In the mid-1970s, computers started getting small
and inexpensive enough for people to have them
in their homes.
Many home computer users started using the
network to communicate between computers and
share messages with each other.
You may wonder how computers talk to each
other. In 1963, the American Standard Code for
Information Interchange (ASCII) was developed.
Different manufacturers use the same 128 codes
to make the English alphabet, Arabic numerals,
punctuation marks, and many other things.

During the last half of the 1970s, it was obvious
that ARPANET wasn't big enough to handle all of
this activity. The program was shifted to the
National Science Foundation (NSF), which
developed a larger network called the NSFNET.
In 1990, this became known as the INTERNET.

How does an E. Mail travel?
Email travels along imaginary roads from your
computer to one or more servers and then to your
friend's computer.
Servers are the key to sending and receiving
emails. You can think of servers like bridges.
Some bridges are small carrying only a few cars.
Other bridges are very large carrying many, many
cars.
If the bridge goes down, no traffic gets through.
It's the same on the Internet, if a server goes
down your email can't travel from your computer
to your friend's computer.

So, What is a Computer?
Computer is an advanced electronic device that
takes raw data as input from the user and
processes these data under the control of set of
instructions (called program) and gives the result
(output) and saves output for the future use.
It can process both numerical and non-numerical
(arithmetic and logical) calculations.

7


A computer, then has four (4) functions:
a. accepts data
Input
b. processes data
Processing
c. produces output
Output
d. stores results
Storage

Input (Data):
Input is the raw information entered into a
computer from the input devices. It is the
collection of letters, numbers, images etc.

9





Process:
Process is the operation of data as per given
instruction. It is totally internal process of the
computer system.

10





Output:
Output is the processed data given by computer
after data processing. Output is also called as
Result. We can save these results in the storage
devices for the future use.

11


What are Computers for?
Key Points to remember:
1. Computer is a device which converts DATA
into INFORMATION;
2. DATA is a collection of facts & figures;
3. Computer is used in Business, Administration,
Management, Medecine, Space Technology…
4. Computer is a versatile machine that can be
used in almost all the fields.

Computer can perform any task faster than
any other machine;
INFORMATION is meaningful DATA;
Processing refers to the manipulation of data
within the computer;
Speed, Accuracy (truth-quality), versatility
(skillfulness), Storage, Diligence (steady
application/industrious), etc. are the
characteristics of a COMPUTER.

Computer System ?



All of the components of a computer system can
be summarized with the simple equations:



COMPUTER SYSTEM =
