. Manual accounting
with paper and pencil is much cheaper than a computerized system, which requires a
machine and software. Other expenses associated with accounting software include training
and program maintenance. Expenses can add up fast with costs for printers, paper, ink and
other supplies.
Backup
A third difference between manual and computerized systems is the ease of backup of a
computerized system. All transactions can be saved and backed up, in case of fire or other
Why do we use computers?

Accuracy and Reliability of computers are dependent on its users. Tasks will always be
dependent on how it was programmed. When computers are required to perform “straight
forward” calculations they are accurate. For example, when adding up a series of values
they will get the correct answer, but incorrect data, when processed may result to incorrect
output, as well as incorrect programming will result to incorrect output.
Why do we use computers?

Communication by uses of computer in communication in different ways, for example,


online classing, meetings, calling, messaging, email, file transferring, uploading and
downloading documents and other materials. Today it’s considered one of the most mass
and alternative communication media. Traditional mass communication media like the
written and TV press, have several characteristics that make them different from the web.
For instance, newspapers, magazines, newsletters, etc., can become damaged either by the
effect of your time or other external factors unless, of course, their duration is facilitated by
means of their care either in libraries or in collections from newspapers, for instance.
Types of Computer Systems

Non-portable computers

A desktop computer is a personal computer


in a form intended for regular use at a single
location, as opposed to a mobile laptop or
portable computer. Early desktop computers
were designed to lie flat on the desk, while
modern towers stand upright. Most modern
desktop computers have separate screens
and keyboards.
Types of Computer Systems

Portable computers
A portable computer is a personal computer that
is designed to be easily transported and
relocated, but is larger and less convenient to
transport than a notebook computer. The earliest
PCs designed for easy transport were called
portables. As the size and weight of most
portables decreased, they became known as
laptop computer and later as notebook computer.
Today, larger transportable computers continue
to be called portable computers. Most of these
are special-purpose computers - for example,
those for use in industrial environments where
they need to be moved about frequently.
Types of Computer Systems

Mobile computing device


Refers to wireless communication system. Mobile computing produces
better environment that users can send any type of data from one
location to other location anywhere and anytime with using of mobile
computing devices without getting any physical connections.

Mobile computing devices are known as “Mobile Computer Devices”


because they allow users to make connection to internet with all parts
of your mobile devices. These devices are designed to be portable that
means they are comfortable on your lap, pocket or palm of your hand.
So users can carry those devices from one location to other location
without any headache.
Types of Computer Users

Alternatively referred to as an end user, a user is any individual who is


not involved with supporting or developing a computer or service. For
example, you are the end-user of the computer you are using when you call
technical support for help.

Casual user or regular user


A user who has some computer experience and can navigate and use the computer
without much assistance.

Small Office/Home Office (SOHO)


Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) refers to small businesses that are often run out of
homes, or even virtually. They typically have fewer than 10 employees.
Types of Computer Users

Power User
A user of computers, software and other electronic devices, who uses advanced
features of computer hardware, operating systems, programs, or websites which
are not used by the average user. A power user might not have extensive technical
knowledge of the systems they use but is rather characterized by competence or
desire to make the most intensive use of computer programs or systems.

In enterprise systems, "Power User" may be a formal role given to an individual


who is not a programmer, but who is a specialist in business software. Often these
are people who retain their normal user job role but also function in testing,
training, and first-tier support of the enterprise software.

laptop user. Mobile users are users who utilizes portable
devices. They use mobile devices on their everyday life,
either banking transactions, shopping for their needs,
groceries or even communicating with other mobile users.
