2.1      Input Devices An input device lets you communicate with a computer.  They are used to enter information and issue commands to the computer. Commands tell the computer to do something, like save the file. A keyboard, mouse, scanner, digital camera, touch pads and joystick are examples of input devices. Keyboard Used to type data into the computer. It has special keys for giving the computer commands called command or function keys Pointing Devices Pointing devices move some object on the screen and can do some action Mouse is a  common pointing device Scanner allows you to scan documents, pictures, or graphics and view them on the computer.  You can also use software to edit the items you scan. Used to put printed pictures and text into a computer. It Converts an image into dots that the computer can understand .To scan text, optical character recognition (OCR) software is needed Digital Camera Used to take electronic pictures of an object. The pictures taken by a digital camera can be used directly by a computer Microphone Used to put sound into a computer. Need sound recording software Video Capture Card Usually place inside the computer’s case. Use to put video into a computer. Need a video source, either a video camera or video recorder Voice input device-A computer I/O device in which vocal commands may be entered into a computer system. Optical character recognition (OCR) is computer software designed to translate images of handwritten or typewritten text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text, or to translate pictures of characters into a standard encoding scheme representing them (e.g. ASCII or Unicode). Optical Mark Reader (OMR) A special scanning device that can read carefully placed pencil marks on specially designed documents. OMR is frequently used in forms, questionnaires, and answer-sheets Magnetic Stripe reader Cards with magnetic stripes are used as credit cards, debit cards, railway tickets, phone cards and many other applications. The magnetic stripe can be encoded with up to 220 characters of data. A magnetic stripe reads the information held in the magnetic stripe. Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) In this method, human readable characters are printed on documents such as cheque using special magnetic ink. The cheque can be read using a special input unit, which can recognize magnetic ink characters. 2.2      Output devices An output device displays information on a screen, creates printed copies or generates  sound.   A  monitor,  printer,  and  speakers are examples  of  output devices. Monitors and Displays Shows the processed information on a screen. A monitor uses a Picture Tube like a television with the image displayed on the front of the tube, which is called the screen. Printers produce a hard copy. The information is printed on paper and can be used when the device is off. It is also called a printout. There different types of printers; Dot-matrix printers (impact printer) Uses metal pins to strike an inked ribbon to make dots on a piece of paper. Lowest print quality of all of the printers. Very low in cost per page to use. Ink jet printers (non-impact printer) Use drops of magnetic ink to produce dots on a page to produce text or images. The print quality is almost the same as a laser printer’s. The ink is very expensive The ink is water soluble and will run if the paper gets wet Highest cost per page of all the printers For producing color documents, it has the highest quality at a reasonable price. Laser printers (non-impact printer) A laser or LEDs make dots on a light sensitive drum Toner  (very tiny  particles of plastic) stick  to the  drum where the dots where made For black and white printouts, very low cost per page Printout is permanent Color laser printers are still fairly expensive Speakers Used to output sound LCD Projectors Similar to monitors but projects an image on to a screen. They are mainly used for presentations. 2.3      Central Processing Unit (CPU)/Processor: It is the main part of a computer system like the brain of a human being. It interprets the instructions in the program and executes one by one. The CPU of a microcomputer is called a microprocessor. Central Processing Unit is implemented in a single piece of silicon device known as a computer chip. The processor and main memory of a PC are commonly held on a single board called a mother board. The processor has the following functions: It controls the transmission of data from input devices to memory;   It processes the data held in main memory; It controls the transmission of information from main memory to output devices. The processor contains the control unit and the arithmetic/logic unit(ALU). The control unit coordinates and controls all the operations carried out by the computer. The control unit operates by repeating three operations which are: Fetch – cause the next instruction to be fetched from memory; Decode  –  translate  the  program  instruction  into  commands  that  the computer can process Execute – cause the instruction to be executed The arithmetic/logic unit(ALU) plays two roles. Arithmetic   operations   –  these   operations   are   addition,   subtraction, multiplication and division.. Logical operations – it compares two data items to determine whether the first one is smaller than, equal to or greater than the second item. 2.4      Main Memory: The cycle (input – processing – output) would not be possible without a holding place for the instructions and data that the processors (CPU) can easily reach. This holding place is known as memory also called main storage and is internal to the computer consisting of RAM and possibly ROM. Random Access Memory (RAM) Is the basic kind of internal memory that holds data and instructions while the computer is in use. It can be read from and written to. It is called random access because the processor or computer can access any location in memory in any order as contrasted with sequential access devices which must be accessed in order. RAM is volatile; losing the stored

1.1.     History of Computers When the human race started doing some trade, it felt a need for a calculating device. The first calculating device, which was used 2000 years ago was called abacus and the improvements in the calculating device in that age were slow. The next change came after about 1600 years. Following this, the changes were frequent and the mechanical desk calculator was developed around 1800 A.D. In  1833, Prof. Charles Babbage, the father of the computer, developed a machine called analytical engine which was the vase for the modern digital computer. 1.2      Generation of Computers 1.2.1   Computer generations First generation computers (1946-1956) They made use of vacuum tubes to store and process information. The tubes consumed a lot of power and generated a lot of heat (overheating). They were huge in size and occupy a room. They used magnetic tape. Storage capacity was very low i.e. 2kb and speed of processing was also very low. First machine in this category was ENIAC (electronic discrete variable automatic computer) and later came UNIVAC (universal automatic computers).these computers were mostly computational machines. Their input /output capabilities were usually limited to the keyboard and or punched card input and printer and or punched cart output. The speed of these machines was described in milliseconds (1/1000 of a second) Second generation computers (1957-1967) These computers used transistors after invention of transistors. The transistor is smaller cheaper and produced less heat than vacuum tubes and consumed less power. The cost of computers decreased and the speed increased. The second generation saw the introduction of more complex ALU and CPU, the use of high level languages and provision of system software with the computer. Data access time was measured in micro-seconds. Removable disk storage units were developed for use on these machines. The speed of these machines was described in microseconds (1/1000, 000 of a second). These computers had programming languages whose vocabularies are close to the human natural language, English language. Third generation computers (1965-1980) Introduced the use of very small electronic circuit called integrated circuits (IC) by combining several transistors together between 3 transistors to make 1 IC. With IC you can house thousands of transistors in one IC. This change further decreased   the  size,   heat  output  and  the   maintenance  complexity  of  the computers while increasing its speed. The small circuitry that resulted improved the processing speed i.e. 10 times the past. The speed of these machines was described in nanoseconds (1/1,000,000,000 of a second). They have higher main memory capacity, reliable and increased processing power (have the capability of holding more than one set of instructions and operate on them) than the second generation computers. Invention of IC revolutionalised electronics and started the error of micro-electronics. The IBM 360 is an example of third generation computers. Fourth generation computers (1980s) Use large scale integration circuits which housed hundreds of transistors and very large IC which are between 200,000 to 400, 000 in one IC. Memory used includes magnetic disc and optical disc. Memory size expanded up to several MB and speed was 10 times faster. This generation marked the origin of mini computers in use today. Fifth generation computers (1990-current) The design of these computers was based on VLSI (very large scale integration) technology, the micro chip technology that gave rise to the smaller computers known as the micro computers in use today. These computers are used in networking .examples of micro computers are IBM PCs BBC micro etc. the micro computers are usually described as PCs or stand alone or desktop computers because they were designed primarily to serve single person at a time. The fifth generation is still a state of the art technology that relies on predictions and further technological refinements. Summary Research shows that the trend in computer technology revolution is that there is; Continual decrease in computer size Improved speed and power processing Decrease in computers and the related facilities cost Number of components in computer per circuit (IC) greatly increased over 500,000  physical  elements  e.g.  transistors,  capacities,  diodes  etc  per chip(IC). 1.3      Characteristics of Computers Speed – a computer is a very fast machine. It can perform in a very few seconds the amount of work that a human being can do in a year if he/she worked day and night doing nothing else. Accuracy – the computer accuracy is consistently high. Diligence –  computers are free from monotony,  tiredness and lack  of concentration etc.  It can therefore  work for hours without creating  an error. For example if 10 million calculations are to be done, a computer will do the tenth million calculations with exactly the same speed and accuracy as the first one. Versatility –  a  computer  performs  various  tasks  with  ease.  I.e.  it  can search for a letter, the next moment prepare an electricity bill, and write a report next then do an arithmetic calculation all with ease. Power of remembering – a computer can store and recall any information due to its secondary storage capability. No intelligence  Quotient  (IQ)  –  a  computer  cannot  make  its  own decisions and has to be instructed on what to do. No feelings – computers are devoid of emotions. They have no feelings or instincts and none possesses the equivalent of a human heart and soul. 1.4      Basic Computer Concepts Definition of a computer A computer is an electronic device capable of executing instructions, developed based on algorithms stored in its memory, to process data fed to it and produce the required results faster than human beings. The definition from the  Merriam-Webster Dictionary : “one that computes;  specifically : a programmable electronic device that can store, retrieve, and process data” 1.5      Types of Computers What different types of computers are there ? This categories are based on size, price and capabilities Super computers They are very large in size and use multiple processors and superior technology. Super computers are biggest in size, the most expensive in price than any other is classified and known as super
