The document introduces the key elements of a networked economy, including computers, connectivity, and human knowledge. It discusses how a networked economy allows for new economic relationships and competitive advantages through enhanced collaboration based on these elements. The main elements that enable a networked economy are described as computers, which process data into information; connectivity through various Internet connections; and human knowledge workers who can analyze and make decisions based on information.

2. NETWORKED ECONOMY
 Networked economy is based on computers,
connectivity and human knowledge and will
involve changes in the way goods and
services are produced and sold.

3. COMPUTER NETWORK
Combination of two or more computers with
communication system that allows exchange of
data, information and resources among
computers.

4. Networked Economy
 Combines enhanced, transformed or new
economic relationships based on computer,
connectivity and human knowledge.
 Gives better way of doing business
 Gives competitive advantage

6. COMPUTERS
 Computer is an electronic device that accepts
data, manipulates it into information based on
sequence of instructions.
Data Manipulation Information

7. ELEMENTS OF COMPUTER

8. INPUT UNIT
 Input unit’s task is to link external environment
and the computer system so that instructions
and data can be fed before the computations
are to be performed.
 Examples: Keyboard, Mouse, Scanner etc.

9. OUTPUT UNIT
 It is used to deliver the result of processed
data to the user or another device. It converts
the processed data into human readable
format.
 Examples: Monitor, Printer etc.

10. MEMORY UNIT
 It is used to store data entered by input unit. It
also stores the intermediary result produced at
the time of data processing. As well as, it
stores the final result delivered by computer.
 Examples: Floppy drives, pen drives, CD
drives etc.

11. CPU
 It is the ‘brain’ of the computer system. It has
two main units:
a) Arithmetic and Logical Unit (ALU)
b) Control Unit (CU)

12. CONNECTIVITY
 Internet is mainly used for data or information
sharing among users and its necessary for the
users to connect their individual computers to
internet network.
 Various types of high- speed internet
connections are available today.

13. TYPES OF INTERNET
CONNECTIVITY
1. Dial up Connections: Most common category
of internet connection which is also referred to
as intermittent connection. It is less expensive
and easy to install.
2. ISDN Connections: digital connection with
low to medium bandwidth.

14. 3. Direct Connections: These are persistent
connections which provide the highest
bandwidth compared to other connections.
4. Cable Connections: New emerging internet
connectivity which provides bandwidth with
low cost.
5. DSL Connections: Provides connection
through telephone network.

15. KNOWLEDGE
 Knowledge is essential to use information
 Knowledge workers are those workers who
use their knowledge to work with information.
 Example: Research scholars, software
developers, data analysts etc.
