Computers in a Turn to the World
Changing next page.
The computer has only existed for 80 years, yet most of us can’t imagine life without
this miracle technology. What used to occupy entire floors of buildings and was operated
manually, now is able to fit on your desk, in your pocket, and even on your wrist! Computers

facilitate most, if not all, of our daily activities – from work, to school, to even entertainment.
It’s almost surprising to think about how fast we adopted computers and adapted our lives to
working with these machines. Many scientific and technological advances mark the beginning
of the twentieth century. These advances include inventions such as airplane, television, and
most especially the computer. Computers are changing our lives, they are sweeping away the
old ways of doing things with their superb speed and reliability.
As many of today’s basic functions are being simplified by technology, computers have
been on the forefront in developing innovations through its many functions.
In this digital world, having the knowledge and skills in computer servicing is the start
and most fundamental of all.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at how computers have changed the world:

b. System Programmers – are people who write codes and programs to implement the
working of the system.
c. System Operators – are people who operate the system and use it for different
purposes. Also called the end users like students, teachers, and other professionals.
INPUT – in this step, data are entered into the computer through input devices, such as
keyboard and mouse.
OUTPUT – You get the output once the computer is finished processing the data. It could be
displayed on the monitor, printed on paper, or heard through speakers.

www.google.com
Search Engine is a program that enables the users to search for documents or
information on the World Wide Web.
Address bar
Bookmark
Search tab
*To bookmark a page, just click the star icon on the right side of the browser.

www.google.com
Protocol
https://www.webopedia.com/TERM/U/URL.html
The beginning of the URL indicates which protocol the browser must use. The most
common protocols are Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Hypertext Transfer Protocol
Secure (HTTPS). With more attention being paid to online privacy and security today, the
more secure HTTPS is becoming the dominant protocol on the World Wide Web. Less
common protocols include ftp: (File Transfer Protocol) and mailto: (to open a mail client). The
term "web address" refers to a URL using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. It is not mandatory to
include the protocol when entering in a URL.
Domain namehttps://www.webopedia.com/TERM/U/URL.html
Many people use the terms domain name and URL interchangeably, but a URL incorporates
a domain name to create a complete address—it is not one in itself. A domain name is a
unique reference that identifies a website on the World Wide Web. It comes directly after the
protocol and is separated by a colon and two forward slashes.
Path
https://www.webopedia.com/TERM/U/URL.html
The path refers to the exact location of a page, post, file, or other asset. The path comes after
the domain name and is separated by a forward slash. Not all URLs will display a path due to
websites being able to rewrite URLs for simplicity.
3. Use the search tab or the address bar of your search engine to find information on the web.
When searching for an information on the web, the results are categorized – All, Images,
Videos, Maps, News, More,
