It also explains how software programs tell the computer what to do and gives examples like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Finally, it provides a basic quiz to test understanding of computer fundamentals.
This document provides an overview of 5th generation computers, computers in education, the workplace, and for mobile use. It defines what a computer is and its basic functions of input, output, processing, communication, and storage. It also describes computer hardware, software, application software, computer networks, and how the Internet is the largest computer network. The document outlines current and future uses of computers across different settings and how they have become integrated tools for learning, work, and daily life.
Basic Computer Terms and Definitions. Computer. A computer is a device that executes a program or programs. CPU. The central processing unit or CPU, also known as the microprocessor or processor is the brain of the computer.
A computer system takes inputs, processes them using hardware and software, and produces outputs. It has input devices that provide data, a central processing unit (CPU) that processes the data, and output devices that display or store the processed data. Storage devices like hard drives are used to store programs and data for future use, as primary storage in RAM is only temporary. The system takes inputs, processes them using programs stored in storage, and creates outputs.
The presentation introduces basic computer hardware components including input devices like mouse and keyboard, output devices like monitor and printer, memory, and the central processing unit (CPU). It discusses that the CPU contains the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) where instructions are executed. It also distinguishes between primary storage and secondary storage, noting that primary storage is faster but has smaller capacity while secondary storage is slower but can store large amounts of data even without power.
The document describes the basic components and functions of a computer system. It explains that the monitor displays visual output, while the CPU contains the computer's processor and can be in desktop or tower cases. The document outlines different input devices like keyboards, mice, scanners, and their functions. It also discusses internal memory components like RAM and ROM that help the CPU process and store information, as well as long-term storage devices like hard disk drives. Finally, it mentions that the motherboard coordinates communication between all computer components and is essential to the computer's operation.

The document discusses the historicity of events described in the Mahabharata epic. It notes there are two divergent views - some see it as completely historical while others view it as fictional. The author conducted excavations at key sites like Hastinapura and found archaeological evidence from the Painted Grey Ware culture period that corroborates details from the texts. Based on textual references and averaging reign lengths, the author estimates the date of the Mahabharata war to around 900 BCE, though some date it as early as 3102 BCE based on astronomical data in the texts.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
