15. Limitations of computers:
1. Computers need clear & complete instructions
toper form a task accurately. If the instructions are
not clear & complete, the computer will not produce
the required result.
2. Computers cannot think.
3. Computers cannot learn by experience.
A computer system has only four basic components:
â˘Input
â˘Output
â˘Storage data.
â˘Peripherals devices
16. Generation of computers:
Generation Component Used
First generation ( 1946 -1954 ) Vacuum tubes
Second generation (1955-1965 ) Transistors
Third generation (1968 -1975 ) Integrated Circuit ( IC )
Fourth generation ( 1976 â 1980 ) Very large Scale Integrated Circuit VLSI
Fifth generation (1980 till today ) Ultra Scale Integrated Circuits(ULSI)
Micro Processor (SILICON CHIP)
17. The components of a computer system are:
1- Hardware: physical components which can be touched and seen like. (Screen â
Cable â Keyboard â Case â (System Box) - PrinterâŚ..
2- Software: A set of instructions that tells the computer what to do and how to do it.
Such as word processing, Computer games and Graphics programs.
There are two kinds of software:
A-system software: is the software which is used by the computer or operates a
computer system such as: operating systems,programming languages and
translators.
â˘Operating system software:is a group of programs written in computer language and
acts as a translator between you and your computer, helping you perform such tasks
as creating file, running programs and printing documents. You cannot use a computer
without an operating system. They have two parts: Kernel and Shell., like (Winds, DOS,
Linux ,Unix , OS/2)
B-Applications software: they are the softwareâs that are used by users like: (Word
processors, excel, power point, Access, computer â aided design (cad)).
3- User: A person who uses the software on the computer to do a task.
4. Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) user interface that uses icons and menus
displayed on screen to send commands to the computer system
19. Memory :Is the part of the computer that temporarily
stores applications , documents , and stem operating
information.
*Power Supply:Changes the normal household
electricity into that computer can use.
* Hard Disk (HD):Is a fixed storage device, which can
store quite large quantity of information. A bit of
information equals either zero (0) or one (1).The
standard in 2011 was between 20- 120GB. (is a
generally non removable disk holds data in form of
magnetized spots).
*Motherboard or system board:is the main circuit
board in the system board (case).
20. PERIPHERALS DEVICES
The device which are communication
between the computer and the outside
world, are called as peripheral devices.
Computers components according to
their factions:
1.Input Unit: This group consist of devices
that that allow people to put data into the
computer in a form the computer can use,
like (Keyboard.-Mouse. - Scanner. Mike-. -
camera).
21.
22.
23. Mouse: is a hand-held input device that is moved on
a small flat surface and control the movement of the
cursor (Pointer Is a symbol (usually an arrow) that
moves around the screen as you move your mouse)
on the monitor ,it has 2 buttons on its top :
a. Left click (L.C): Is the main button click on the left
hand side on the mouse (clicks mean quickly press
and release the button), and is used to enter
commands to the computer.
b. Right click (R.C): Is the secondary button on the
right hand side on the mouse. And is used to display
the available options of the clicked area.
24. Pointer: Is a symbol (usually an arrow) that moves
around the screen as you move your mouse.
Optical mouse: Is another advanced pointing device
that uses a light emitting component instead of the
mouse ball. The mouse cannot be used for entering
data; it is only useful for selecting the options on the
screen.
Output Unit:This group consist of devices that
translate the informationâs processed by computer
into a form that humans can understand, like
:(Monitor &Screen â Printer â Headphone â Speaker-
Date show).
25.
26.
27. 3. Central Processing Unit (CPU):Is the central
electronic chip attached on the motherboard that
determines the processing power of the computer
and it has three basic parts:
Arithmetic and logic unit (ALU): performs arithmetic
operations and logical operations and controls the
speed of those operations.
Registers or Immediate Access Memory: Are high
speed storing allocation stores data temporarily that
are used by ALU.
Central Unit: Tells the rest of the computer system
how to carry out a programâs. It directs the electronic
signals between main memory, input devices and
output devices.
28. 4- Memory unit: they are of two types:
A- Primary: main memory, (RAM , ROM) , B- Secondary
memory.
A-Primary: main memory:
1-RAM ( Random Access Memory):Is memory where data
and programs are stored temporarily until they are no
longer needed and RAM is volatile , while the data on it can
be reached by the user and the user can edit them and
these data will be lost on your computer so it need hard
disk to save them.
2-ROM( Read Only Memory):Is the main memory but with
very small capacity it keeps instructions, which make the
computer work. When turning it on .It is not volatile and the
computer (user) cannot write on it .
29. B- Secondary Memory ( Storage devices) or secondary storage
systems:
It include the disks and other storage media to store data permanently
like.(Hard Disk , CD ( Compact Disk) , DVD ( Digital Versatile Disk ), USB
Flash Drives, Floppy , Zip Disk, Magnetic Tape ).
Computer uses several different types of memory. They are: -
⢠INTERNAL MEMORY Main memory ( RAM )
Cache memory
â˘EXTERNAL MEMORY Secondary memory
MAIN MEMORY SECONDARY MEMORY
ďŹRAM is volatile.
ďŹIt is temporary memory.
ďŹIt has limited storage
capacity.
ďŹIt is very expensive.
ďŹIt is not portable.
30. Memory Capacity
1. Each 0 or 1 is called a bit, which is short for binary digits. A
group of eight bits is called a byte.
2. Data transformation rates are often given in bit per
second (bps). Memory is typically measured in megabytes.
Bytes are commonly used to measure data storage.
3. why is 1kB commonly said to be 1024 bytes instead of
1000 bytes
