A computer is an electronic device that can process and store data. It is made up of various hardware components, such as a central processing unit (CPU), memory, storage devices, input/output devices, and communication interfaces.
The CPU is the brain of the computer and performs most of the processing tasks. It retrieves data from memory, performs calculations, and executes instructions. Memory, also known as RAM (Random Access Memory), is used to store data and instructions temporarily while they are being processed by the CPU.
A computer is an electronic device, operating under the control of instructions stored in its own memory that can accept data (input), process the data according to specified rules, provide information (output), and store the information for future use
The computer itself the hardware cannot do anything. The ingredient that enables a computer to perform a specific task is software, which consists of electronic instructions. These instructions tell the machine’s physical components what to do; without them, a computer could not do anything at all.
System Software:
The program directly related to the hardware of the computer and which perform the fundamental task are termed as system software.
Several programs may be included in system software but the following are essential for any computer.
Language Translators
A Particular translator is required to execute any high-level language program.
Each language has a different language translator, while the function of each translator is to convert the high-level program into machine code.
These translators are categorized into the following groups.
Interpreter:
These translators translate only one instruction at a time and execute it. After execution, the translation is erased from memory and the next instruction is loaded for translation. Therefore translation is required again if the program is executed again.
It is a limitation of interpreters that it forgets translation after the execution of the instruction.
A GWBASIC interpreter is required to run GWBASIC programs.
Each programming language has its separate interpreter if it is designed.
Compiler
These translators are used to translate the entire program at once and store their translated program on disk.
The original program is called “Source Program” while its translated program is called “Object Program”.
These translators can not execute an object program.
The object program has to go through some other stages to be able to execute.
Assembler
The assemblers are language translators for low-level symbolic language programs.
Assemblers can translate a source program into an object program.
An assembler translates one source instruction into exactly one machine code.
The linking process is required on the object program to be able to execute it.
Each low-level symbolic language has its assembler.

Title: The Transformative Power of Computer Usage in Today's World
Ladies and gentlemen,
In the rapidly evolving landscape of the 21st century, few phenomena have had as profound an impact as the widespread adoption and utilization of computers. From personal computing to artificial intelligence, from social networking to scientific research, computers have become ubiquitous tools that shape nearly every aspect of our lives. Today, I stand before you to explore the transformative power of computer usage in our modern world.
First and foremost, let us consider the realm of communication. Never before in human history have we been so interconnected, thanks to the advent of the internet and social media platforms. Computers serve as our gateways to the digital realm, facilitating instant communication with individuals across the globe. Whether it's through email, messaging apps, or video conferencing tools, computers have revolutionized the way we connect with one another, breaking down barriers of distance and time.
Moreover, the democratization of information is another hallmark of computer usage in today's world. The internet is a vast repository of knowledge, accessible to anyone with a computer and an internet connection. From educational resources to scholarly research, from news updates to DIY tutorials, the wealth of information available at our fingertips is staggering. Computers empower individuals to learn, explore, and discover at their own pace, fostering a culture of lifelong learning and intellectual curiosity.
In addition to communication and information access, computers have also revolutionized industries and economies around the world. The rise of e-commerce has transformed the way we shop, allowing consumers to browse and purchase goods and services online with unprecedented ease and convenience. From Amazon to Alibaba, from eBay to Etsy, online marketplaces have become virtual shopping malls where millions of transactions take place every day, transcending geographical boundaries and time zones.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

3. Introduction to Computer
Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw
data as input from the user and processes these data under
the control of set of instructions (called program) and gives
the result (output) and saves output for the future use.
A computer is a combination of hardware and
software resources which integrate together and provides
various functionalities to the user. Hardware are the physical
components of a computer like the processor, memory
devices, monitor, keyboard etc. while software is the set of
programs or instructions that are required by the hardware
resources to perform various operations as per the
requirement of users.
5. EVOLUTION OF COMPUTING DEVICE
First Generation (1940-56):
The first generation computers used vacuum tubes &
machine language was used for giving the instructions. These
computers were large in size & their programming was difficult task.
The electricity consumption was very high.
In this generation, mainly batch processing
operating system was used. Punch cards, paper tape, and magnetic
tape was used as input and output devices. The computers in this
generation used machine code as the programming language.
6. Second Generation (1956-63):
In 2nd generation computers, vacuum tubes were replaced by
transistors. They required only 1/10 of power required by
tubes. This generation computers generated less heat & were
reliable. The first operating system developed in this
generation. IBM 1620, IBM 7094, CDC 1604 are the examples
of this generations computers.
In 2nd generation, magnetic cores were used
as the primary memory and magnetic tape and magnetic disks
assecondary storage devices.
In this generation, assembly language and high-level
programming languages like FORTRAN, COBOL were used. The
computers used batch processing and multiprogramming
operating system.
7. Third Generation (1964-71):
The 3rd generation computers replaced
transistors with Integrated circuit known as chip. From Small
scale integrated circuits which had 10 transistors per chip,
technology developed to MSI circuits with 100 transistors per
chip. These computers were smaller, faster & more reliable.
High level languages invented in this generation.
8. Fourth Generation (1972- 1980):
Fourth generation computers became
more powerful, compact, reliable, and affordable. As a result, it
gave rise to Personal Computer (PC) revolution. In this
generation, time sharing, real time networks, distributed
operating system were used. All the high-level languages like
C, C++, DBASE etc., were used in this generation.
9. Fifth Generation (1980-Present & Beyond):
Some computer types of this generation are −
Desktop
Laptop
Note Book
Ultra Book
11. In the above diagram, both control (control unit or CU) and
arithmetic & logic unit (ALU) combinely called as Central
Processing Unit (CPU).
Let's describe about all the parts asincluded in the above
diagram one by one.
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
It is the brain of the computer system. All major calculation and
comparisons are made inside the CPU and it is also responsible
for activation and controlling the operation of other unit.
This unit consists of two major components, that are arithmetic
logic unit (ALU) and control unit (CU).
12. Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
Arithmetic logic unit performs all arithmetic operations such as
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It also uses
logic operation for comparison like comparison or decision
making (>, <, <=, >=, = etc.).
Control Unit (CU)
The control unit of a CPU controls the entire operation of the
computer. It also controls all devices such as memory,
input/output devices connected to the CPU.
CU fetches instructions from memory, decodes the instruction,
interprets the instruction to know what the task are to be
performed and sends suitable control signals to the other
components to perform for the necessary steps to execute the
instruction.
13. Input/Output Unit
The input/output unit consists of devices used to transmit
information between the external world and computer
memory.
The information fed through the input unit is stored in
computer's memory for processing and the final result stored
in memory can be recorded or display on the output medium.
14. Primary Memory:
Primary memory has direct link with input unit and output
unit. It stores the input data, intermediate calculation, result.
Secondary Memory:
The primary storage is not able to store data permanently for
future use. So some other types of storage technology is
required to store the data permanently for long time, it is
called secondary or auxiliary memory.
15. Input & OutputDevice
Input Device:
Input devices are those devices which help to enter data into
computer system. E.g. Keyboad, Mouse, Touchscreen, Barcode
Reader, Scanner, MICR, OMR etc.
Bar Code Reader MICR used in Bank OMR
16. KEYBOARD: This is the most common input device which uses an
arrangement of buttons or keys. In a keyboard each press of a key
typically corresponds to a single written symbol. However somesymbols
require pressing and holding several keys simultaneously or in sequence.
While most keyboard keys produce letters, numbers or characters, other
keys or simultaneous key presses can produce actions or computer
commands.
17. Mouse:
A computer mouse (plural mice or mouses) is a hand- held
pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative
to a surface. This motion is typically translated into the motion
of a pointer on a display, which allows a smooth control of the
graphical user interface of a computer.
18. Scanner:
Scannerisadevicethat optically scans
images,printed text, handwriting, or an
object, and convertsit to digitalimage.
JOYSTICK:

19. Output Device:
Output devices are those devices which help to display the
processed information. Eg. Monitor, Printer, Plotter, Projector
etc.
20. PRINTER:

smalldots.
21. INKJET PRINTER:
It creates a digital image by propelling
droplets of ink onto the paper.
LASERJET PRINTER:
They useslaser technology to print documents. It produce high quality
printing at very high speed.
22. MONITOR
It is the primary output device where we
see the output. It looks like TV.
It is also known asVDU(Visual Display Unit).
Its display may be in the form of CRT
LED, LCD.
1. CRT(CATHODE RAY TUBE)
2. LCD(LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY)
3. LED(LIGHT EMITTING DIODE)
23. MEMORY UNITS: Memory is used to store the data for later
reference. The smallest unit is bit, which mean either 0 or 1.
1 bit = 0 or1
1 Byte = 8bits
1 Nibble = 4bits
1 Kilo Byte = 1024 Byte= 210 Byte
1 Mega Byte = 1024 KB= 210 KB
1 Giga Byte = 1024 MB= 210MB
1 Tera Byte = 1024 GB= 210 GB
1 Peta Byte =1024 TB= 210 TB
1 Exa Byte =1024 PB= 210 PB
1 Zetta Byte = 1024 EB= 210 EB
1 Yotta Byte = 1024 ZB= 210 ZB
25. SECONDARY MEMORY
The primary storage is not able to store data permanently for
future use. So some other types of storage technology is
required to store the data permanently for long time, it is
called secondary or auxiliary storage.
EXAMPLES OF SECONDARY STORAGE
26. DATA DELETION AND ITS RECOVERY ,
SECURITY CONCERN
You can conveniently delete personal data stored in computer
system, survey responses, tickets, and contacts, no matter
where the data originated.
Examples of reasons for deleting the data are:
Freeing the disk space
Removing duplicate or unnecessary data to avoid confusion
Making sensitive information unavailable to others
Removing an operating system or blanking a hard drive
27. DATA RECOVERY
in computing, data recovery is a process of salvaging
(retrieving) inaccessible, lost, corrupted, damaged or
formatted data from secondary storage and removable
media or files, when the data stored in them cannot be
accessed in a normal way.
The most common data recovery scenario involves an
operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device,
logical failure of storage devices, accidental damage or
deletion, etc. (typically, on a single-drive, single-partition,
single-OS system), in which case the ultimate goal is simply
to copy all important files from the damaged media to
another new drive.
28. COMPUTER SECURITY
It is also known as IT security, is the protection of
information systems from theft or damage to the hardware,
the software, and to the information on them, as well as
from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
It includes controlling physical access to the hardware, as
well as protecting against harm that may come via network
access, data and code injection, and due to malpractice by
operators, whether intentional, accidental, or due to them
being tricked into deviating from secure procedures.
29. CONCERNS OF COMPUTER SECURITY
Computer Security is concerned with four main areas:
1.Confidentiality:- Only authorized users can accessthe data resources
and information.
2. Integrity:- Only authorized users should be able to modify the data
when needed.
3. Availability:- Data should be available to users when needed.
30. SOFTWAREAND ITS TYPE
SOFTWARE: Software, simply are the computer programs. The
instructions given to the computer in the form of a program is
called Software. Software is the set of programs, which are
used for different purposes. All the programs used in computer
to perform specific task is called Software.
32. 1. SYSTEM SOFTWARE
The system software is a collection of programs designed to
operate, control, and extend the processing capabilities of the
computer itself.
These software products comprise of programs
written in low-level languages, which interact with the
hardware at a very basic level. System software serves asthe
interface between the hardware and the end users.
Some examples of system software are Operating
System, Compilers, Interpreter, Assemblers, etc.
35. LANGUAGE PROCESSOR
We generally write a computer program using a high-level
language. A high-level language is one that is understandable
by us, humans. This is called source code.
However, a computer does not understand
high-level language. It only understands the program written
in 0's and 1's in binary, called the machine code.
To convert source code into machine code, we use either a
compiler or an interpreter. Compiler, Interpreter are known as
language processor. Both compilers and interpreters are used
to convert a program written in a high-level language into
machine code understood by computers. However, there are
differences between how an interpreter and a compiler works.
