It can solve mathematical problems and do logical operations.
TYPES OF DATA:
There are three types of data
1. Alphabetic Data.
2. Numeric Data.
3. Alphanumeric or String Data.
ALPHABETIC DATA:
Alphabetic data consists of only alphabets (A to Z) and blank spaces.
NUMERIC DATA:
The data represented in the form of numbers, is called numeric data. This includes Numbers.
from 0 to 9, decimal point, + sign, - sign. Mathematical operations of an Addition Subtraction,
Muttiplication and Division, can be performed through this type of data,
ALPHANUMERIC OR STRING DATA:
The alphabets and numbers are in this type of data. The data composed of alphabets and digits
is called “Alphanumeric Data” This type of data consists of alphabetic characters, numeric digits
and all special characters like =, +, *, $, @, (), {).
All types of data are called information such as “Global Institute of Medica", 10, 599, 700, A”
is a Form of data with five data items, which are:

programs for creating and presenting electronics slide shows Graphics programs for designing
illustrations or manipulating Photographs, Movies or Animations Multimedia authoring applications
{or building digital movies that incorporate sound video, animation, and interactive features.
HARDWARE:
The physical components of computer are called “Hardware”. This equipment consists of
‘electronic or mechanical parts, which perform actual processing and used for Input and Output.
The keyboard, monitor, disk drive and printer are examples of hardware.WHY IS CARE OF PC IMPORTANT?
(i) Will increase its lite.
(ii) Will reduce its cost and expenditure.
(ii) Will save time which will be lost in repairing it
CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU): BRAIN OF THE COMPUTER:
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the main processing device in
‘a computer.
CPU is called the brain of computer Millions of calculations can be done
per second in this chip.
‘The CPU consists of Three Components
‘The Control Unit, The Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU),
and Main Memory.
‘The control unit directs the computer, like a traffic policeman directing cars. The Control Unit
directs electrical impulses between the ALU and Main Memory. It also controls working between
the CPU and the peripheral devices.
ARITHMETIC AND LOGIC UNIT:
The Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) performs arithmetic and logical operations. The
‘Arithmetic operations are Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division.
MAIN MEMORY:
Main Memory, also called RAM (Random Access Memory) is a temporary Storage directly
controlled by Control Unit. Main Memory helps the control unit and the ALU by working as storage
{for running programs and data. Main Memory is on the Motherboard with a number of additional
chips electrically connected.Microsoft Windows is a powerful Application software. Windows shows Graphical tools on
the screen which we need complete specific manager task
‘A user is wanting to perform better and fast in an Easy Environment. DOS and Basic
Software do not provide these facilities. For this purpose, windows were written. It provides user-
friendly environment.
HOW MANY VERSIONS OF WINDOWS?
‘There are many versions of windows.
WINDOWS UPGRADE:
In the beginning Windows 3.1 version was introduced which was had these facilities. By
the time, it was also developed to provide friendlier with more facilities. The history of the upgrade
is as described under.
WINDOWS 3.1:
Windows 3.1 works with MS-DOS to control the overall activity of a computer.
WINDOWS 95:
Windows 95 is the development of windows 3.1. Windows 95 was a true Operating
system because it did not need MS-DOS as operating system. This Operating System was more
‘graphical and easier to use than Windows 3.1.
WINDOWS 98:
Windows 98 was development of windows 95. This operating system was similar to
Windows 95 but had many new and improved features.
WINDOWS ME:
Windows ME came after Windows 98 Windows ME stands for Windows Millennium
Edition
WINDOWS NT:
Windows NT was a powerful version of the Windows operating system that provided
advanced networking and security options.
WINDOWS 2000:
Windows 2000 was a replacement of Windows NT. This operating system offered
improved networking and security options.WINDOWS XP:
Windows XP is the latest version of Windows. This operating system offered improved
Networking and security options.
OPERATING SYSTEM:
Operating system first load in a computer before it can be used for any useful work. When
you turn on a computer, it goes through several steps to prepare itself for use. The first step is
called the Power-On Self-Test (POST). The computer identifies the Devices. Attached to it
identities the amount of memory available, and does a quick check to see whether the memory is
functioning property. This routine is initiated by a part of the system software located in Read-
‘Only Memory (ROM) a chip that contains brief, Permanent instructions for starting the computer.
PROCESSOR:
‘The processor is like the brain of the computer in the
way that it organizes and caries out instructions that come from.
either the user or the software. In a personal computer, the
processor usually consists of one or more microprocessor
(sometimes called “chip’). To Processor data, the computer
passes electricity through the circuits to complete instructions.
MOTHERBOARD:
The microprocessor is plugged into the computer's motherboard. The motherboard is a
Rigid rectangular eared containing the circuitry that connects the processor to the other hardware.
‘The motherboard is an example of a circuit board. In most personal computers, many intemal
devices such as video cards, sound cards, disk controllers, and other devices are housed other
‘own smaller circuit board, which attach to the motherboard. A computer motherboard is the soul
of your computer. This is where the most important entity, your computer processor, is embedded
land the connection to all computer peripherals goes.CHAPTER #04 00
DATA PROCESSING CYCLE:
Data processing cycle is a way to accomplish a work by computer. Ithas three basic steps:
Input, Process and Output. The direction of data flow is shown in the following figure

In the Input step we can use many Input Devices are used to enter data into computer.
During Processing step the Input Data is processed in Central Processing Unit (CPU) of computer
‘on predefined rules (Program). This usually includes a sequence of certain processing operating.
‘The results of processing are sent for Output. These results can be sent too many Output Devices
ata time.
ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING (EDP):
Processing which involves electronic equipment like keyboard CPU, monitor and printer
is known as Electronic Data Processing. It is abbreviated as "EDP" Usually the computer
department of an office is turned as EDP Department or EDP (Data Processing Department). This
department is very essential for every organization to do fast and accurate computations.
Electronic data processing also involves many persons, systems analyst, programmer, data entry
‘operator and managerial staff.CHAPTER #Q5 000
CATEGORIES OF COMPUTER:
Computers are classified by to their size, speed, memory and peripherals attached to them.
The main classifications of computer are
. MAIN FRAME COMPUTER
. MINI FRAME COMPUTER
. MICRO COMPUTER
. SUPER COMPUTER
MAIN FRAME COMPUTER:
itis big in size. It has fast speed it has large memory
with larger storing capacity. Itis used with many terminals
for input and takes out on printers. A group of experts is
required to operate it. It is cost and maintenance are very
high therefore only large companies can afford it.
2. MINI FRAME COMPUTER:
it speeds of is slower than the main frame. It has less
capacity to store information. It is also smaller than main
frame computer.
3. MICRO COMPUTER:
itis smallest of all the four classes of computers. It has
slow speed, and small memory. it allows lesser to be
attached. It is also very handy and light in weight.
4, SUPER COMPUTER:
‘Super computers are faster than main frame, mini frame and microcomputers. its Speed is
maximum. Super computers are mainly used in nuclear weapons research, supersonic aircraft
design, oil reservoir, simulation, in weather forecast stations and space research.ANALOG COMPUTER:
‘These are almost extinct today. These are different from a digital computer because an analog
computer can perform several mathematical operations simultaneously. It uses continues
variables for mathematical operations and utilizes mechanical or electrical energy.
These computers are a combination of both digitaland
analog computers. In this type of computers, the digital
segments perform process control by conversion of
analog signals to digital ones
WORKSTATIONS:
Multi-user midrange computers and personal computers are workstations. Workstations are
specializing, single-user computers with many of the features of a personal computer but with the
processing power of a minicomputer. These powerful machines are popular among scientists,
engineers, graphic artists, animations, and programmers-users that need a great deal of number-
crunching power. Workstation typically use advanced processors and feature more RAM and
storage capacity than personal computers.
Workstations are powerful single-user computers that are used by engineers, scientists and
graphic artists. Like minicomputers, Workstations are often used as Network and Internet serves.COMPUTER SKILLS NOTES
MICROCOMPUTER OR PERSONAL COMPUTER:
The items Microcomputer and Personal Computer are interchangeable, but PC which
‘stands for personal computer-sometimes has a more specific meaning. In 1981, IBM called its
first microcomputer the IBM-PC.
NETWORK COMPUTER (NCs):
if you want to use only the intemet, for example, it your job involves data entry, then you may
not need the processing power, memory, and storage capacity of a fully equipped PC. In this
instance a Network computer (NC) becomes useful
A network computer is a less powerful version of a personal computer, with minimal
processing power, memory and storage, (Some types of network computers provide no storage
atall)
In the mid-1990s, the concept of network computers become popular among some PC
manufactures, who pronounced the NC as the future of computing. However, no single NC
standard emerged as various hardware and software makers fought to command this new
market.
DESKTOP:
‘A desktop is intended to be used on single locations. The spare parts of a desktop computers,
are readily available at relative lower costs. Power consumption is not as critical as that in laptops.
Desktops are widely popular for daily use in workplaces and household.
Similar in operation to desktop. laptop computers are miniaturized and optimized for mobile
use. Laptops run ona single battery or an extemal adapter that changes the computer batteries.
‘They are enabled with an inbuilt keyboard, touch pad acting as a mouse and a liquid crystal
display. Its portability and capacity to operate on battery power have served as a bom for mobile
users.
Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs):
it is a handheld computer and popularly known as a palmtop. It has a touch screen and a
memory card for storage of data. PDAs can also be effectively used as portable audio players,
web browsers and smart phones. Most of them can access the Intemet by means of Bluetooth
‘or Wi-Fi communication.Apple Computer, ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple Il
‘and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Apple is committed to
bringing personal computing products and support to students, educators, designers. scientists,
engineers, business persons and consumers in over 140 countries around the world. To achieve
this goal, Apple reinvested approximately five percent of its 1998 sales in research and
development. Apple computers are manufactured in the United States, Ireland, and Singapore
and distributed via facilities are located in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia,
Singapore, and Japan. The articles included herein relate to Apple computers.

“Metropolitan Area Network”. Wi-Max can provide broadband wireless access up to 30 miles (50
km) for fixed stations, and 3-10 miles (5-15 km) for mobiles stations. Wireless Local Area Network
‘standard is limited in most cases to only 100- 300 feet (30-100m).
INFRARED:
Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that of visible light,
but shorter than that of microwaves. Infrared radiation has wavelengths between about 750mm
‘and 1 mm, spanning five orders of magnitude.
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line):
Digital data transmission over wires of local telephone networkWHAT IS INTERNET?
The Intemet, (or intemet) is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses
the internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices.
It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and
‘goverment networks of local to global scope. linked by a board array of electronic, wireless and
‘optical networking technologies.
WHAT IS INTRANET?
‘An intranet is a computer network for sharing information, collaboration tools, operational
systems, and other computing services within an organization, usually to the exclusion of access
bby outsiders.
Alocal or restricted communication network, especially a private network created using World
Wide Web software.
ETHERNET:
Ethemet is a physical and data link layer technology for local area network.
IP UNTERNET PROTOCOL):
IP is the primary network protocol used on the intemet developed in the 1970 on the Intemet
‘and many other networks. IP support unique addressing for computers on a Network.
MIRUS:
‘A Computer virus is a software program which perform a malicious function that the other
programs or damages the disk. This virus replicates itself within a computer.
The first virus was developed by two brothers Basit Ali and Amjad Ali in 1986 at Lahore,
Pakistan.
. It infects the other programs
t damages the disk
It destroys the data of the disk
‘Sometimes it makes the PC Unusable
._ It increases the file size of the file on the disk but not affect its functioning.CHAPTER # 06
STORAGE DEVICES:
Storage devices are used to store information in the computer. The size of storage devices
is measured by Bytes, kilo Bytes, Mega Bytes and Giga Bytes etc. There are two main types,
‘of computer devices.
1. Intemal / Primary Storage Device.
2. Extemal / Secondary Storage Devices.
1. Internal / Primary Storage Device.
Primary storage devices are mounted on the same board where the Microprocessor is
places. These are divided into two types, such as RAM and ROM.
a) RAM:
RAM stands for Random Access Memory: it is a temporary memory of computer place the
given information is this memory. All programs are loaded into RAM. When a computer is tumed
off or power failure every information or data present in RAM is deleted. RAM is available in the
shape of memory chips which are mounted on the Main Board. We can do and remove a memory
chip from the main board very easily.
b) ROM:
ROM stands for READ-ONLY MEMORY. As the
name implies, we can just read the information present
in it, and cannot change it. thas a permanent nature. The
data stored in ROM remains in it even when we tum off
the computer or power failure. As we cannot change the
previous information stored in ROM, so at the time of
manufacturing vital information is saved in ROM by the
manufacturer. ROM is also available in the shape ofchips
which are mounted on the Main Board.
2. External / Secondary Storage Devices:
Extemal Storage Devices are used to store the massive amount of information.
There are a number of storage devices in the system unit. Some of which are.
a) Hard Drive b) Floppy Drive c) CD-ROM Drive d) Flash Memory Drive.
16a) Hard Drive:
A ‘Hard Drive” usually consists of several circular disk called platters on which data.
instructions and information are stored magnetically. These drives are enclosed in an air tight
‘scaled case, which are often housed inside the system unit. Hard drive developed by IBM, first
‘entered the computer world in 1973. It is also called the fixed Disk Drive. If a hard drive has
‘only one partition, the hard drive usually is called or designated Drive G: in operating system.It
itis divided into two or more partitions the First partition is designated Drive C: and the second
partition is Brive D: and so on. The Speed of platters in the hard drive spin is measuredRevolution
Per Minute (RPM). The Higher the RPM. The faster the hard drive can find and record data on
the platters.
b) Floppy Drive:
“Floppy Drive” is a device that can read and write on a floppy disk. It grips the flexible plastic
disk through the Centre Hub and rotates it inside a jacket. Thus, it makes reading or writing the
information on the disk possible. In the early 1970's IBM introduced the floppy diskas a new
‘ype of storage device. These floppy disks were B-inchs wide. Then come floppy disks which
were 5.25 inches wide. A 5.25 inches floppy disk could contain 1.2 MB of data today, the most
widely used floppy disk is 3.5 inches wide. This floppy disk can contain 1.44 MB of data If a
‘computer has one floppy drive, the drive usually is called drive A. it the computer has two floppy
drives, the second one usually is called Drive B.
¢) CD-ROM:
Today, another storage device found in many personal
computers is CD-ROM (Compact Disk-Read only
Memory). A CD-ROM drive uses laser technology to read
items on the CD Disks and to transmit the data,
instructions and information to another device. | can store
a lot of information and data. A single CD Disk can store
more than 750 MB of data. This is equal to an entireset of
encyclopedia or over 500 floppy disks. Thousands of
‘educational and entertaining titles are avaiable on CD
Disk. Large libraries of programs and of art are also
available on CD disk. We can move through topic covered
on a CD disk and find topics of our interest in a few
seconds.
4) COR:
(Compact Disk- Record able) is a technology that allows us to write data on a compact disk
using our own computer.
DVD — ROM (Digital Video Disk - ROM) is a technology that can be used to store video item
such as motions, pictures and movies. A DVD-ROM is an extremely high-capacity compact disk,
which has a storage capacity starting at 4.7 GB which equals over six CD-ROM disks.
v7e) Mobile Memory Disk.
Mobile Memory Disk is a portable and pocketable USB storage
device. IT allows us to share data between any notebookand
Laptop PC to the Desktop computer through USB port. USB port
is a special port to the backside of the system unit. It stands for
Universal Serial Bus port. We can store all of our mass text files,
presentations or multimedia files in this handy. Plug and Play
Mobile disk. It comes form 16 MB to 2GB of capacity and more.
f) CACHE MEMORY:
Moving data between RAM and the CPU's registers is one of the most time-
consuming operation's CPU must perform, simply because RAM is much
slower than the CPU. A partial solution to this problem is to include a cache
memory in the CPU. Cache (pronounced cash) memory is similar to RAM,
except that is extremely fast compared to normal memory and it is used in a
different way.CHAPTER #07
Monitor is an output device. When computer processes all types of information, it transmits
them onto the monitor screen. Computer's monitor looks like a television. We can see all kinds
of information on the Monitor.
There are two types of monitor:
. According to the Colors
According to the Screen Types
According to the Colors:
There are two types of monitor:
Monochrome Monitor
b) Color Monitor
a) Monochrome Monitor:
Monochrome monitor is just like a Black and White television. It is a single-color monitor.
Pictures cannot be so clearly seen on a monochrome monitor.
b) Color Monitor:
Color monitor can display different variety of colors. There are many types of color monitors.
a) CGA (Color Graphic Adapter / Array) 4 color:
b) EGA (Enhanced Graphic Adapter / Array) 16 colors.
c) VGA (Video Graphic Adapter / Array) 16-256 colors.
1d) SVGA (Super Video Graphic Adapter / Array) 256-65 536.
li, According to the Screen Types:
There are two types of monitor
a) Monitor with CRT Screen
b) Monitor with LCD Screen
a) Monitor with CRT Screen:
CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tube. It is an
electronic tube same as a TV screen. Singlecolor
CRT uses a single electron gun to send beam of
light while the color CRT uses three electron guns
to send Red, Green and Blue colors to display.
Mostly the monitor comes with these types of
screens. But these days LCDscreen monitors are
‘becoming more popular all over the world.b) Monitor with LCD Screen:
A flat panel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is
Used in monitor and small note book sized PC’s
like Laptop. The LCD screen looks like a digital
watch and calculator’s screen a special liquid is
placed between two plasters. The top plate is
clear and bottom is reflective LCD cells produce
‘an image on these plates.‘THE TRACKPAD:
The trackpad (also called a touchpad) is a stationary pointing device that many people find
less trying to use than a mouse or trackball. The movement of a finger across a small touch
surface is translated into pointer movement on the computer screen the touch-sensitive surface
may be only 1.5- or 2-inches square.
BAR CODE READERS:
The most widely used input device after the keyboard and mouse is bar code reader the most
‘common type of bar code reader is the flatbed model.
IMAGE SCANNER AND OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR):
The bar code reader is a special type of image scanner. Image scanners (also called
scanner) convert any printed image into electronic form by shining light onto the image and
sensing the intensity of the light’s reflection at every point.
PC PROJECTORS:
A PC projector is a portable (moveable) light projector that connects to a PC. This type of
projector is rapidly (ast) replacing traditional (used) slide projectors and overhead projectors
‘as a mean's for displaying presentations.
Many PC projectors provide the same resolutions and color levels as high-quality monitors,
but they project the image on a large screen. The newest PC projectors use digital light
processing to project bright, crisp images. A DLP projector uses a special microchip that contains
tiny mirrors to produce images.
INTEL PROCESSORS:
The intel Corporation is the largest manufacturer of microchips in the world. and is historically
the leading provider of chips for PCs. In fact, Intel invented the Microprocessor, the so-called
‘computer on a chip. in 1971 with the 4004 model. This led to the first microcomputers that began
‘appearing in 1975. Even so, inte's success in this marker was not guaranteed until 1981 when
IBM released the first IBM PC, which was based on the Intel 8088 microprocessor.
How many types of Processor?
There are many types of Processors:
1) INTEL PROCESSORS (1975)
2) RISC PROCESSORS (mid 1980)
3) Pre-Pentium Processors (1989)
4) CYRIX PROCESSORS (mid 1990)

13)MOTOROLA PROCESSORS (mid 1999)
Information Technoloay:
Information Technology or IT mainly deals with computer applications. The common work
‘environment today is totally dependent on computers. This has led to the need to develop and
consistently upgrade dedicated computer software like project management software, for a
‘number of related requirements. These include storage and protection of contents, processing
‘and transmitting of dedicated information and the secured retrieval of information, when andas
required. IT promotes computing technology, covering everything from installing applications to
developing databases.
Why is Information Technology Important?
All our work-related applications are now completely automated, thanks to the IT sector. IT
