Hardware and Software

Hi everybody , it's first week of study Computers and Internet class, and most of the things aren't new for us. In first week we mostly spent our time to recognize each others and we didn't study much , but I don't mean that we didn't study anything. There were plenty of things to study and I'm going to reflect about them now.  First we learnt what's computer. Computer is A programmable machine that carries out what it has been instructed to do. Basic operations that a computer can perform:

                                                                             •Input

                                                                             •Processing

            •Output

            •Storage

               Others :

            •Communication

We Studied about the Information processing cycle too. Information processing  cycle is

 •A computer converts data (from input) to become information (as output).

       •Processing requires a set of instructions, known as programs or software.

       •A computer holds data, instructions and information in storage for future use.

       •Data : a collection of unprocessed items such as text, numbers, images, audio and video.

       •Information : meaningful and useful facts to people.

We learnt about Computer Hardware and Software also. 

Computer Hardware 

•The electrical, electronic or mechanical parts of a computer.

•Includes:

–Input devices

–Output devices

–System unit

–Storage devices

–Communication devices 

Computer Software 

•Also known as a program – a series of related instructions, organized for a common purpose.

•It tells the computer what task to perform and how to do it.

•Includes:

–System software

–Application software

In class we studied about the numbers too there are 3 types of number systems which we studied this week and they are 

Binary Number system 

•It uses two numerals/ digits to form a string of numbers. They are 0 and 1. Known as BITS too.  

 Octal Number system

•It uses eight numerals to form a string of numbers. They are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. 

 Hexadecimal Number systems

•It uses sixteen symbols (numerals + letters) to form a string of numbers. They are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D and E. Also known as Hex.

And in the class we learnt how to convert numbers from each other to each others.  That's all what we've learnt in this week and first week of study was very interesting and meaningful. I really like the clas and we really learnt many useful things.
