Exploring Computers and their Uses:
“Computers are everywhere”
• In our family car, in home appliances and even in
our alarm clock
• Majority of business now use computerized
equipment
• Most companies are networked internally and
externally
• More than half of all homes in the united states
have at least one computer
• Workers who once had little use for technology
now interact with computers almost every
minute of the work day.
2
Cont..

The computer defined
• A computer is an electronic device that
processes data, converting it information that
is useful to people.
• Any type of computer is controlled by
programmed instructions, which give the
machine a purpose and tell it what to do.
5
TYPES OF COMPUTERS
• Two types of computers
– Digital computers
– Analog computers
6
Cont..
• Analog computers are used for quantities for
which the exact values are not always
necessary such as temperature and speed
• Digital computers are used for numbers which
require exact values, for example, the
calculations which are carried out while
constructing a bridge and other operations.
7
Digital computers:
• Are work “ by the numbers”
• Break all types information into tiny units and use
numbers to represent those pieces of information.
• Digital computer, any of a class of devices
capable of solving problems by processing
information in discrete form.
• It operates on data, including magnitudes, letters,
and symbols, that are expressed in binary code—
i.e., using only the two digits 0 and 1.
Cont..

Cont..
• Analog computers:
– A lesser known computers
– Earliest computers were analog systems

38
Data
• Computer data is information processed or
stored by a computer. This information may
be in the form of text documents, images,
audio clips, software programs, or other types
of data. Computer data may be processed by
the computer's CPU and is stored in files and
folders on the computer's hard disk.
39
40
Cont..
• These processes work together and repeat
over and over.
• Input—entering data into the computer.
• Processing—performing operations on the
data.

future use.
• Output—presenting the results.
41
42
Essential computer hardware
• Processor
• Memory
• Input/output
• storage
43
Processor
• Brain of computer
• It is in motherboard
• A central processing unit is the electronic
circuitry within a computer that carries out
the instructions of a computer program by
performing the basic arithmetic, logical,
control and input/output operations specified
by the instructions.
44
Memory
• Computer memory is any physical device
capable of storing information temporarily or
permanently.
• RAM (random access memory)
• ROM (read only memory)
45
RAM
• Random-access memory is a form of
computer data storage that stores data and
machine code currently being used.
• Hold data and program instructions while the
CPU works with them
• Also called read/write memory
46
ROM
• ROM is "built-in" computer memory containing data
that normally can only be read, not written to.
• Non-volatile memory never loses its contents
• Contains info about computer hardware
• ROM contains the programming that allows your
computer to be "booted up" or regenerated each time
you turn it on.
• . Unlike a computer's random access memory (RAM),
the data in ROM is not lost when the computer power
is turned off. The ROM is sustained by a small long-life
battery in your computer.

information can be stored.
• Magnetic storage
• Optical storage
52
Cont..
53
• Optical storage is the storage of data on an
optically readable medium. Data is recorded
by making marks in a pattern that can be read
back with the aid of light, usually a beam of
laser light precisely focused on a
spinning optical disc.
Optical storage devices
54
Magnetic storage
• Magnetic storage or magnetic recording is
the storage of data on a magnetized
medium. Magnetic storage uses different
patterns of magnetisation in a magnetisable
material to store data and is a form of non-
volatile memory.
