BEING A DIGITAL CITIZEN CS100 WEEK 1: INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER SYSTEMS MJ GNILO College of Computer and Information Science Mapua Malayan Colleges Laguna Learning Objectives At the end of this lesson, students must be able to: Describe what a computer is, its components, major terminologies, and its applications in society, academic, and professional scenes. Get familiarized with the history of computers. College of Computer and Information Science MAPUA MALAYAN COLLEGES LAGUNA Learning Objectives At the end of this lesson, students must be able to: Get familiarized with common social and ethical issues such as the Digital Divide, being a Digital Citizen, and their moral, legal, and ethical responsibilities, and relate them to local situations. College of Computer and Information Science MAPUA MALAYAN COLLEGES LAGUNA What does it mean to be a Digital Citizen? Computers BASIC DEFINITION a machine that allows a user to perform calculations or computations. Computer or not? Something being digital does not mean it’s a computer. What makes a computer, computer? Input: Receives data (keyboard, mouse, camera). Output: Displays or produces information (monitor, printer, speakers). Processing: Manipulates data (CPU). Storage: Saves data for later use (hard drive, SSD). Programmability: Can be instructed to perform tasks (software, algorithm, logic). Why is this a computer then? Computers are everywhere The moment we wake up and we lay down in bed – we face computers. Let’s track your daily routine – count the instances whenever you encounter a computer Can you live without a computer? Why or why not? Computers in Academic Use To check Learning Management Systems (Blackboard Learn) To read reference material To communicate with peers or mentors To write academic or scholarly materials Computers in Professional Use Use spreadsheet for budget tracking + performing other heavy-duty computations Transfer information from one location to another Conduct virtual meetings with clients and other stakeholders Computers in Society Weather Forecasting Entertainment / Gaming Banking and Finance Accessibility for PWD Accessing Information Healthcare and Public Safety Job Search Others College of Computer and Information Science MAPUA MALAYAN COLLEGES LAGUNA Where and when did computers begin?  HISTORY OF COMPUTING Ancient and Classical Era The Abacus, Sumer (ca. 2700 – 2300 BC) The Abacus, China (ca. 1050 – 771 BC) The Antikythera Mechanism, Greece (ca. 100 BC) Sumerian Abacus Chinese Abacus Antikythera Mechanism The 19th Century The Analytical Engine, Babbage & Lovelace (1837), Swade (2002) Arithmometer, Payen (1887) The 20th Century and Now Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), Beck & Snyder, 1945 Universal Automatic Computer (UNIVAC), Eckert & Mauchly, 1951 Age of Transistors, 1950s Age of Integrated Circuits, 1960s Age of Microprocessors, 1970s ENIAC Transistor Computers An Apple Integrated Circuit Board Microprocessors The 20th Century and Now (cont.) Apple II Computer, Apple, Inc., Jobs & Wozniak, 1978 Age of Personal and Ubiquitous Computers 1980s – 2020s Age of Quantum Computers, 2030s The computers that we know today Google’s Quantum Computer, Sycamore What do you think is the future for quantum computing? Moore’s Law Observation by Gordon Moore (1929- 2023) Number of transistors on a microchip doubles roughly every two years Not a strict law of physics, but a historical trend As a discipline, we have come so far – and we will go farther. Despite this, progress did not come without any issues.  ISSUES IN COMPUTING THE CONCEPT Digital Literacy Is the act of effective use of digital tools and resources. Critically evaluating digital information and media. Observing safe and responsible online behavior. Being digitally literate makes you a Digital Citizen. THE ISSUE Digital Divide 21st Century Skills require Digital Literacy But despite how progressive society is, there are areas that are being left out This results in slow progress, overall leaving a sector / community behind everyone else Can be linked to geographical, political, economic, and other factors / barriers. Digital Divide Factors / Barriers Geographical: It’s impossible to supply power into some areas in the Philippines due to their remote location (islands, etc.) Political: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) restricts internet access and computer use to privileged individuals Economic: Some people can’t afford to purchase computers or have decent internet access. Educational: Some cannot even read nor write, what more of using a computer THE CONCEPT Cybersecurity An act of protecting computer systems and networks from digital attacks. Safeguarding confidential data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. Implementing security measures to reduce risks and vulnerabilities. Ensuring business continuity and resilience against cyber threats. THE ISSUE Cybercrime Cybercrimes are online or computer- based illegal actions. This includes actions such as hacking, identity theft, and spreading malware to steal data or disrupt systems, to name a few. THE CONCEPT Data Privacy Protection of personal information from unauthorized access. Individuals control how their data is collected, used, and shared. Responsible handling of data throughout its lifecycle. THE ISSUE Data Privacy Violations A data privacy violation occurs when personal information is collected, used, or disclosed without proper authorization or consent. Example: A social media platform shares user data with third parties without explicit permission. As an individual, how would you protect your own data privacy? Q&A
