now I can share and understand the path through which the data transfer and daily ways of making the communication effective .

week–3 /session–1,2,3

in this week 3 I learned the software layers and its components, programming language and software types with its application .

so I learned to interact with the software program like internet ,email which is powerful but easy to use, programming language that enables users to communicate instructions to computers and the role of computer software designed to make users more productive.

now I know how to make a productive use of software programs.

SESSION - 3

SESSION 3 is all about the input device, output device and storage device.

INPUT DEVICE:

An input is any way hardware components that allows users to enter data and instruction in the form of program, commands and user responses.

e.g: keyboard screen     

       touch devices

       game controllers

       digital cameras

       voice input device( optical scanner)

        biometric input

OUTPUT

Output is any types of hardware components that conveys information to its users.

e.g:   > pointer

         > desktop

         > speaker

         > data projector

DISPLAY DEVICES

it conveys video, text and graphics information.

MONITORS

> CRT monitors ( cathode ray tube)

> LCD monitor (liquid crystal display)

> plasma monitor

> HDTV

PRINTERS

the device that produces or sketch the graphics and text on the paper.

1> IMPACT PRINTER

graphics and text formed on the paper by the physical contact between ink ribbon and paper.

e.g: > line printer

      > dot –matrix printer

2> NON-IMPACT PRINTER

Forms graphic without striking papers.

e.g: > photo printer

      > laser printer

OTHER  PRINTERS

> mobile printer

> label printer

> portage printer and etc..

STORAGE DEVICE

storage device is a device which stores data, instructions and information for further use to the users.

 TYPES OF STORAGE

> hard disk

> flash memory

> optical disk

OTHERS TYPE

> tape

> magnetic stripe card and smart card

> enterprise storage

session -2

this week-2/ session-2 is all about the computer hard ware basics on mother board,CPU and main memory.

motherboard is also known as system board which contains main circuit board in system unit and contains chips, integrated circuit and transistors. the chips packages are available as follows :

1. single edge catact (SEC) Cartridge

2. dual inline package(DIP)

3. Flip chip PGA(FC-PGA)packages

4. pin grid array (PGA)

PROCESSOR-

The most important part of the computer that processes CPU(Central processing unit).

CPU=  MEMORY + PROCESSOR

[NOTE:

Sometimes processor itself is called CPU.]

CPU acts like a brain of the computer system that take major decision, all sorts of calculations , controls all parts of the computer functions by activating, controlling the operations that converts data into information to users.

[Measurements in unit = megahertz (MHz)]

CPU is divided into two components:

1. control unit(CU)

> Parts of hardware .

> execute stored program, instructions to computer system .

>communicate with other parts of the hardware.

2. arithmetic logic unit(ALU)

> Performs arithmetic operations.          e.g: additional, subtraction, division, multiplication

>performs logical relational operation.    e.g: AND, OR, NOT,=,>,<

MAIN MEMORY

Are of two types.

RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM)

I holds the program instructions and setting required to set up the computer and does not loose it concepts even after the power is turned off.

ROM is also known as firm ware which is installed by the manufacturer itself inside  the computer.

TYPES OF ROM

1. PROM ( Programmable, read only memory)                                                     _       PROM works similar to ROM for storing data during the power cut off where the data is permanent and cannot be erased.

2. EP-ROM( Erasable, programmable read only memory)                                      _       the data can be read with the help of special device that uses ultra violet light to overcome PROM where the data can be erased and new data can be re-entered. it exactly works as PROM.

3.EEP-ROM ( Electronically erasable programmable read only memory )     _ EEP-ROM  helps to avoid the inconvenience if having to take chips out from the computer to change data and instructions or exchange chips to update newdata.                                        this changes are done electronically under the control of software.e.g. to change the prices recorded in the items according to needs of the market.

Week-2 /Session -1

Here, we got to know about the features of 1st generation till 5th generation computers. various categories of computers like:       

1. embedded computer

2. mobile devices computer

3. personal computer

4. mid-range computer

5. mainframes

6. supercomputer
