    Study Notes

    Information Systems Overview

    • Input and Output: Submitting data for processing is termed "Input," while the processed result is "Output."
    • Information System: A collection of components that includes input, processing, storage, and output of information.

    Importance of Data Storage

    • Data storage is crucial in information systems, allowing both input and stored data to generate useful information.
    • The main functions of an information system are to receive, process, store data, and provide results as needed.

    Example of Information Systems

    • ATM (Automatic Teller Machine): Processes inserted bank cards to provide account balance information.
    • Fingerprint Reader: Records attendance by capturing the time of arrival and departure.

    QR Codes

    • QR codes can be scanned by smartphones, leading to more information accessible online; commonly used in advertisements and products.

    Medical Equipment Examples

    • ECG Machine: Monitors heartbeats by recording electrical impulses produced during heart activity.
    • Cardiac Screening Machine: Displays the heart's physiology and diagnoses issues, such as narrowing of veins.
    • EEG Machine: Records brain activity through electrical probes, working when the patient is either awake or asleep.
    • Blood Sugar Testing Machine: Analyzes blood samples to determine glucose levels.
    • Blood Pressure Measuring Machine: Worn as a wristband, it measures blood pressure during rest and activities.

    Human Resource Management Technologies

    • Fingerprint Scanners and Card Readers: Streamline attendance tracking, salary preparation, and leave record maintenance for employees, utilized in both private and public sectors.

    E-Banking

    • Convenience of E-Banking: Allows cash withdrawals through ATMs, bill payments, and inter-banking transactions at any time and place.

    Online Shopping

    • Electronic Commerce: Enables consumers to buy goods and services online, providing 24/7 access and home delivery options, enhancing convenience and reducing travel.

    ICT in Transport

    • CCTV: Monitors road traffic, accidents, and illegal activities, allowing for active management responses.
    • Traffic Light Control System: Automates traffic lights at intersections to reduce accidents.
    • Parking Identification Placard: Uses sensors to grant access to pre-registered vehicles, preventing traffic congestion at entry points.

    ICT in Entertainment

    • Proliferation of ICT devices allows individuals to:
      • Listen to music and watch preferred TV content online.
      • Connect with friends via social media.
      • Access high-definition video and educational content.
      • Read e-books and store personal photographs digitally.

    Generational Evolution of Computers

    • First Generation (1940-1956):
      • Utilized vacuum tubes and machine language.
      • Characteristics included high heat generation, slow processing, and large size.
      • Notable systems: ENIAC, EDVAC, EDSAC, UNIVAC, IBM 701.
