• A computer's hardware consists of electronic
devices; the parts you can see and touch.
• The term "device" refers to any piece of hardware
used by the computer, such as a keyboard, monitor,
modem, mouse, etc.

17. Software - Software is a set of electronic instructions that
tells the computer how to do certain tasks. A set of instructions
is often called a program.
Two types:
• System Software
A system software is any computer software which manages and controls
computer hardware so that application software can perform a task.
 Ex:Operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, are
prominent examples of system software.
• Application Software
Application software tells the computer how to accomplish tasks the user
requires, such as creating a document or editing a graphic image.

18. Application Software:
• Word Processing
• Spreadsheets
• Graphics
• Databases
• Entertainment
• Educational
• Communications
• Presentation

19. Application software and system software
work together to bring computer in life.

20. • Data consists of raw facts, which the computer can
manipulate and process into information that is
useful to people.
• Computerized data is digital, meaning that it has
been reduced to digits, or numbers. The computer
stores and reads all data as numbers.
• Although computers use data in digital form, they
convert data into forms that people can
understand, such as text, numerals, sounds, and
images.

• People are the computer's operators, or users.
• Some types of computers can operate without
much intervention from people, but personal
computers are designed specifically for use by
people.

Looking Inside the Machine - The CPU
•The central processing unit (CPU) manages all devices and performs
the actual processing of data.
•Sometimes referred to simply as the central processor, but more
commonly called processor,
•The CPU is the brains of the computer where most calculations take
place. In terms of computing power, the CPU is the most important
element of a computer system.
•On personal computers and small workstations, the CPU is housed in
a single chip called a microprocessor.
•Processing: The procedure that transforms raw data into useful
information is called processing. This function is divided between the
computer's processor and memory that means processor and RAM
will involved in processing.

26. 08/24/1526
• Memory also consists of chips attached to the motherboard.
• Memory holds data and program instructions as the CPU works
with them. This memory is called Random Access Memory
(RAM).
• The CPU can find any piece of data
in RAM, when it needs it for processing.
• RAM is volatile, meaning it holds data
only when the power is on. When the power
is off, RAM's contents are lost.

27. 08/24/1527
• The smallest usable unit of measure for memory is the byte –
the amount of memory required to hold one character, like the
letter A or the numeral 2.
• Computers work with larger chunks of data, measured in
multiple bytes, as shown below:
1Nibble =4 bits
1 Byte = 8 bits
Unit Approx. Value Actual Value
(bytes) (bytes)
Kilobyte (KB) 1,000 1,024
Megabyte (MB) 1,000,000 1,048,576
Gigabyte (GB) 1,000,000,000 1,073,741,824
Terabyte (TB) 1,000,000,000,000 1,099,511,627,776
How Memory is Measured

28. 08/24/1528
• Input devices accept data and instructions from the
user or from another computer system. The keyboard
and mouse are examples of input devices.
• Output devices return processed data back to the
user or to another computer system. The printer and
monitor are examples.
• Communications devices (such as modems and
network interface cards) perform both input and
output, allowing computers to share information.

29. 08/24/1529
• Storage devices hold data not currently being used
by the CPU. Data is commonly stored on a magnetic
or optical disk. Each type uses a special medium for
storing data on its surface.
• The most common optical storage devices are CD-
ROM and DVD-ROM drives.

31. Computer Generation
08/24/1531
Generation in computer terminology is a change in technology a
computer is/was being used.
 Initially, the generation term was used to distinguish between
varying hardware technologies.
But nowadays, generation includes both hardware and software,
which together make up an entire computer system.
There are totally five computer generations known till date:
 Generation 1 ( the first digital computer)
 Generation 2
 Generation 3
 Generation 4
 Generation 5

32. First Generation (1940-1956)
08/24/1532
 First generation of computers started with using vacuum tubes as the basic
components for memory and circuitry for CPU (Central Processing Unit).
 These tubes like electric bulbs produced a lot of heat and were prone to
frequent fusing of the installations,
 Therefore, were very expensive and could be afforded only by very large
organizations.
 In this generation, mainly batch processing operating systems were used.

42. Classification of Computers
08/24/1542

43. Classification of Computers
08/24/1543
According to purpose, computers are either general purpose or
specific purpose.
General purpose computers are designed to perform a range of tasks . They
have the ability to store numerous programs
Personal computers that are used at home
or at work are general purpose computers
Special purpose computers are those designed to do a specific job. These
again are used throughout daily life and examples include:
1.Home appliances
2.Toys and games
3.Cash machines
4.Vehicle computers

44. Classification of Computers
08/24/1544
According to data handling, computers are analog, digital or hybrid.
 Analog computers An analog computer (spelt analogue in British
English) is a form of computer that uses continuous physical
phenomena such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities to
model the problem being solved
 Digital computers are those that operate with information, numerical
or otherwise, represented in a digital form. Such computers process
data into a digital value (in 0s and 1s). They give the results with
more accuracy and at a faster rate.
 Hybrid computers (Analog + Digital) A combination of computers
those are capable of inputting and outputting in both digital and analog
signals. A hybrid computer system setup offers a cost effective method
of performing complex simulations.

45. Classification of Computers
08/24/1545
According to size or functionality, computers are of following types.
 Super Computer is the fastest and most powerful type of computer
Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized applications
that require immense amounts of mathematical calculations.
 For example, weather forecasting requires a supercomputer. Other uses of
supercomputers include animated graphics, fluid dynamic calculations, nuclear
energy research, and petroleum exploration.
 Mainframe Computer is a very large and expensive computer capable of
supporting hundreds, or even thousands, of users simultaneously.
 In some ways, mainframes are more powerful than supercomputers because they
support more simultaneous programs. But supercomputers can execute a single
program faster than a mainframe.

46. Classification of Computers
08/24/1546
 Mini Computer is a midsized computer. In size and power, minicomputers lie
between workstations and mainframes. In the past decade, the distinction between
large minicomputers and small mainframes has blurred, however, as has the
distinction between small minicomputers and workstations.
 But in general, a minicomputer is a multiprocessing system capable of supporting
from 4 to about 200 users simultaneously.
 Micro Computer or Personal Computer
 Desktop Computer: a personal or micro-mini computer sufficient to fit
on a desk.
 Laptop Computer: a portable computer complete with an integrated
screen and keyboard.
 Palmtop Computer/Digital Diary /Notebook /PDAs: a hand-sized
computer. Palmtops have no keyboard but the screen serves both as an input and
output device.
