INTRODUCTIO N TO COMPUTING School of Computer Studies and  Intended Learning Outcomes 1. Identify the key roles of computing. 2. Articulate the role and importance of computing profession in local and global communities. Introduction to Computing As an IT/CS student, what system do you have in mind to develop in the future related to AI, IoT or robotics? Introduction to Computing  What is Computing? Computing is any goal- oriented activity requiring, benefiting from, or creating computing machinery. It includes the study and experimentation of algorithmic processes and the development of both hardware and software. Introduction to Computing  Computing…. deals with the systematic study of algorithmic processes, which are used to describe and transform information. Is the study or use of computers to process data or perform calculations. Introduction to Computing  Importance of Computing The Importance of Computer Technology in Everyday Life is undeniable. 1. Computer Technology in Food - Farmers use innovations in computer technology to determine the best time to plant, fertilize, harvest and sell crops. Introduction to Computing  Importance of Computing The Importance of Computer Technology in Everyday Life is undeniable. 2. Computer Technology in Services- The importance of computer technology in the services industry is increasing. Computer technology includes any machines that receive commands and perform calculations or services accordingly. Introduction to Computing  Importance of Computing The Importance of Computer Technology in Everyday Life is undeniable. 3. Computer Technology in Entertainment - Major motion pictures and television programs use some form of visual, audio and animation effects in their production. Introduction to Computing  Importance of Computing The Importance of Computer Technology in Everyday Life is undeniable. 4. Computer Technology in Communication- People correspond with friends, family, acquaintances and business associates through social media, email, texting and instant messaging. Introduction to Computing  Importance of Computing The Importance of Computer Technology in Everyday Life is undeniable. 5. Computer Technology in Education- A computer is a useful tool for advancing educationally in traditional and non-traditional ways. Colleges and universities offer online courses for adults who are looking to obtain a degree without quitting their job Introduction to Computing  Importance of Computing The Importance of Computer Technology in Everyday Life is undeniable. 6. Computer Technology in Transportation- Certain safety features or luxuries, such as airbags, cruise control, anti-lock brakes and automatic transmission, all rely on computer technology to function. Introduction to Computing What are the types of computing? A computer system uses many devices, arranged in different ways to solve many problems. This constitutes a computing environment where many computers are used to process and exchange information to handle multiple issues. Introduction to Computing What are the types of computing? Introduction to Computing 1. Personal Computing Environment In the personal computing environment, there is a single computer system. All the system processes are available on the computer and executed there. The different devices that constitute a personal computing environment are laptops, mobiles, printers, computer systems, scanners etc. Introduction to Computing  2. Time Sharing Computing 1. Environment The time-sharing computing environment allows multiple users to share the system Example simultaneously. UNIX server OS. Linux server OS. 2. Each user is provided a time slice Windows NT server. and the processor switches Windows 2000 rapidly among the users server. according to it. Because of this, each user believes that they are the only ones using the system. Introduction to Computing  3. Client Server Computing 1. Environment In client-server computing, the client requests a resource and the server provides that resource. 2. A server may serve multiple clients at the same time while a client is in contact with only one server. 3. Both the client and server usually communicate via a computer network but sometimes they may reside in the same system. Introduction to Computing 4. Distributed Computing Environment 1. A distributed computing environment contains multiple nodes that are physically separate but linked together using the network. 2. All the nodes in this system communicate with each other and handle processes in tandem. 3. Each of these nodes contains a small part of the distributed operating system software. Introduction to Computing  5. Cloud Computing Environment 1. The computing is moved away from individual computer systems to a cloud of computers in cloud computing environment. 2. The cloud users only see the service being provided and not the internal details of how the service is provided. 3. This is done by pooling all the computer resources and then managing them using a software. Introduction to Computing  6. Cluster Computing Environment 1. Cluster computing is a collection of tightly or loosely connected computers that work together so that they act as a single entity. 2. The connected computers execute operations all together thus creating the idea of a single system. 3. The clusters are generally connected through fast local area networks (LANs) Introduction to Computing  What Is the Purpose of the The Computer? purpose of the computer is to : perform calculations. store information retrieve data and process information. A computer has programmed data or computer language that tells the computer how to fulfill its purpose. Introduction to Computing  When do you use a computer? A.
