Douglas Engelbart
Development of the mouse began in the early 1960s by SRI's Douglas Engelbart,
while he was exploring the interactions between humans and computers.
15. 4.DVD- Digital Versatile Disk
● DVD-ROM
● DVD-R
● DVD_RW
More than six times what a CD can hold.
16. 5.Pen/Thumb Drives- Flash Memories
The USB flash drive is also
sometimes referred to as a memory
stick, keydrive, pendrive, thumb drive
or jumpdrive.
2.The USB stick was invented by
Amir Ban, Dov Moran and Oron
Ogdan, who all worked for Israeli tech
company, M-Systems.
17. 6.Blue Ray Disk
A single-layer disc can hold
25GB, while a dual-layer disc
can hold 50GB of data.
Can hold six times than a DVD
Abbrivated rightly as BD
18. 7.Memory Stick
Using bigger SD cards is
useless if we do not
have any additional
space.
SD cards are prone to
severe damage and failure
19. Cloud Storage(Not a Device)
80% of the companies
that move to cloud
witness improvements in
their IT departments in
less than six months
22. FACT TIME !
Computer memory is made up of….silicon chips (integrated circuits).
1-05-21
Why silicon is used in chips?
Silicon is used because it can be
used as either an insulator (doesn't
allow electricity to flow) or a
semiconductor (allows a little flow of
electricity).
The silicon must be so pure that only
one out of every ten billion atoms can be
an impurity
integrated circuit chip constituting
many transistors and capacitors
26. Computer Performance factors -SPEED
Page 28
The speed of the CPU is also known as the clock speed of the CPU. …
Processor speed is measured in gigahertz (GHz). The higher this measurement,
the faster the processor.
One megahertz equals one million instructions per second, and one gigahertz
equals one billion instructions per second.
Modern laptops varies from 1 to 2.6Ghz.
27. Computer Performance factors- MEMORY SIZE
Page 28
Cache memory
This saves fetching the instructions and data repeatedly from RAM – might otherwise
keep the CPU waiting.
Transfers to and from cache take less time than transfers to and from RAM.
The more cache there is, the more data can be stored closer to the CPU.
28. Computer Performance factors- Number of
applications running
Page 28
Speed of the CPU, the space on the hard disk, the size of the RAM, the
type of the graphics card, the speed of the hard disk
the computer is multitasking, the defragmenting files.
The distribution of clock towards different application.
32. 2. Mouse
A computer mouse (plural mice, rarely mouses) is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-
dimensional motion relative to a surface
33. 3. Microphone(Mic)
A microphone is a device that
captures audio by converting sound
waves into an electrical signal.
This signal can be amplified as an
analog signal or may be converted
to a digital signal, which can be
processed by a computer or other
digital audio device.
34. 4. Scanner
A scanner is a device that captures images from photographic prints, posters, magazine
pages, and similar sources for computer editing and display.
35. 5. Concept Keyboard
A concept keyboard is a flat board that contains a grid of buttons. Each button can
be programmed to do whatever you want.
36. 6. Touch Screens
The screens are sensitive to pressure; a user interacts with the computer by
touching pictures or words on the screen.
37. 7.Barcode readers
an optical scanner that can read printed barcodes, decode the data contained in the barcode and
send the data to a computer.
Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating for optical
impulses into electrical signals.
38. 8. Magnetic Stripe Reader-OMR, OCR, MICR, Light Pen
When a card with a magnetic strip is moved back and forth over any kind of 'reader head', such as
the swiping device on your hotel door or at the supermarket checkout, voltage is introduced into the
coils of the card reader device.
A hardware device that “reads” the information that has. been encoded on the magnetic stripe on
the back of a plastic card.
39. Fact Time!
Refresh Rate-
● Monitors quality depends upon fps-frames per second
● As the rate of fps is higher, image quality will be better.
● Considered as the number of times image updating on screen
● Corresponding that, information reaching to eyes
51. Impact printers-
Paper in touch with printing band
Example-
● Dot matrix printers
● Daisy wheel printers
● Line printers
1. Create characters by striking paper
2. Print on most of types of paper
3. Speed is slow
52. Non- Impact printers
Dry ink powder spray mechanism
● Ex-Laser Printer
1. Fast
2. Not noisy
3. High quality
4. Support many fonts and
different characters
