    Basics of Computer

    • A computer is an electronic device that receives, stores, processes, and outputs data.
    • It performs a wide range of tasks, from simple calculations to complex artificial intelligence.
    • Computers consist of hardware (CPU, memory, storage, input/output devices, peripherals) and software (operating system, applications).

    What is Computer?

    • A computer transforms data into meaningful information.
    • It processes input data according to instructions given by the user to produce output.
    • Function: accepts, stores, processes, retrieves stored data, and prints the result.
    • Computer stands for: Common Operating Machine, Purposely Used for Technological Educational Research

    Input and Output Devices

    • Input devices allow users to enter data into the computer (e.g., mouse, keyboard, joystick, microphone).
    • Output devices display or give results after processing the input (e.g., printers, monitors, speakers).

    Computer Devices

    • Input Devices: Keyboard, Mouse, Scanner, Joystick, OMR, OCR
    • Output Devices: Monitor, Printer, Speaker

    Central Processing Unit (CPU)

    • The CPU is the "brain" of the computer.
    • It handles all data processing operations.
    • It stores data, intermediate results, and instructions (programs).
    • It controls the operations of all computer parts.

    Memory Unit

    • Stores data and instructions for processing.
    • Stores intermediate and final processing results before releasing them to output devices.
    • All inputs and outputs pass through the main memory.

    Control Unit

    • Manages the transfer of data and instructions among computer units.
    • Coordinates all computer units.
    • Obtains and interprets instructions from memory.
    • Directs computer operations and communication with input/output devices for data transfer.
    • Does not process or store data.

    ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)

    • Subsection of the CPU.
    • Consists of an Arithmetic Section and a Logic Section.
    • Memory types: Primary (main) memory and Secondary memory

    Primary Memory (Main Memory)

    • Semiconductor memory.
    • Often called main memory.
    • Volatile memory (data lost when power is off).
    • The computer's working memory.
    • Faster than secondary memory.
    • Examples: RAM and ROM

    Secondary Memory

    • Magnetic and optical memories.
    • Backup memory.
    • Non-volatile memory (data persists when power is off).
    • Used for data storage in computers.
    • Slower than primary memory.
    • Examples: disk, CD-ROM, DVD

    Characteristics of Computer Systems

    • Speed: Executes calculations faster and more accurately than humans. Measured in GigaHertz and MegaHertz. Enables fast processing of millions of instructions per second.
    • Automation: Automates tasks after instructions (programmed); replacing human workers in many jobs; achieved using scripts, programs, and batch processing.
    • Versatility: Performs different tasks with the same speed and accuracy; examples: music listening, PowerPoint, Wordpad, website design.
    • Diligence: Works continuously for extended periods; makes millions of calculations per second, without fatigue or errors.
    • Reliability: Consistent and accurate results for similar input data sets; output depends entirely on input.
    • Accuracy: Performs computations and operations with low error rates; inaccuracies are often caused by incorrect data input by humans.

    Introduction to MS Office
