WHAT IS A COMPUTER ANS WHAT DOES IT DO

It can be defined as a programmable electrical device that does calculation

Computers do processes including input, processing, output, storage.

Computer users and professionals
Software- programs and instructions used to tell the computer hardware to do the objectives

Application software

System software

Hardware

Storage- they are used to save data

Output- accepts processed data and present the result

Processing devices- processing data

Input-used to put data into the computer

Computers then and now

It's often refered by generations

Fifth generation computers

now and the future.

They have no specific classification for them

Fourth generation computers

from 1971-present

the invention of microprocessor

apple macintosh

Third Generation computers

1964-1970

the replacement of transistors with ICs

Second generation computers

First generation computers

Precomputers and Early computers

Data Vs. Information

Data is raw facts while information is processed data by the computer

computers in your life

Computers became an essential part of our lives.

Computers on the go

computer is now used in every industry. It's embedded in many devices such as your car or your washing machine.

Computers in education

they are used in schools and universities

some universities give their students a mobile phone (M.Learning)

Computers in the home

embedded computers. Smart houses. smart TVs that allow you to check your e-mail while watching the show. wifi connections are used

Why learn about computers

the use of computers is increasing day by day.

pervasive computing

only scientists and researchers used to work with computers

Overview

It'sa short introduction of the chapter.

We use technoogy in every aspect of our life.
