This subject is focus on theoretical and practical aspects of the design and use of computers.
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
What is a computer?
Machine that performs task, such as
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Calculations
Electronic communication
under the control of set of instructions called a (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
program.
That Program reside within the computer
That program retrieved and process by the computers electronics.
By modern definition a computer is an (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Let us dissect that definition,
All computers are powered by electricity.
They must run on electricity in one form or another.
A computer must be able to follow a set of instructions to operate.
That instruction is called programs.
A computer must be able to store information to use at another time.
This computer feature turns the machine into an electronic filing cabinet
On top of being able to store information.
A Computer must be able to retrieve the information that it has stored.
Storing is meaningless without the capacity to retrieve.
Most importantly, a computer must be able to process information.
In other words, a computer must be able to manipulate and transform the information it has stored.
Now guys lets proceed to the (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
All computers perform four basic functions
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
The procedure of feeding data into a computer.
A typical way of feeding or entering data into a computer is by typing on a keyboard.
This is the operation of manipulating and transforming data into something useful.
A program, which is a set of program, which is a set of written instruction, it’s tell the computer how to manipulate and transform the data.
This is the result of processing function.
Once the data has been processed into information
The computer must produce and present that information in a form that you can understand.
There are two common computer output types.
The information displayed on a monitor screen & information printed on paper.
Computer can save data so that it can be used at another time.
Question guys? What is the difference between (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Question guys? What is the difference between data and information?
When we say (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
It is a raw unprocessed facts
This data has a potential to be come useful but first it has to be manipulated and transformed.
The best way to do that is to feed the data into a computer.
Data is what computer feeds on.
Is the processed data.
It is data that has already been manipulated and transformed into something useful.
Now guys if you process data that is called (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Data processing is the data manipulation.
We have different types of data processing
Manual Data Processing
In Manual Data Processing we used (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)

Mechanical Data Processing
In Mechanical Data Processing we used (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)

Electronic Data Processing or simply E.D.P is Processing of data through the use of

QUESTIONS GUYS??
Now let’s proceed to (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
As computer technology advances, new application are developed daily.
This is practically no limits to the different ways society uses computer.
Here are some of the benefits of using computer.
Everybody is looking for ways to get more work done faster with less effort.
Since computers can handle a great deal of data at once, they are perfect tools to increase productivity.
In other words, they can increase the amount of work we can do in a given amount of time.
Example: Print multiple copies of data.
The computer’s ability to let process and store massive amount of data, and its ability to convert this data into useful information, is a great information management
Example: a group of unrelated numbers and facts held in multiple accounting databases can be brought together, and processed by very rapidly into a single, unified report, which can give a business owner a good idea of the status of the financial health of the business quickly.
Computer improve modern communications in many ways.
Any personal computer owner can tap into vast world of electronic information without leaving home.
Example: you can access information from big computer databases using remote terminals.
An Automated Teller Machine (ATM) is one of the best example of remote terminal.
You can get your financial records stored in the bank’s databases.
QUESTIONS GUYS??
Next is (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Guys the use of computers gives us a real advantages.
For some applications, these advantages make the use of the computer a necessity
Next is (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Nothing can match the speed of a computer.
Next to computer, a typewriter, calculator, or pencil and paper are extremely slow.
Once data has been stored into a computer,
the computer can process data into information much faster than any human being using any tool.
Next is (CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
If the computer has been given the correct instructions (Program), the information it will provide will be totally and consistently accurate.
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
This is the computer’s capability of doing the same task repeatedly, quickly, and without complaint.
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Computers have the advantages of being programmable.
You can program your computer that will make the machine do exactly what you need it to do.

Computer hardware are classified into three categories
They are the

(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Let’s discuss the input device 1st
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Is the standard input device of most computers.
It was patterned after the typewriter and the keypad of an electronic calculator.
Aside from these keys, several other keys were added such as
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Esc key
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Function Key
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Return Key,
Space Bar
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Cursor.
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
and Numeric Keypad
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Commonly we have two types of Keyboard
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
The standard English language typewriter keyboard
Design by Christopher Sholes who also invented the typewriter in 1878.

How about this one?
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
held by a socket containing sensors to detect rotation of the ball about two axes—
like an upside-down mouse with an exposed protruding ball.
The world's first trackball invented by

used a standard Canadian five-pin bowling ball.

They design the 1st track ball while working on the Royal Canadian Navy's DATAR project in 1952.

This one guys! What is this?
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Joysticks are often used to control video games
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Usually have one or more push-buttons whose state can also be read by the computer.
Those are the few example of Input devices.

Printers fall in two major categories
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Printers fall in two major categories namely impact and
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Printers fall in two major categories namely impact and non-impact printers
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
When we say Impact Printers it Produces an output by using a mechanism that presses against an inked ribbon on paper.
Example: Dot Matrix Printer
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
While non-impact printers Uses a photocopier-like process to transfer ink to piece of paper.
Example Ink Jet Printer
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
(CLICK NEXT TO CONTINUE)
Refers to a type of computer printer
with a print head that runs back and forth
on the page and prints by impact,
striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper,
much like a typewriter.
