Any physical component of a computer system that contains a circuit board, Integrated Circuits (ICs), or other electronics.
COMPUTER HARDWARE
Different components of computer hardware
INPUT
DEVICES,
OUTPUT
DEVICES,
SYSTEM UNIT
A piece of hardware that sends data to a computer.
INPUT DEVICES
A piece of computer hardware that receives data from a computer and then translates that data into another form.
OUTPUT DEVICE
Also known as a "tower" or "chassis," is the main part of a desktop computer.
SYSTEM UNIT
2 COMPUTER SOFTWARE
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
SYSTEM SOFTWARE
It is a computer software package that performs a specific function directly for an end user or, in some cases, for another application.
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
It is a type of computer program that is designed to run a computer's hardware and application programs.
SYSTEM SOFTWARE
It can’t run independently
because it is not able to run
without the presence of system
software
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
It can run independently as it
provides the platform for the
running application software.
SYSTEM SOFTWARE
A sequence of computational steps that transform the input into the output.
COMPUTER ALGORITHMS
It helps us to determine which algorithm is most efficient in terms of time and space consumed.
ANALYSIS OF ALGORITHMS
Computer networks
are the basis of communication in IT. They are used in a wide variety of ways and can include many different types of networks.
A
computer network
is a set of computers that are connected so that they can share information.
spanned across whole building, city
GEOGRAPHICAL SPAN
connected to left and right peers only
INTERCONNECTIVITY
private network belongs to single autonomous system.
ADMINISTRATION
has various types such as client-server, peer-to-peer or hybrid.
NETWORK ARCHITECTURE
collection of LAN
METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK
collection of all MAN
WIDE AREA NETWORK
Types of networks
PAN, LAN, MAN, WAN
is a network concerned with exchanging
information in a person's vicinity.
PERSONAL AREA NETWORK
is a group of computer and peripheral devices which are
connected in a limited area such as school, laboratory, home, and office building.
LOCAL AREA NETWORK
is another vital computer network that is spread across a large
geographical area.
WIDE AREA NETWORK
is consisting of a computer network across an entire city,
college campus, or a small region. This network type is larger than a LAN, mainly limited to a
single building or site.
METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK
is a wireless distribution method for two or more devices that use
high-frequency radio waves and often include an access point to the Internet.
WLAN
is a type of network that allows consolidated, block-level data
storage. It is mainly used to make storage devices, like disk arrays, optical jukeboxes, and
tape libraries.
Storage
Area
Network
is used for a local network. It offers high-speed connection in
server-to-server and processor-to-processor applications. The computers connected on a
SAN network operate as a single system at relatively high speed.
SYSTEM AREA NETWORK
is always built using two or more interconnected computers to
form a local area network (LAN) within the home.
HOME AREA NETWORK
is a networking technology that helps you to integrate into structured cabling. It
allows you to resolve the issues of supporting Ethernet protocols and network apps.
POLAN
is a computer network that helps enterprise companies
with several disparate offices connect those offices to each in a secure way over a network.
It is mainly set up to share computer resources.
EPN
is a
computer network that links the buildings and consists of two or more local area networks
(LANs) within the limited geographical area.
CAMPUS AREA NETWORK
is a private network that uses a public network to connect remote sites or users.
VPN
an American painter, and inventor, transmits
the first electric telegraph message, eventually making it possible for people to send messages around the world in minutes.
SAMUEL FINLEY BREESE MORSE
When was the transmission of first telegraph message?
1844
a Scottish-born American inventor,
scientist, and a teacher of the deaf developed the telephone and the refinement of the phonograph (1886).
ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL
accesses a computer in New York using a teletype (remote
terminal) in New Hampshire, connected over a telephone line.
GEORGE STIBITZ
Published the paper "As We May Think", which anticipates the development of the World Wide Web by half a century. 1945
Vannevar Bush
YEAR THAT AT&T and Bell commercially sold the developed modern modems.
1958
Introduced the concept of communication between computers thru sending
"message blocks," which gave a similar idea and coined the term "packet switching."
