Study Notes

Computer Components

  • Power Supply Unit (PSU): Essential for supplying power to all PC components. Crucial for stable power to sensitive parts. Quality is important.
  • Motherboard (Mainboard): Central hub connecting all components. Provides various ports (USB, audio). Available in different form factors (ITX, Micro-ATX, ATX) influencing case, PSU, and expansion options..
  • Central Processing Unit (CPU): Brain of the computer, performing calculations. Speed is a key factor. AMD and Intel are common manufacturers, alongside motherboard compatibility.
  • Random Access Memory (RAM): Main storage for active programs. Located near the CPU socket on the motherboard for speed.
  • Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): Handles graphics display. Important for gamers and image/video editors. Can be integrated into the CPU in newer PCs. Graphic memory size and speed influence performance.
  • Hard Disk Drive (HDD): Storage for data. Older, mechanical drives.
  • Solid State Drive (SSD): Faster and quieter storage than HDDs. Lacks moving parts

Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Objectivity

  • AI Objectivity: AI programs are not inherently objective. Decisions are influenced by training data and algorithms. These contain biases that can reflect existing societal prejudices. Example: Using historical hiring data to develop biased AI programs.

AI Types

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI): Mimics human intelligence to solve tasks.
  • Machine Learning (ML): Algorithms learn from data without explicit programming.
  • Deep Learning (DL): Advanced form of ML using neural networks for self-improvement.

Search Engines

  • Search Engine Function: Finding information via key words that the search engine uses to assess quality and relevance to your keywords.
  • AI in Search Engines: Search engines use AI to personalize results, adjust to user preferences, and rate the quality of search results based on user input
  • Data in Search Engines: Search engines learn from your prior search behaviour to determine relevant and appropriate results, so that they are personalized based on preferences.

Input, Processing, Output (IPO)

  • Input: Data entered into the system.
  • Processing: Data is manipulated and organized by computer systems for the results.
  • Output: Results of data processing given to user.
  • EVA Principle: Describes the fundamental process of computers consisting of receiving input/information, processing the information, and then creating/ outputting the final result, known as an output.

General Computer Characteristics

  • Adaptive Features: Systems that change behavior to better meet the needs of the user.
