INTRODUCTION TO IT and COMPUTING A computer is a data-processing machine. In other words, a machine for the manipulation of data to present information. The word “computer” is used today as an abbreviation for general-purpose stored-program electronic digital computer. Sounds like a mouthful, right? These attributes refer to the following properties: General-purpose computers may be applied to solve any solvable problem.

Programs are written by us humans. All modern computers have their programs stored along with the data in a memory (called the storage). These stored-program computers have been developed as step-by-step instructions that the computer will follow to solve a problem. The data processing units of computers are built of electronic components, which permit speeds approaching a million, even billion elementary operations per second for some machines, and even higher speeds for others. Digital computers have overshadowed analog machines. In analog computers, a physical process is used to imitate the computation. Digital computers use symbols as such for computation. COMPUTER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE In programming, a computer user does not have to deal directly with the physical devices (hardware) of the computer system. Instead, special service programs, stored in the computer memory, provide an interface between the user and the machine. These programs, called systems software, simplify the task of the programmer and the application software written by the user and control the use of the hardware. 1. HARDWARE – a computer system includes several functionally separate devices that constitute its hardware: the central processor to which the instructions are directed, the memory system where data and instructions are stored, and input/output devices for communication with the environment of the system. 2. SOFTWARE – the bridge between computer users and hardware is systems software or operating system, a set of programs that belongs to the configuration of a given computer system and facilitates its use. The programs written by computer users to obtain solutions to their problems are called application software.

LESSON WRAP-UP FAQs 1. What will be the passing grade for this subject? a) Passing grade will be 60 which is equivalent to 3.0. 2. What should I do if I missed to turn in my activities? a) Don’t worry if you’ve missed turning in your activities, just turn it in and inform your teacher why you have missed it. Thinking about Learning a) Mark your place in the work tracker which is simply a visual to help you track how much work you have accomplished and how much work there is left to do.
