3. Understanding the Computer
A computer is a machine that, under a program’s direction, performs four basic operations: input, processing, output, and storage.
A program is a list of instructions that tells a computer how perform the four operations.

4. Input The first operation.
The computer performs arithmetic or comparison operations on data.
Electrical impulses representing words, numbers, images, or sounds.

5. Input Input is any data entered into the computer’s memory.

Input is any data entered into the computer’s memory.
Types of input include:
Data– Unorganized information (words, numbers, images, or sounds) that the computer converts to meaningful information.
Software– Programs transferred from storage devices to the computer’s memory.
Commands– Instructions that tell the computer what to do.
Responses– Prompts requiring user feedback.

6. Input Devices: Giving Commands
Keyboard & Mouse
Digital Cameras
Touch Screen
Wand Reader
Stylus Pen
Microphone
Input devices are types of hardware that enable you to get programs, data, commands, and responses into the computer’s memory.

7. Keyboard
Copyright © 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc
The keyboard allows the computer user to enter words, numbers, punctuation, symbols, and special function commands into the computer’s memory.

8. Types of Keyboards
Enhanced / Extended Keyboard
Ergonomic Keyboard
Enhanced or Extended keyboard– Typically 101 keys laid out in the QWERTY fashion; connected to the computer by a serial cable.
Cordless keyboard– Uses infrared or radio wave signals.
Ergonomic keyboard– Designed to help prevent cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) or damage to nerve tissues in the wrist and hand due to repeated motion.

9. Input Devices Keyboard Mouse– pointing device
Microphone–speech-recognition
Digital Cameras

10. Pointing Devices
Pointing devices enable the user to control the movements of an on-screen pointer.
They enable the user to initiate commands and to respond to the active program.
They are used to provide input in graphics programs.

11. Types of Mice
Cordless Mouse
PS/2 Mouse
PS/2– Most commonly used; connects to PS/2 port or USB port.
Serial– Not commonly used; connects to a serial port.
Bus– Obsolete; connects to an expansion card.
Cordless– Uses infrared signals; must be within sight of the receiving port.

12. How a Mouse Works Mouse buttons enable the user to initiate actions.
Clicking (left-, right-, or double-clicking) allows the user to select an item on the screen or open a program or dialog box.
Click and drag– Holding down the left mouse button and moving the mouse enables the user to move objects on the screen.
A mechanical mouse uses a rotating ball to position the pointer on the screen.
An optical mouse uses laser light to determine the pointer position.

13. Other Types of Pointing Devices
Touch Screen
Foot Mouse
Touch Pad
Joystick
Trackball
Pointing Stick
Pen

14. Speech Recognition
Speech recognition is a type of input in which the computer recognizes words spoken into a microphone.
Special software and a microphone are required.
Latest technology uses continuous speech recognition where the user does not have to pause between words.

17. Processing 4 + 16 = 20 728 > 546 Arithmetic Logic
The second operation.
The computer performs arithmetic or comparison (logical) operations on the data.
Performed at a very high speed.

18. Output The third operation.
The computer shows the results of the processing operation in a way people can understand.
Data is processed into information.

19. Output Devices
Output devices are peripheral devices that enable us to view or hear the computer’s processed data.
Visual output– Text, graphics, and video.
Audio output– Sounds, music, and synthesized speech.

20. Visual Display System Video adapter– Responsible for video quality.
A visual display system is composed of two parts:
Video adapter– Responsible for video quality.
Monitor– Displays the video adapter’s output.

21. Monitor
A monitor is a peripheral device which displays computer output on a screen.
Screen output is referred to as a soft copy.

22. Types of Monitors
Cathode-ray tube (CRT)– Resemble televisions; use picture tube technology; inexpensive, but they take up desk space and use a lot of energy.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD or flat-panel)– Cells sandwiched between two transparent layers form images; used for notebook computers, PDAs, cellular phones, and personal computers; expensive, and they take up less desk space and use less energy than CRT monitors.
Types of LCD monitors:
Passive-matrix LCD
Active-matrix LCD
Gas plasma display
Field emission displays
CRT
LCD

23. Monitor Specifications
Copyright © 2003 Prentice Hall, Inc
Screen size– The diagonal measurement of the screen surface in inches (15, 17, 19, 21).
Resolution– The sharpness of the images on the screen determined by the number of horizontal and vertical pixels that the screen can display (800x600, 1024x768, 1600x1200).
Dot pitch– The distance between each pixel on the screen measured in millimeters (.22mm, .25mm, .28mm).
Refresh rate– The speed at which the screen is redrawn (refreshed) measured in Hertz (Hz) (60Hz, 75Hz).

24. Printers
A printer is a peripheral device that produces a physical copy or hard copy of the computer’s output.
Two basic types:
Impact printer
Nonimpact printer

25. Impact Printer
Impact printer
Dot-matrix
An impact printer is a printer that has a print head that contacts the paper to produce a character.
It uses ink ribbon.
It is noisy, produces Near-letter quality printouts, and is not commonly used today.
Dot-matrix– Pins are used to make characters.

26. Nonimpact Printer
Laser
Inkjet
The nonimpact printer is the most commonly used printer today.
It works quietly compared to an impact printer.
Two types of nonimpact printers:
Inkjet printer– Also called bubble-jet; makes characters by inserting dots of ink onto paper; letter-quality printouts; cost of printer is inexpensive but ink is costly.
Laser printer works like a copier; quality determined by dots per inch (dpi) produced; color printers available; expensive initial costs but cheaper to operate per page.

27. Multifunction Printer
A multifunction printer combines the functions of a nonimpact printer, scanner, fax machine, and copier in one unit.

28. Plotter
A plotter is a printer that uses a pen that moves over a large revolving sheet of paper.
It is used in engineering, drafting, map making, and seismotology.

29. Audio Output
Audio output is the ability of the computer to output sound.
Two components are needed:
Sound card– Plays contents of digitized recordings.
Speakers– Attach to sound card.
Digital formats include WAV, MPEG, MP3, and MIDI.

30. Storage The fourth operation.
The computer saves the data or output so that it can be used again later.

31. Memory vs. Storage
RAM Memory
Hard Drive
Storage, also known as mass media or auxiliary storage, refers to the various media on which a computer system can store data.
Storage devices hold programs and data in units called files.
Files are stored in directories or folders.
Memory is a temporary workplace where the computer transfers the contents of a file while it is being used.

32. Why is storage necessary?
Retains data when the computer is turned off.
Is cheaper than memory.
Plays an important role during startup.
Plays an input role when starting applications.
Is needed for output.
Devices can hold a large amount of data.

33. Storage Devices Storage devices are:
Hardware that is capable of retaining data when the electricity is turned off.
Able to read (retrieve) data from a storage medium (disk/tape).
Able to write (record) data to a storage medium.

34. How Computers “Think” Computers use algorithms to solve a problem.
Algorithms are step-by-step procedures.

35. The Information Processing Cycle
Input Processing Output Storage
The computer performs the four basic operations (input, processing, output, and storage).
Two types of processing cycles:
Batch processing– A lockstep sequence used by older computers.
Interactive processing– Initiating several information processing cycles in a single session; used by modern computers.

36. Computer System
Software
Hardware
