I. Basics of Computers
1.1. Introduction
What are computers? What they do? Why would you want to use one?How they evolved? What should you know before using them? Where
they can be used? so on!
Yeah,so m any quest ions in th e mind o f a lay m an and, even, a novice!
Thus, our Course is designed expertly for a beginner to manage an office on his own.
Come on Lets Learn!
1.2. What are Computers?
Computers are machines that perform tasks or calculations according to a set of instructions,
or programs.The word computer is a derived from the termcompute.A computer is electronic equipment, which is capable of creating solutions by
performing complex processing of information without manual intervention and thattoo at a tremendous speed.
Thus, the computer is a general purpose machine that processes data according to a set ofinstructions that are stored internally either temporarily or permanently.
There are various definitions for a computer. It may be defined as above or as any of thefollowing:
A programmable machine that inputs, processes and outputs data.
An electronic device that stores, retrieves and processes data, and can beprogrammed with instructions.
A machine that accepts input, processes it according to specified rules, and
produces output.
Thus the basic stepsin computing are
Input
Process ORProcessing
Output
Store and Retrieve
Now , you got an ideaWhat the computersare!Isnt it?So, lets learn What they do? andWhy you would want to use it?

1.3. What the computer does? Why we need it?
After the evolution of computer, within a short span of time, the entire gamut ofhuman life has changed at an overwhelming pace.
Be it business, academic, defence strategy, budgeting, research, engineering,medicine or space exploration, computers have established themselves as anindispensable part.
Computers play an important role in human lives. The primary purpose of using acomputer is to make life easier.
In the workplace, many people use computers to keep records, analyze data,do research, and manage projects.
The growing popularity of computers has been turned into account by theBusiness World.
In the Academics, the subject of computers is a mandatory part of manyregular courses.
In the field of Medicine, the history of each patient is storedby freeing the doctors
from the burden of storing bundles of paper.
At home, computers are useful for everyone. You can use computers to findinformation, store pictures and music, play games, and communicate with others.
Note The computer commonly used in homes or offices is popularly referred to as
a PCPersonal Computer.
A computer is connected to the Internet (anetwork that links computers around the world)for communicating others (email ElectronicMail), chatting to them(IMInstant Messaging),finding information(Searching), etc.
In the employment arena also, computers haveexercised their influence. The ability to work withcomputers is a necessary pre-requisite for mostof the present job profiles.
1.4. How they are evolved?
After EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer), in 1946, ENIAC (ElectronicNumerical Integrator and Computer)was the first generalpurpose electronic computer.
Physically, ENIACwas enormous, weighing more than 27,000 kilograms andfilling a large room. To process data, ENIAC used about 18,000 vacuum tubes,each the size of light bulb.

1.5. What should we learn first?
We may have considerable expertise only if we learn about the hardwareand software. Computerswork through an interaction of hardwareand software.
1.5.1. Hardware
The computer and all equipment attached to it are called the hardware.
(or)
The physical components of a computer constitute thehardware.
Hardwarerefers to the parts of a computer that you can see and touch,including the case and everything inside it.
The most important piece of hardware is a tiny rectangular chip inside
your computer called the M icroprocessor, which is in
Central Processing Unit (CPU). Itsthe brain of the computer the part
that tr anslates instructions and perf orms calcul ations.
Hardwareitems such as your monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, and other components, whichare often called Hardware Devicesor Peripherals.
1.5.2. Software
A set of instructions that perform a particular task is called a Program or Software.
(or)The instructions that tell the computer what to do are called software.
Softwarerefers to the instructions, or programs, that tell the hardware what to do.
For example,
a Word Processing Program that you can use to write letters on the computer is a typ e ofsoftware.
The Operating System(OS) like MS Windows is software that manages your computer andthe devices connected to it.
Later, we discuss about Hardware Parts and Software elaborately.
Ti l l now, you are gradual ly becoming famil iar to the computer. Isnt it?So, lets see Where they are usedand theTypes of computers.

They are used by engineers, architectsand map-makers to draw plans of buildings, diagrams ofmachines or large scale maps.
A plotter differs from a printer in that it draws images using a pen.
There are plotters now which are 'pen-less'and are usedfor creating high density drawings.
There are four types of Plotters:
Drum Plotter
Micrographic Plotter
Flatbed Plotter
Inkjet Plotter
1.10.4. Speakers
Most computers are fitted with a small internal speaker which can produce beeping sounds toalert you if you make an error.
Computers can also be fitted with a sound card (or chip) which will enable sound to be outputthrough external speakers.
These usually produce a much higher quality soundthan the internal speaker.
1.10.5. LCD Projector
An LCD Projectortakes the input from a computer and shows it on a large screen.
It is commonly used in organizations for displaying PowerPoi nt presentationduring meetings.

1.11. Generations of Computers
First generat ion compu ters, starting with the UNIVAC(UNIVersal Automatic Computer)in 1951, usedvacuum tubes, and their memories were made of thin tubes of liquid mercury and magnetic drums.
Second generat ion sy stems, in the late 1950s, replaced tubes withtransistors and used magnetic cores for memories. Size was reducedand reliability was significantly improved.
Third generat ion com puters, beginning in the mid 1960s, used the first
Integrated Circuits (IC) and the first Operating Systems (OS), andDatabase Management Systems (DBMS).
Fourth generat ion computers, starting in the mid 1970s, are madeentirely of chips. The microprocessor and personal computer arespawned.
Even with the millions of people using computers every day, we are stillin the fourth generation.
The f i f th generat ion implies faster hardware and more sophisticated software that uses ArtificialIntelligence(AI) routinely. You will be in the fifth generation, perhaps in the 20152020 time frames.

1.16. Memory Devices
It is vital that you have a way of saving the document that you are currently working on.
It is also vital that you cansave software applications that you use on your computer.
This section will introduce you to the different types of memory and storage devices.
The data is stored in the storage devices which are calledMemory.
Memory
Primary Secondary
ROM RAM e.g.: Floppy Disk(Read Only (Random Hard disk
Memory) Access CD(Compact Disk)Memory) DVD (Digital Video Disk)
CacheMemory Flash Memory(Pen
Drive, Memory Card)
1.16.1. System Memory (ROM)
ROMis a special kind of memory which stores theinstructions which the computer uses when i t ' boots up' -
the BIOS(Basic Input Output System).
It allows the computer to check
the type of hard disk installed,
the amount of RAM installed,
the type of CPU being used, etc.
Because the data is 'read only', it can be read but not changed
by the user.
The key thing to remember about ROM is that the data is not erased when the computer is switched off
the data is stored permanently, so it is called 'non volatile memory'
The types of ROM are:
PROM Programmable Read Only Memory
EPROM Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
EEPROM Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
UVPROM Ultraviolet Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
1.16.2. Short Term Memory (RAM)
RAMis a kind of primary memory which can be read
fromor wri tten toby a computer or other devices.
Information stored in RAM is lost when the computer is
turned off.
This is because RAM is called as 'temporary memory' or'volatile memory'.
Most computers are typically sold with 512 MB - 4 GBofRAM installed.
The types of RAM are:
SDRAM Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory
DDR Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory
The data in the RAMis lost may be when:
The computer is crashed
Accidentally the computer is switched off OR
Power Supply is cut
When you rebooted and logged back in,your work was gone forever.
SO BE CAREFUL ! SAVE YOUR WORK FREQUENTLY!
Read Only Memory (ROM)
Random Access Memory (RAM)

When you are working with any one or more application software*,
their modules are temporarily stored in RAM while they are
processed by the CPU.
One of the factors that CPUs performance and speed are high is the
capacity of RAM. That is, . the more the capacity of RAM, the higher is theperformance of the CPU .
The External or Secondary Storage Devices (SSDs) are

Wide Area Network (WAN)
1.16.3. What is a network?
A Computer Networkis
formed by joining computers together,and it allows computers or users to transfer files,
to share software and dataand share one printer.
1.16.4. Types of Networks
Local Area Network (LAN)
When the computers are fairly close to one another,
say, in a single office or two buildingsthat are separated by a road,
they can bejoined together either by cables or wireless means.
These computers then form a Local Area Network (LAN).
Once the computers are connected together into a LAN,
many people (users) can share and use the same resourcesat the same time.They can share files, software, hard disks andperipherals such as a printer or CD-ROM.
Users can also use the LANto communicate with each otherby e-mail.
Data can be transmitted very quickly between networkedcomputers.
To log onto a LAN, you usually need a user name and password.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
By linking LANs together, the network is no longer local to one building,it is now spread over a wide area.
It is known as a Wide Area Network (WAN).
So basically a WAN is where individual computers or LANs which are a long distance apart from each otherare connected together.
Many modern companies have offices, shops or factories in various locations around the country, and forlarge corporations, across the world.
Even though staff works in different places, they often need to beable to access the sameinformation no matterwhere they are.
They generally will notshare hardware orsoftware, unlike a LAN.
Do you know!
. The largestWAN in existenceis the Internet .
The user nameidentifies you to the fileserver so that it can 'serve' you the
correct files.
The passwordensures that the username really does belong to you.
