Chapter name: Application software Chapter number: 3 Attachment: related to chapter title Application software Over view: With the proper software, a computer is a valuable tool. Software allows users to create letters, memos, reports, and other documents; develop multimedia presentations; design Web pages and diagrams; draw and alter images; record and enhance audio and video clips; prepare and file taxes; play single player or multiplayer games; compose e-mail messages and instant messages; and much more. To accomplish these and many other tasks, users work with application software. Application software consists of programs designed to make users more productive and/or assist them with personal tasks. Application software has a variety of uses: 1. To make business activities more efficient 2. To assist with graphics and multimedia projects 3. To support home, personal, and educational tasks 4. To facilitate communications My point of view: In my view As a student in a drafting class, your instructor has challenged you to design your dream home by using application software wherever possible. Form a team of three people that will determine how to accomplish this objective Chapter name The Components of the System Unit Chapter number 4th Attachment: related to chapter title The Components of the System Unit Over view: The system unit is a case that contains electronic components of the computer used to process data. System units are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. The case of the system unit, sometimes called the chassis, is made of metal or plastic and protects the internal electronic components from damage. All computers and mobile devices have a system unit On desktop personal computers, the electronic components and most storage devices are part of the system unit. Other devices, such as the keyboard, mouse, microphone, monitor, printer, USB flash drive, scanner, Web cam, and speakers, normally occupy space outside the system unit. An all-in-one desktop personal computer is an exception, which houses the monitor and the system unit in the same case. The trend is toward a smaller form factor, or size and shape, of the desktop personal computer system unit. My point of view For many types of problems we can learn from this chapter: Three of your friends have asked you to configure a new computer for each of them. Each friend has $2,000 budgeted for the computer. One friend likes to play video games, another wants to purchase a computer for his home office (where he works as a travel agent), and the third would like a notebook computer that he can use for schoolwork. By following different step we can do our work in a good manner. Chapter name input Chapter number 5th Attachment : related to chapter title Input Over view: An input device is any hardware component that allows users to enter data and instructions (programs, commands, and user responses) into a computer. Depending on the application and your particular requirements, the input device selected may vary. The following pages discuss a variety of input devices . Storage devices, such as disk drives, serve as both input and output devices. data is a collection of unprocessed items, including text, numbers, images, audio, and video. Once data is in memory, the computer interprets and executes instructions to process the data into information. Instructions entered into the computer can be in the form of programs, commands, and user responses. Learnt through this chapter You work for a bed and breakfast that has 12 guest rooms. You currently record reservations in an appointment book and use traditional door keys to grant access to rooms. Occasionally, your guests check out and forget to turn in their keys. For this reason, you must change the lock to that room so that former guests cannot enter the rooms after their stay has ended. You want to use technology to automate the room keys and other processes at the bed and breakfast. Form a team of three people. One team member should research solutions for a computerized reservation system. Another team member should research solutions for implementing an electronic lock solution, and the last team member should research the costs of creating a Web site that allows guests to reserve rooms online. Chapter name out put Chapter number 6th Attachment relate to chapter title Out put Over view: Output is data that has been processed into a useful form. That is, computers process data (input) into information (output). The form of output varies, depending on the hardware and software being used and the requirements of the user. Monitors, notebook computers, portable media players, smart phones, digital cameras, and other mobile devices have screens that allow users to view documents, Web sites, e-mail messages, photos, videos, and movies. Many printers enable users to print colour documents and photos. Through the computer’s speakers, headphones, or earbuds, users listen to sounds, music, and voice messages.While working with a computer, a user encounters four basic types of output: text, graphics, audio, and video . Very often, a single form of output, such as a Web page, includes more than one of these types of output Chapter name Storage Chapter number 7th Attachment related to chapter title Storage Over view: Storage holds data, instructions, and information for future use. Every computer stores system software and application software. To start up, a computer locates an operating system (system software) in storage, usually a hard disk, and loads it into memory (RAM). When a user issues a command to start application software1, such as a word processing program or a Web browser, the operating system locates the program in storage, such as on a hard disk or optical disc, and loads it into memory (RAM). In addition to programs, users store a variety of data and information on mainframe computers, Figure 7-1 A variety of storage options smart card magnetic stripe card optical disc microfilm external hard disks network attached storage device internal hard disk servers, desktop computers, notebook computers, smart phones, portable media players, and other mobile devices. For example, all types of users store digital photos; appointments, schedules, and contact/address information; correspondence, such as letters and e-mail messages; tax records; and Web pages .A home user also might store budgets, bank statements, a household inventory, records of stock purchases, tax information, homework assignments, recipes, music, and videos. In addition or instead, a business user stores reports, financial records, travel records, customer Chapter name Operating Systems and Utility Programs Chapter number 8th Attachment relate to chapter title Operating Systems and Utility Programs An operating system (OS) is a set of programs containing instructions that work together to coordinate all the activities among computer hardware resources. Most operating systems perform similar functions that include starting and shutting down a computer, providing a user interface, managing programs, managing memory, coordinating tasks, configuring devices, establishing an Internet connection, monitoring performance, providing file management and other utilities, and automatically updating itself and certain utility programs. My point of view As a student of IT I have learnt about different processes of storing data. Chapter name Chapter number Communications and Networks 9th Attachment: related to chapter title Communications and Networks Over view: Computer communications describes a process in which two or more computers or devices transfer data, instructions, and information. Today, even the smallest computers and devices can communicate directly with one another, with hundreds of computers on a company network, or with millions of other computer Computer communications are everywhere. Many require that users subscribe to an Internet access provider. With other computer communications, an organization such as a business or school provides communications services to employees, students, or customers. By studying this chapter: You, along with two of your friends, decide to play multiplayer computer games at your house. In order to play multiplayer computer games from the same location, however, you learn that you must set up a local area network that connects each player’s computer to the other computers. Form a team of three people. One team member should research what software (if any) is required, besides the game itself, to connect the computers to the local area network. Another team member should research what additional hardware is required to set up this local area network. Finally, the last team member should research how to configure the computers to connect to one another. Compile your findings and then submit them to your instructor. The End
