It operates under a set of instructions stored in its memory. The computer can accept data and process these data to produce a meaningful and useful information. DATA It is a raw fact with no contexts. It can be characters, numbers and symbols that operate using a computer. It can be stored and transmitted through electrical signal or register on a magnetic, optical or mechanical recording media. INFORMATION What do you think a computer can do? 1. 2. 4. 5. 3. Notes to the Teacher The activities in this module are arranged in manner of learning progression. This means that activities are written for you to guide the learners in learning this module. WHAT IS A COMPUTER? What Is It
- 11. 7 It is a collected data that has been processed. It can be considered as the summarization of the data. Capability of Computer Computer has the ability to perform arithmetic operation such as (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) as well as the logical operation which is commonly used in decision making (and operator, not operator and or operator). This device can process data at the very high speed and can store and retrieve information using storage called memory. Furthermore, computer has the capacity to determine human language using a machine language. A machine language or programming language is used by a computer to process data and to understand the command of the computer user. Some of the computer languages are (BASIC, C, C++, COBOL, Java, FORTRAN, Ada and Pascal). Limitation of Computer Computer is a great tool in doing the task but it also has its limitations because it cannot be performed as if thinking on its own, cannot correct inaccurate data and it is subject to break down. Personal and Home Uses Computers are used by people especially people from different walks of life to do common activities like shopping online, entertainment, playing games with other people and work from home. Business Uses Computers allow companies to save and to retrieve quicker and easier large amounts of information at hand like databases, ordering and tracking resources, meetings from different locations and sales directory. Communication Uses Computers allow people (family, relatives, love ones, workmates, friends) across the world to communicate easily by empowering others to share files, attending a training courses as well as collaborating on projects like sharing a presentation or documents. Educational Uses Internet allows access to huge online learning materials, where students have the ability to correspond quickly about ongoing research or studies and combine graphics, animation, and audio with a reading program that helps them in the learning process. USES AND IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTER
- 12. 8 stands for Input, Process, Output (also known as Data Processing Cycle), a cycle that happens when a computer is working. a. Input - first step, where the data is being enter to the computer b. Process – second step, where the data is being arrange, manage or calculate. c. Output – third step, where in the result is being produce. Science and Research Uses Computer enables the physical testing result become easy and fast. Medicine being formulated according to the data being gathered and accurate statistics analysis are being performed for proper treatment of the patient. Artificial Intelligence Uses Artificial Intelligence acts as a human allowing workers to be safer and experience less tedious tasks. The production in the factories become faster and products being produced are of good quality. Transportation Uses Computers allow passenger to travel more conveniently because there are more transportation vehicles used. Simulators are used by the pilot when they are in training, radar in ships help a lot in navigating and sending signals. Input Output Process IPO CYCLE INPUT-PROCESS-OUTPUT (IPO) CYCLE
