The first ‘true calculator’ was invented by Blaise Pascal in 1642. It was
praised for attempting arithmetic calculations that were previously
thought impossible.
Mechanical calculators in the 17the century were comparable in size to
typewriters and have been rendered obsolete by the advent of portable
electronic calculators.
Modern electronic calculators are used to carry out various tasks, ranging
from basic arithmetic to complex mathematics. They have not only
enhanced our ability to perform basic computations but provided us with
the ability to understand mathematics on a greater scale than ever
imagined.
today, there are many types of calculators available in the market that
features different power sources, designs, and functions. One can put
them into three categories based on the source of power.
Electric calculators: the old ones that work on electricity.
• Battery calculators: the current ones that use cells to do
calculations.
• Solar calculators: are the electronic calculators powered by solar
cells mounted on the devices.

B. DEVELOPMENT
Office Technology
Changing technologies—including personal computers (PCs), slide projectors, movie projectors,
overhead projectors, television monitors, videocassettes, videodisc players, multimedia systems,
and the Internet—have had a major impact on the office environment since the start of the
twentieth century. The ability to use technology is an essential skill in the ever changing
workforce of the twenty-first century.
The modern office has changed dramatically since the 1990s. Offices in today's society are
transmitting information via electronic mail (e-mail), electronic calendars, and teleconferencing,
as well as other electronic devices. Communication via technology is just as important as oral
and written communication in the work environment. Technology continues to play a vital role in
transforming the business environment.
Advances in technology have transformed the world of work. As the work environment has
changed, individual workers see how their work connects not only to their particular work place,
but to the entire value chain.

The backbone of technology is the local area network (LAN), a single-site computer network, or
the wide area network (WAN), which supports worldwide work groups. Both of these networks
provide tools for users to transmit data, graphics, mail, and voice across the network. LANs and
WANs enable distributed work teams to complete projects using groupware and decision support
systems.
Merging in the fast lane of the information super-highway of the twenty-first century world of
work, faster information systems, blink-of-an-eye access to the global marketplace, virtual
offices, virtual teams, and virtual organizations are coming into existence. The impetus is
technology. The technology explosion has transformed every level of business environment—
from the typical office worker to the chief executive officer (CEO), providing a challenge for all.
Technology is creating whole new genres of content. Office technology focuses upon office
information functions such as word processing, data processing, graphics, desktop publishing,
and communication.
Office Systems
The invention of the PC in the 1980s altered the way computing power was distributed within an
organization—changing how companies were run, the ways in which information was created,
and the ways in which information was used by individuals in carrying out their jobs. The use of
word processing and spreadsheet packages made it possible for professional staffs to create their
own reports without having to go to a central typing pool or computer center. Prior to the advent
of the PC, secretaries typed letters, created reports, and organized information in files. The
nature of secretarial positions changed with the arrival of the PC, from a focus on document
creation and production to a focus on other kinds of administrative functions, as reflected in the
changing work patterns of the office.
Office systems consist of tasks to be performed, procedures to complete the tasks, sets of
automated technologies designed to enhance productivity, and personnel working within the
framework of a business organizational structure. Office systems exist in facilitating and
retaining communications, and creating, processing, and distributing information. Integrated
hardware components and integrated software applications enhance the productivity and
efficiency of the overall organization to the success of the business.
Types of Technologies
Key Stage 4 Template Created by DepEdClick as per DepEd Order No. 17, s. 2022
The variety of technologies available continues to change. Some of the technologies used in
today's offices are:
Messages can be transmitted electronically within an office (intranet) as well as around the
universe (Internet, or Net). Workers are able to exchange information over the computer via the
Net through e-mail. E-mails can be sent simultaneously to many individuals around the world.
The intranet is an internal computer network that is used within a company, whereby pertinent
information—such as telephone directories, calendars of events, procedure manuals, job postings,
and human resources information—can be posted and updated. With the intranet, one is able to
communicate online with individuals within a designated work environment.
The Internet is a global computer network that permits millions of computers around the world to
communicate via telephone systems and other communication lines. It is also known as the
digital information super-highway and is a part of the World Wide Web. With the Internet one
can communicate to anyone online throughout the world. The Internet is a public worldwide
computer network full of information comprising inter- connected networks that span the globe.
Web Pages
Web pages make it possible for businesses, organizations, and anyone who wishes to post
information or sell products to do so on the World Wide Web. Web page programs—such as
Macromedia, Dream-weaver, and Site Rack—enable users to create their own Web pages.
Web-Based E-Mail
Web mail is a popular Internet service that allows one to send messages and files to anyone
around the world from any computer that is connected to the Internet. With an account, users can
send and receive messages, images, and any other type of information. Users can access e-mail
even if they do not have a computer, simply by using small, inexpensive devices that fit in the
palm of one's hand.
Key Stage 4 Template Created by DepEdClick as per DepEd Order No. 17, s. 2022
E-mail is keyed messages sent from one computer screen to another, using a network linking the
units. Transmitting messages from one computer to another offers office workers the ability to
communicate quickly through written messages with colleagues, coworkers, and friends.
Voice Mail
Voice mail is an outgrowth of e-mail. Information is spoken into the phone. Words are converted
or digitized into electronic computer language. This form of communication is transmitted
electronically by phone lines for immediate delivery or can be stored in a computer mailbox. The
recipient is able to retrieve the message by dialing a code number to access the mailbox. The
computer reconverts the message to the caller's voice and the recipient is able to hear the voice
message.
Electronic Calendars
Office tasks are being accomplished and redefined by computers. Computers can keep a calendar
of appointments. The computer stores the files of employees' schedules, forthcoming meetings,
calendars of events, and conferences, thereby enabling employees to check their central file.
Everyone in a particular office has access to electronic calendars and is able to choose a time and
place that is available and open on everyone's schedule. Each office employee can be tied into
the system by having access to a central electronic file.
Office Suites
Office suites are a group of programs. In the mid-1990s the term office suite was considered to
be a group of programs that allowed for word processing, spreadsheets, and sometimes data
entry. Now office suite includes Web design software, presentation software, page layout
design, and, in some instances, graphics editors. They are key pieces of productivity software,
used in most businesses.
Portable PCs
Portable PCs include personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptop computers, and notebook
computers. PDAs are proliferating. Among the most popular PDAs are the Palm and
BlackBerry.
Laptop computers are used by business travelers to make multimedia presentations, create and
Key Stage 4 Template Created by DepEdClick as per DepEd Order No. 17, s. 2022
send reports and spreadsheets, and do research on the Internet. Notebook computers are similar to
laptops, but usually smaller.
Groupware is a work group software, such as Lotus Notes. It enables members of a team to share
information on a project that they are working on together. Some of the functions of groupware
are document formatting, information management, and communication. The group is kept
informed via an electronic calendar. It runs an e-mail network that links the work group with
remote operations. It also includes an information system that handles all data relevant to the
business and provides instant accessibility throughout the organization. Decision support systems
facilitate group decisions by providing a formalized process for brainstorming, distilling key
concepts, prioritizing or ranking topics, and achieving group consensus.

TeleConferencing P.19
In the business world, many companies hold meetings via teleconferences. Teleconferencing is a
method of conducting meetings via telephone lines and/or satellites connecting participants'
terminals at two or more locations, with one or more participants per location. There are three
types of teleconferences:
AUDIO CONFERENCING — Participants make comments over the phone. They cannot see
each other, and they are not able to read body language. Audio conferences are connected by
telephone and/or speaker-phone.
VIDEO CONFERENCING — A CEO in Los Angeles could have a sales conference or interview
with a person in Washington, D.C. Both individuals are shown simultaneously or alternately on
the screen. The advantage of videoconferencing over audio conferencing is that individuals can
see as well as hear each other.
At one time, videoconferencing used large, expensive pieces of equipment that provided "room"-
based video-conferencing. Participants gathered at a central site in a specially equipped
conference room, looking at monitors displaying similar rooms at remote sites.
Key Stage 4 Template Created by DepEdClick as per DepEd Order No. 17, s. 2022
telephone call. It is a form of communication that uses bandwidth. Bandwidth is interpreted as
the speed at which information flows, and communication is the transfer of information from
one place to another. The connection between these two remote sites is called communication
channels.
Multimedia System
A multimedia system presents information by using a combination of sound, graphics, animation,
and video. Multimedia applications are used for business and education. Marketing presentations
are developed to advertise and sell products using multimedia. Sales representatives use a
computer, a video projector, and a display screen to make their presentations to the audience.
Interactive advertisements as well as job applications and training applications can be published
on the Internet or in a kiosk display.
Electronic Whiteboard
An interactive "smart" white-board with "electronic ink" and touch-sensitive screen can be
hooked up to a computer and a projector. The board magnifies images clearly and colorfully. The
board has annotation capabilities and notes can be jotted down directly over the projected
images, then printed instantly. Thus, there is no need for individuals to take any notes.
The advantage that a whiteboard offers over a simple projection system is that it can be used as a
projection screen and a writing surface through its connection with the PC, from which images
can be printed out. A white-board allows trainers and instructors to operate the computer as if
they were using a mouse, moving the cursor around on the computer just by touching a point on
the whiteboard. A projector is mounted on the ceiling. The screen should be centered so that all
participants have a clear view of the screen.
Smart Board
A smart board is a tool that improves the way people meet, share ideas, and teach. It looks and
feels like a regular whiteboard combined with the power of the computer. It lets users save and
print notes, collaborate on documents, share information, and run multimedia materials—video
or data conferencing across distances.
The smart board becomes a large, touch-sensitive screen when combined with a liquid crystal
display panel or projector. It can control Windows or Macintosh applications or multimedia by
touching the board with one's finger. By picking up a pen, presenters can draw over their
Key Stage 4 Template Created by DepEdClick as per DepEd Order No. 17, s. 2022
applications in electronic ink to obtain the attention of the audience. Users can e-mail notes to
participants and even cut and paste them into other applications.
Records Management
The processing capabilities and storage capacity of computers have made electronic storage and
retrieval of information a common practice in business. Computer-generated document
management, records management software, and imaging systems assist businesses with large
volumes of records. Imaging systems convert all types of documents to digitized electronic data
that can be stored and retrieved quickly. With the advent of superhigh-density magnetic storage
and online storage, this will be much less of an issue in the future.
A scanner is used in converting paper documents into a digitized form. A processor compresses
the image. A retrieval mechanism converts the image for viewing on a monitor, and output
devices process the image to a hardcopy format. Laser optical disks are suited for high-volume
record management because of their high capacity and durability.
Communications in Organization
In the business world, technology links employees working in teams; employees are expected to
be competent in various software applications and be able to make decisions and multitask. The
impetus of newer office technology has transformed the way businesses function in the
worldwide marketplace.
In the past, workers acquired a set of skills that became their tools of the trade. Since the mid-
1970s, workplace technology has changed swiftly; new technologies have been introduced and
replaced. Computer applications are updated continuously. In the twenty- first century, people
who work in offices need to be well versed on the use and application of the many emerging
technologies. Workers need to adapt to this ever-changing technology. In an increasingly
technological world, the expansion of American workers' skills depends upon commitments from
the workers themselves, industries, workplaces, and educational and training institutions.
All of these office technologies facilitate communication among people in organizations. All
businesses need workers who possess critical thinking skills, problem- solving skills,
interpersonal skills, and the ability to communicate effectively—whether in writing or orally.
Appropriate choices of communication lead to increased productivity and positive social effects.

Workers need to be technologically literate in order to compete in a world that continues to
change faster than one can imagine.
Technology systems can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware
or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization,
and techniques.
Technological systems are sets of interconnected components that transform, store, transport, or
control materials, energy, and/or information for particular purposes. In any system, how the
parts work together is as important as their individual characteristics.
A technological system can also have various subsystems. Take your smart phone, for example.
It has a camera, various apps, a touchscreen, a light, a vibration setting, and a speaker. These
are all subsystems that are technological systems themselves.

What are Computer Skills?
Computer skills fit into two categories: hardware and software.
Hardware skills allow you to physically operate a computer. Hardware skills can be as simple as
knowing how to turn devices on and off. They might also involve more complex tasks like
connecting machines to networks, changing parts or fixing broken devices. For these complex
tasks, many employers hire trained technicians with advanced computer skills.
Software skills help you to efficiently use computer programs and applications. There are some
software skills that employers may consider as prerequisites to employment. Employers may not
include some software skills on job posts under the assumption they are universally understood.
For example, many employers may believe all applicants have a basic knowledge of word
processing programs, like Microsoft Word.
Some common computer skills include:
• Analytics
• Social media
• Graphic design
• Microsoft Office
• Spreadsheets
• Email communication
• Marketing automation
• Data visualization
Certain software skills are more commonly desired in different fields. If you’re a computer
programmer, you may be required to know various coding languages like Python, C++, Java or
HTML, among others. Those who are applying for positions in administrative assistance will
likely need be experienced with Microsoft Office Suite, Google apps and accounting software.
To find out which skills employers in your industry might expect, spend some time researching
the most common software skills for your career. Carefully read job descriptions and take note
of the requirements listed there.
What are technical skills?
Technical skills, also known as hard skills, are qualities acquired by using and gaining expertise
in performing physical or digital tasks. There are many different kinds of technical skills.
Traditionally, people working in mathematics, computer science,
Key Stage 4 Template Created by DepEdClick as per DepEd Order No. 17, s. 2022
mechanics and information technology have used many technical skills. Today, however, many
more industries rely on employees with technical knowledge. For example, retail and foodservice
workers often need to know how to use point-of-sale (POS) software.
Some specific examples of technical skills might include:
• Programming languages
• Common operating systems
• Software proficiency
• Technical writing
• Project management
• Data analysis
Technical skills vary widely between industry and job type. For computer programmers,
knowledge of various coding languages is considered a technical skill. Customer service
representatives may need technical skills relating to customer management and telephone
systems. Teachers might need technical skills related to instructional technologies and software
applications ranging from student behavior monitoring to grading.
Application software (app for short) is a program or group of programs designed for end users.
Examples of an application include a word processor, a spreadsheet, an accounting application, a
web browser, an email client, a media player, a file viewer, simulators, a console game or a photo
editor.
