Know About Windows Operating System

 

Windows Operating System-Learning and talking through the basics.

CHAPTER 1: 1.1 INTRODUCTION

This topic is set out to evaluate the study of introduction to computer.

It is structure as chapter one is introduction. In chapter two I will discuss the Historical development, in chapter three is the Period of Awareness including chapter four is the Introduction of Component and Finally chapter five is the summary of all chapters.

1.2 DEFINITION OF TERMS

Computer is an electronic device operates under the control of programs stored in its own memory unit. A computer is an electronic machine that processes raw data to give information output.

An electronic device that to accepts data as input, and transforms it under influence of special instructions called Programs to produce the desired output referred to as information.

1.3 EXPLAINATIONS

A computer has an internal memory, which stores & instructions temporarily awaiting processing, and even holds the intermediate result information before it is communicated to the recipients through the output devices. A computer as accept data in one form and produce it in other form. The data is normally held within the computer as it is being processed.

1.4 PROGRAM

A computer program is a set of related instructions written in the language of the computer & is used to make the computer perform a specific task or to direct the computer on what to do. A set of related instruction which specify how the data is to be process. A set of instruction used to guide a computer through a process.

Data is a collection of raw facts, figures or instructions that do not have much meaning to the user. Data may be in form of numbers, alphabets/letters or symbols, and can be processed to produce information.

1.5 TYPES OF DATA

Digital data is discrete in nature. It must be represented in form of numbers, alphabets or symbols for it to be processed by computer. Digital data is obtained by counting.E.g.1, 2, 3…

Analogue data is continuous in nature. It must be represented in physical nature in order to be processed by the computer. Analogue data is obtained by the measurement. E.g. pressure, temperature, humidity, length or currents etc.

1.6 SUMMARY

This chapter has provided concept and introduction to analysed the topic that present the explanation of Introduction of Computer.

 

CHAPTER 2: HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT

 

2.1 GENERATION OF COMPUTER

This period is often conveniently divided into the subsequent phases called computers generations: First generation computers 1940-1956, Second generation 1965-1963, Third generation 1964-1971, Fourth generation 1971-2010, Fifth generation 2010 to present sixth generation.

2.2 GENERATION OF COMPUTER CHANGE IN TECHNNNOLOGY

Generation in computer terminology is a change technology a computer is/was being used, initially, the generation term was used to distinguish between varying hardware technologies. Nowadays, generation includes both hardware and software, which together make up an entire computer system.

By the time, the computer generation was being categorized on the basis of hardware only, but the fifth generation technology also included software. Working with computers of this generation had high capability and are memory capacity.

In this generation present and beyond based on Artificial Intelligence (AI). Voice recognitions are currently available parallel processing and superconductors are helping to make it a reality. Goal is to develop devices that respond to natural language input capable of learning and self-organization.

2.3 SUMMARY

So by looking in this period of computer is often conveniently divided into the subsequent phase called computer generations. Generation in computer is change in technology a computer being used. By the time today we used the computer generation was being categorized on basis of hardware and software.

 

 

CHAPTER 3: PERIOD OF AWARENESS

 

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Computer awareness begins with recognizing the common concerns and possible fear individuals may experience upon their initial encounters with this rapidly expanding technology. Awareness is also dependent upon an individual’s specific knowledge of computer hardware (including micro, mini and mainframe computers and peripheral devices) and application such as information processing and information sharing.

Generally, computer is the combination of Hardware and Software which convert data into information. Computer operates on set instruction only, they cannot think as human being.

3.2 HARDWARE & SOFTWARE

Hardware is the collection of physical elements that constitute a system. It is a comprehensive term from all the physically parts of a computer. Eg.  Display screen, disk, keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, chip etc.

Software it is a set of programs and procedures. Software tells the hardware what to do and how to accomplish a task. Eg; web, browsers, word processors etc.

In this combination of Hardware & Software data as convert into information. Information when data is processed, organised, structured or presented in a given context so as to be careful. Computer operates on instruction only by data, instruction, information, and program is set of instructions given to in order to perform task.

3.3 SUMMARY

This chapter is generally about individual’s specific knowledge of computer Hardware. To increasing your knowledge and skills in these areas can be accomplished through various training resources with training and experience, your overall acceptance and appreciation of computerization will continue to rise.

 

 

CHAPTER 4: COMPONENT

 

4.1 INTRODUCTION

A component is an important constituent’s part of anything. In this case the components of computer are; Motherboard, Input Unit, Output Unit, Central Processing Unit(CPU), Graphics Processing Unit(GPU), Random Access Memory(RAM) and Storage Unit/Device.

4.2 MOTHERBOARD

A Motherboard is a circuit board through which all the different components of a computer communication and it keep everything together. The input and output devices are plugged into the motherboard for function.

4.3 INPUT UNIT

Computer responds to commands given to them in the form of numbers, alphabets, images, etc... Through input units or devices like-keyboard, language and that we understand or the one we have programmed the computer with.

4.4 OUTPUT UNIT

The result of the command we provide the computer with through the input device is called the output. The most used is the monitor since we give commands using the keyboard and after the processing, the result or outcome is displayed on the monitor.

4.5 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

The CPU is called the brain of computer since no action can take place without its permission and execution is the main processing unit. It is communicates with all the other components of the computer and has 3 components that help   in the smooth functioning of the CPU. The components of CPU are; CPU registration (memory), primary (memory) and secondary (memory).

4.6 GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT (GPU)

GPU is a specialized processor that is created to accelerate graphics processing. It can render many pieces of data making them ideal for machine learning, video editing, and gaming.

4.7 RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM)

RAM is a form of data storage that allows for faster read and writes operations. RAM is also volatile, which means that if the powers goes out, it loses all of the data it has stored.

4.8 STORAGE UNIT

This device stores all the data and the instructions required for processing. It keeps intermediate results of processing.

 

CHAPTER 5: SUMMARY

Computer is an electronic device that operates of programs and it has an internal memory, stores data & instructions temporaily. Today computer is useful for everyone, by individual’s specific knowledge of computer learning. To increasing the knowledge and skills in those areas of computer can be continued to appreciate rise your computerization skills.
