It is also important for us study the different types of computer to better understand the concept. Computers have developed so fast because of their usefulness. They now appear in various sizes, shapes, functions, and power and are used for a variety of purposes and needs. Planning is the process of thinking about the activities required to achieve a desired goal. Like any other worthwhile endeavor, designing and building a new PC begins with planning. Proper planning prevents rushed trips to the computer store in the middle of the assembly process. TOPIC: TYPES OF COMPUTERS Objectives: 1. Identify the different types of computers. 2. Classify the different types of computers according to size and power. 3. List the different types of computer. LEARNING CONTENT: TYPES OF COMPUTERS A. Based on Principles of Operation: There are three different types of computers according to the structure, speed and architecture. Those three types of computers are: Analog Computers Digital Computers Hybrid Computers  Analog Computer is computing device that works on continuous range of values. The results given by the analog computers will only be approximate since they deal with quantities that vary continuously. It generally deals with physical variables such as pressure, temperature, speed, and voltages. Examples: Thermometer – it measures the length of a mercury column continuously. Traditional Clock – the needle of clock covers the distance Polish Analog Computer Digital Computer operates on digital data such as numbers. It uses binary number system in which there are only two digits 0 and 1. Each one is called a bit. It can perform arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and also logical operations. Digital computer can give more accurate and faster results and most of the computers available today are digital computers. Examples: Accounting machines Calculators  Hybrid Computer combines the desirable features of analog and digital computers. It is mostly used for automatic operations of complicated physical process and machines. It has the speed of analog and the accuracy of digital computer. Examples: In the hospital’s ICU (Intensive Care Unit), analog quality controls the temperature of the room, digital quality informs the doctor about the patient’s temperature, blood pressure and other vital signs. Devices used in petrol pump. B. Based on Configuration (Size and Capability) Computers are classified in various ways. First, they differ according to size and power. Computers can be supercomputers, mainframes, minicomputers and microcomputers. Supercomputer Supercomputer is the largest and most powerful computers. It is also the most expensive because it is custom-made for the needs of governments and international groups and companies. Supercomputers are used for very special purpose and engineering applications, including analyzing data from space probes, researching nuclear energy, creating weather maps and weather forecasting, and finding oil. Examples: GRAPE (Gravity Pipe) – used for gravitational computations Anton – used for studying molecular dynamics: Cray XT5 – used for various applications that need great ability to "Thunderbird Supercomputer" by SandiaLabs process information. One of the world’s most is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 powerful supercomputers. Mainframe Computer Mainframe computer is a large computer that can process data at a very high rate of speed. It is mainly used by big businesses and companies to process and compute large, bulk amounts of data and handle millions of transactions. Examples: Bank transactions Census and consumer statistics Airline ticketing "Mainframe" by guiskatenator i s Large management and payroll needs licensed under CC BY-NC 2.0 Minicomputer Minicomputer is another type of multi- use machine that is smaller, less expensive and less powerful than mainframe. This is used in mid-range businesses and companies for their processing needs. Minicomputers have been replaced by network servers, which can also do multi- user and related applications. "DEC PDP-8" by nicki-alex is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 Server Server provides services to another computer program and its user, also known as the client. It is powerful than normal computers. Server hardware also differs from desktop hardware in terms of its form factor. Microcomputer Microcomputer is probably the most popular kind of computers. The invention of microprocessor (single chip CPU) gave birth to the much cheaper microcomputers. They are further classified into different types: TYPES OF MICROCOMPUTERS 1. Desktop Computers Today the Desktop computers are the most popular computer systems. These desktop computers are also known as personal computers or simply PCs. They are usually easier to use, upgrade and more affordable. Users can perform several complicated task in few times without getting any hindrance. PCs are normally intended for individual users for their word processing and other small application requirements. 2. Laptop/Notebook Computers Laptop computers are portable computers. They are lightweight computers with a thin screen. They are also called as notebook/netbook computers because of their small size and designed like a stylish briefcase. It is battery operated computers that are very popular with travelers. These micro computers are more expensive than desktop computers because in which various small sizes of components are in built. Its best advantage is portability.  3. Tablet Computers Tablet computers are handheld portable devices along with touch screen interface, and they are smaller in size than notebook devices but bigger to Smartphone. In which, users can perform both activities (Input/Output) on its LCD screen and can be run several applications such word processing and others. 4. Smartphones Smartphone is a touch screen mobile phone that is capable to perform various advance functions similar to computer such as installs OS (operating system), download different applications, accessibility to internet, and more activities. 5. PDA Computers PDA stands for “Personal Digital Assistant”. It is a handheld device with great portability as well as smaller in size similar to tablet, palmtop and smartphone. PDA is able to make communication with other computers like laptops, desktops and other through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, radio beams, infrared (IR), radio waves, and LAN cable. Commonly used for maintaining the record to appointment calendars, to-do lists, take down notes, and address books. 6. Game Consoles Game console is a special kind of computer primarily used for playing video games. It is a device that outputs a video signal or visual image to display a video game that one or more people can play. It also allows non-gaming activities such watching videos, viewing pictures, or browsing the Internet.  7. Modern TVs Modern televisions (Internet TVs) are now having their own applications and interactive features. These features allow users to stream music, movies online or browse the Internet, and view photos. 8. Wearable Computers A wearable computer is any small technology device capable of storing and processing data that will be worn on the body. These are designed for accessibility and convenience, as well as improvements to workplaces by making information rapidly and readily available to the wearer. ACTIVITY #1: A.

Identify the different factors to consider in planning and designing a PC. 2. Plan and design a personal computer. 3. Give importance with the essential components when designing a PC. LEARNING CONTENT: Planning and Designing a Personal Computer There are many factors to be considered when designing a homebuilt computer. The most important among these are: Factors to consider when planning a personal computer The first step in planning your new PC is to set a budget -- decide how much you can Cost afford to spend on the entire project. Later on, you can use this budget to help you make decisions about individual components. How much is your budget allotted? If you only want to run office applications, surf the Internet, and other low-pressure tasks, then you can save a bundle by selecting components that are low-cost but more advanced. This is especially true of processors, which tend to drop very steep in price once the next-fastest version of the same chip is released. On the contrary, if you are into gaming, Intended audio, photo or video editing, music composition, Use or other high-resource computing, you will want to get as close to the bleeding edge as your budget allows you when choosing a CPU, RAM, motherboard, etc. You'll also want the biggest What do you plan on doing hard drive(s) you can afford, and will probably with the machine? want to use SATA for faster data transfer. A kind of any computer components you buy will come with drivers for most recent versions of Windows (but check the box to make Operating sure). System If you are planning to use Linux, BSD, or some other non-Microsoft operating system, and then make certain that your components will work How much processing power with that system. Most Linux distributions, for do you need? example, maintain lists of hardware that will work with their distribution. There are also newsgroups devoted to hardware issues on specific operating systems. As you begin to lay out your new PC, it is better to check the reviews, newsgroups, and message boards to see what others think of the Reputation components you are considering. What people are saying about the product you are purchasing? Hardware advances that make a component forefront this year may just almost satisfy the minimum system requirements for Lifespan software released a few years from now. If you can afford it, selecting the most current components available may enable your computer How long do you want the with an extra year or so of life. computer to last? Most computer fans have their own "favorite" companies, like NVidia video cards and Creative sound cards. But it doesn't mean that the others are no good. It so happens that most found out that NVidia and Creative products are more durable, high-performing, and dependable. Others also like Netgear network cards and Plextor optical drives, for the same reasons. Personal Some people would disagree with others Preferences opinions, and that's fine. But when you build a machine for your own use, you tend to choose hardware from companies that you like -- companies whose products has a good What are your personal experience with. That is your right to choose preferences when it comes to which companies' parts will go into your computer? computer, because It's your machine. If you decide to design your computer Compatibility yourself, check the newsgroups and message boards to see if anyone's had problems with the particular combinations you've selected.
