WHAT IS A COMPUTER

A computer is an electronic, digital and programmable device that can store, retrieve and process data.

WHAT IS A COMPUTER

The two principal characteristics of a computer are: 

•  It responds to a specific set of instructions in a well‐defined manner. 

•  It can execute a prerecorded list of instruction (a program).

FOUR BASIC FUNCTIONS OF A COMPUTER 

•  INPUT – information entered into the computer

or program for processing, as from any input

device. 

•  PROCESS – the manipulation and transformation

of data into some something useful.

DATA 

– consists of raw facts, which the computer can manipulate and process into information that is useful to people. 

– computerized data is digital, meaning that it has been reduced to digits, or numbers. The computer stores and reads all data as numbers. 

– although computers use data in digital form, they convert data into forms that people can understand, such as text, numerals, sounds, and images.

MODEM MODEM 

•  Short for modulator‐ demodulator. 

•  A modem is a device or program that enables a computer to transmit data over, for example, telephone or cable lines. Computer information is stored digitally, whereas information transmitted over telephone lines is transmitted in the form of analog waves. A modem converts between these two forms.

LAN Card LAN Card
