Basic Computer Concept

Definition of a Computer

A computer can be described as a machine or a device that accept data under the
control of a stored program in a prescribed form, process data and supply the result as
information in a specific form. It performs three major functions such as:

1. It accepts data
2. It processes data
3. It supplies information (output)

Parts of Computer

These are parts of a computer:

Monitor: The monitor is an output device. It displays the information on the screen for
the user to see what he/she is doing. The information is displayed on the screen is
called Soft copy. The monitor comes in different sizes such 12 inches,14 inches, 21
inches e.t.c

Keyboard: The Keyboard is an input device. It is used to send data into the computer
system for processing. The keyboard is used to communicate with the computer. It is
used to enter data into the computer in form of digits, alphabets, symbols. The
keyboard has five different sections. Such as

• function keys
• alphanumerical keys
• control keys
• numerical keys
• speed keys

System Unit: System unit is a metallic box that contains the major components of the
computer. It contains the heart of the computer system called the central processing
unit (CPU). The central processing unit is where all the processing function takes place
on the computer system.

Mouse: The Mouse is a pointing device that moves an object on the screen of the
monitor. The mouse also can be used to give simple C command to the computer. The
mouse work in conjunction with the keyboard.

Speaker: Speaker is an output the project out the sound of what we do with the
computer.

Printer: The printer is an output device that transforms out the soft copy works we
have on the computer on a printed paper.

Component of the System Unit

1. Internal power supply: The system unit draws power from the alternate
circuit/current (AC) through a power protecting device. The power is supplied
directly to an internal power supply which converts the alternate into
direct/current (DC) of 5 and 12 volts. Internal power supply (SMP) it provides
cable connectors to supply the required voltage to the other internal component
like the floppy disk drive, hard disk drive, the boot and external device like a
keyboard. The off/on of the system unit is part of switch mode power supply
(SMP)
2. Exhaust Fan: exhaust fan is a small fan attached to the switch mode power
supply to cool it. The fan rotates as long as the computer is on
3. Speaker: speaker is an output the project out the sound of what we do with the
computer.
4. Mother Board: mother board is a large board that contains numbers of tiny
electronic circuit and other components. It is popularly referred to as BORAD its
components are;

• Micro Processor: The micro processor, processes data and produces out a
result. The means it accepts data, perform arithmetic and logic operation and
then send out the result. It responds to request for the peripheral devices e.g
printer signal can indicate when it has paper run out of paper. micro processor
consists of a control unit, arithmetic, and logic unit and register, during the
arithmetic and logic unit operation, the micro processor chip hold it intermediate
resulting register.
• The Register: The registers are part of microprocessor chip meant for storage
and are not accessible to the programmer.

Technology Of Different Information Age (Age early counting devices)

The counting of figures and other simple arithmetic operation are of the greatest
challenges man has ever had before the invention of the computer. The counting move
is done using different parts or the body such as finger and toes. Objects like stones,
pebbles, sticks, and drawing of lines of marks on the surface were also used for
counting.

Technology of information ages can be grouped into four stages and these are:

1. Stone Age (primitive period): stones were used for making tools and weapon
of the primate period. In this era, stones were stricken together to make fire.
Clay was also used for making pot, jug, and pottery e.t.c.
2. Iron age (12A century BC): as human, life gradual attention begins to shift on
iron. The iron such as steel and bronze were used for making tools and weapons
for war e.g hoe, knife, and cutlass was made from iron and was meant for
human usage.
3. Industrial age (late 18th or early 19 century): industrial age is known as
the industrial revolution age. There were rapid revolution changes in agriculture,
transportation, manufacturing and mining sector across the globe in this era. In
this period, machine was produced and used to perform tedious and manual
production of goods. In man’s history, this period was a turning point because
road, ships, railways, electricity e.t.c were developed in this era.
 4. Electronic age (late 19th century): This is the invention of electronic machine
over the stage in this era of information age. It a period during which the
concept of electromagnetism, electrostatic, electric current and above all silicon
technology were fully harnessed together for human and social advantages. It is
the period that computer was developed and it is used interchangeably with the
present information age.

History Of Computer

Before the invention of computer, counting of figures was done with finger, and also
the use of toe. Then later on man shifted to the use of stones. The stones often
became problem sometimes, then another means were cropped up until mechanic and
electronic devices were discovered.

Development of computer mechanical devices are these devices that porter their task
without making use of electricity. Examples are

1. Abacus: Abacus was developed in china. It is a wooden frame with string on

which colorful beads are stung on.
2. Slide Rule: Slide rule is used for performing calculation which involves
multiplication and division. The use of slide rule is only accurate to 3 or 4 of
decimal place. It is also used for operation that involves raising number to a
given power 23
Electronic Devices

These are devices that used low voltage to power, supply and also to perform their
task. Such as

1. Napier Logarithm (Napier Bones): in the 1617, John Napier ( a mathematician)

invented a device called Napier bones. He used it to simplify lengthy calculation
by first reducing them to addition and also simplifies them.
2. Pascal Line: in 1642 blasé Pascal invented the first true adding machine. He
invented it to reduce the numerical labour involved in his father work. This
device is basically use for arithmetic operation such as adding and subtraction.
3. Charles Babbage Analytic Machine: in 1832, Sir Charles Babbage built a
machine call DIFFERENCE ENGINE. He later designs another machine called
ANALYTIC MACHINE IN 1833. He invented this machine (analytical machine) for
more complex calculation bur he died and could not complete the task. His friend
ADA LOVE LAC E showed how the machine could e used to do some particular
calculation. It is often thought that sir Charles Babbage is the inventor of the
computer, while ADA LOVE LACE is the first programmer. This machine has four
parts.

• A mill for calculating

• A store for holding instructors, immediate and final results
• An operator for carrying out instructions
• A device for reading and writing date on punch card.

Data and Information

Introduction

“Data” comes from a singular Latin word, datum, which originally meant “something
given.” Its early usage dates back to the 1600s. Over time “data” has become the plural
of datum.

“Information” is an older word that dates back to the 1300s and has Old French and
Middle English origins. It has always referred to “the act of informing,” usually in regard
to education, instruction, or other knowledge communication.

Data

Data can be defined as a raw fact; data is a raw material which information is
produced. Data is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables. Data is
information in raw or unorganized form (such as alphabets, numbers, or symbols) that
refer to, or represent, conditions, ideas, or objects. Data is limitless and present
everywhere in the universe. In computing, data is information that has been translated
into a form that is more convenient to move or process. Relative to today’s computers
and transmission media, data is information converted into binary digital form.
Data can be defined as a representation of facts, concepts or instructions in a
formalized manner which should be suitable for communication, interpretation, or
processing by human or electronic machine. Data is represented with the help of
characters like alphabets (A-Z,a-z), digits (0-9) or special characters(+,-,/,*,<,>,=
etc.).

Examples of Data

• Student Data on Admission Forms: When students get admission in a

college. They fill admission form. This form contains raw facts (data of student)
like name, father’s name, address of student etc.
• Survey Data: Different companies collect data by survey to know the opinion of
people about their product.
• Data of Citizens: During census, raw facts of all citizens is collected.
• Students Examination Data: In examination data about obtained marks of
different subjects for all students is collected.

Information

Information is a data which has been processed to a meaningful and useful to the
person who received it. Data as a general concept refers to the fact that some existing
information or knowledge is represented or coded in some form suitable for better
usage or processing. Information is stimuli that has meaning in some context for its
receiver. When information is entered into and stored in a computer, it is generally
referred to as data. After processing (such as formatting and printing), output data can
again be perceived as information. Information is the summarization of data.
Technically, data are raw facts and figures that are processed into information, such as
summaries and totals.

Information is organised or classified data which has some meaningful values for the
receiver.

Information is the processed data on which decisions and actions are based.

For the decision to be meaningful, the processed data must qualify for the following
characteristics:

• Timely – Information should be available when required.

• Accuracy – Information should be accurate.
• Completeness – Information should be complete.
Examples Of Information

• Student Address Labels: Stored data of students can be used to print address
labels of students.
• Result Cards of Individual Students: In examination system collected data
(obtained marks in each subject) is processed to get total obtained marks of a
student. Total obtained marks are Information. It is also used to prepare result
card of a student.
• Census Report: Census data is used to get report/information about total
population of a country and literacy rate etc.
• Survey Reports and Results: Survey data is summarized into
reports/information to present to management of the company.

Sources Of Data

Data can be sourced from the following:

1. Student performance in both text and exam

2. Patient files at the hospital
3. Company’s database about each employee
4. Printed Books
5. Internet
6. Electronic Sources etc.

Examples of Data and Information

Name: Akingade Job

Class: S S 2A

State of Origin: Ondo state

Sex: Male

Date of birth: 16TH September 1999

How data is processed into information

• Data could be listened to, store, deleted, removed or merged together

• Data processing involves some process which includes, calculating, sorting,
classifying, and summarizing e.t.c.
 • Data processing simply means how data is being converted into meaning
information.

Quality of Good Information

1. Accuracy: information must be accurate and should not misled the user in
making the right decision
2. Meaningful: A good information must be meaningful i.e must e able to be
interpreted
3. Timely: A good information must be communicated when it is needed
4. Comprehensive: A good information must be expressed in a way that can
understand it
5. Suitable: A good information must be good enough to serve it purpose
6. Relevant: A good information must not ease more that it worth.

Differences between Data and Information

• Data is the input language for a computer and information is the output
language for human.
• Data is unprocessed facts or mere figures but information is processed data
which has been made sense of.
• Data does not depend on information but information depends on data and
without it, information cannot be processed.
• Data is not specific but information is specific enough to generate meaning.
• Data is the raw material that is collected but information is a detailed meaning
generated from the data.

main focus is on Education.
ICT in Education

Educational technology is the effective use of technological tools in learning. As a

concept, it concerns an array of tools, such as media, machines and networking
hardware, as well as considering underlying theoretical perspectives for their effective
application.

Educational technology is not restricted to high technology. Nonetheless, electronic

educational technology, also called e-learning, has become an important part of
society today, comprising an extensive array of digitization approaches, components,
and delivery methods.

Benefits To Teachers

• ICT facilitates the sharing of resources, expertise, and advice

• Greater flexibility in when and where tasks are carried out
• Gains in ICT literacy skills, confidence, and enthusiasm.
• Easier planning and preparation of lessons and designing materials
• Access to an up-to-date pupil and school data, any time, anywhere.
• Enhancement of professional image projected to colleagues.
