SESSION 1: UNITS OF MEASUREMENT.
UNITS OF STORAGE
The smallest unit of measurement used to quantify computer data is: bit abbreviated with
a lowercase "b" bytes are abbreviated with a capital "B." It is important not to confuse
these two terms, since any measurement in bytes contains eight times as many bits. For
example, a small text file that is 4 KB in size contains 4,000 bytes, or 32,000 bits.
1 Bit = Binary Digit

8 Bits = 1 Byte
1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte
1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
1024 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabyte
1024 Yottabytes = 1 Brontobyte
1024 Brontobytes = 1 Geopbyte
A word is a fixed sized group of bits that are handled together by the system;
Units of speed (frequency)
The speed of CPU measured by unit called: Hertz (Hz)

1 Hz represent 1 cycle per second.
It is also used to measure the speed of computer processors.

Units of Data communication
Bit per second is abbreviated bps or bit/sec. It is a common measure of data speed for
computer modems and transmission carriers. As the term implies, the speed in bps is
equal to the number of bits transmitted or received each second.
Unit of display resolution
Pixel is actually short for "Picture Element." These small little dots are what make up the
images on computer displays, whether they are flat-screen (LCD) or tube (CRT) monitors.
The screen is divided up into a matrix of thousands or even millions of pixels.
The screen resolution tells you how many pixels your
screen can display horizontally and vertically. It's written
in the form 1024 x 768. In this example, the screen can
show 1,024 pixels horizontally, and 768 vertically:
If you're buying a monitor for your desk, go for a screen

sized 21" or bigger, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 or
more. This is known as a full HD screen, because the
resolution is capable of displaying high definition video.
Unit of frequency of rotation
A revolution per minute is a measure of the frequency of rotation, specifically the

number of rotations around a fixed axis in one minute. RPM is a measurement of how
many revolutions a computer's hard drive makes in a single minute. RPM can also refer to
the revolutions per minute a computer case fan or heat sink.
Unit of physical dimensions
Inch: Measuring how long things are, how

tall they are, or how far apart they might be
are all examples of length measurements.
An inch is defined as exactly 2,54

centimeters.
Screen size is measured in inches,
diagonally from corner to corner
Pound: A unit of weight. 1 kilogram is approx. 2 pounds.

SESSION 2: STORAGE DEVICES - WORD FORMATION.
Word formation: In a sentence or text you have to change the form of a word, from a
noun to an adjective, or from a verb to a noun. Example:
Sing (v) / Singer (n.) Singing (adj.) lesson
VERB NOUN ADJECTIVE

store storable
install installing
connections
improvement
replacing
secure
removable
read
protection
readable
READING 1: Put the words in brackets in the correct word formation.

Mass storage devices can ………… (store) vast amounts of information ………. (read) by
a computer. There have been many different types of mass…………. (store) devices. In
the past, mass storage devices such as the floppy drive and tape drives were used, but
they generally have been replaced by storage devices with higher capacities.
Hard Drives originally invented by an IBM engineer in 1956, the hard drive has become
the most common mass storage device in the …………………… (compute) world. Just
about every modern computer system has a hard drive installed. Modern hard drives
typically come in two: internal hard drives and external hard drives. Internal hard drives are
built to be installed in a computer case. Many have exposed circuitry and lack of
………………….. (protect) from the environment. External hard drives have
…………………… (enclose) that allow them to be handled without fear of damage. They’re
designed to be portable, allowing you to take them from computer to computer.
Optical Discs are …………………….. (remove) mass storage devices that are read by a
laser sensor. The first optical discs used for computer storage were ……………………
(write) compact discs, or CD-Rs, and ……………………… (rewrite) compact discs, or CD-
RWs. They are largely the same as the CDs used for music, but they can be written on by
a low-cost drive in the computer. CD-RWs are distinguished from CD-Rs by the fact that
CD-RWs allow the user to delete files and write on the disc again. The typical CD-R or CD-
RW can hold up to 700 megabytes of data. CDs were followed by various versions of

INGLÉS TÉCNICO II
DVDs. The …………………. (digit) versatile/video disc, or DVD, is an optical disc format
with a 4.7 gigabyte capacity.
USB flash drives became popular as a way to store and transport large files. They consist
of a small circuit board, flash memory chips, a plastic enclosure and a USB
……………………. (connect). With their small size, large capacity and improved
……………………. (rely), USB flash drives have all but replaced floppy disks and optical
discs as the dominant portable mass storage device.
Solid-state drives, also known as SSDs, are mass storage devices intended to replace
the hard drive. An SSD is similar to a normal hard drive, as it uses the same connections
and interface, but instead of a ……………………. (spin) magnetic disk, it uses solid state
memory. SSDs have extremely fast read and write times because they don’t rely on
moving parts to physical “seek” for data. Solid-state drives have improved reliability as
there are no mechanical parts to fail or wear out.
READING 2: Read the text about CLOUD STORAGE.
Cloud storage is simply a term that refers to online

space that you can use to store your data. As well as
keeping a backup of your files on physical storage device.
Cloud storage provides a secure way of remotely storing
your important data. Online storage solutions are usually
provided using a large network of virtual servers. Also
Known As: Online storage, Virtual drive.
Where does the expression 'The Cloud' come from? When designing computer networks,
engineers often connect computers to each other with lines. Such lines represent cables
and connections. Switches and servers are also often connected to each other in this way.
When networks are connected to one another, engineers often use an abbreviation or
representation of a network - a drawing of a cloud.
1. TRUE OR FALSE:
Online storage is a remote storing of your data. ( )
Cloud comes from the idea of protection. ( )
Google Drive gives more free storage than Mozy. ( )

INGLÉS TÉCNICO II
Dropbox gives the freest storage. ( )
2. What was the capacity of a CD-ROM?

3. It is possible to record a movie of 5 GB in a DVD-Rom ( )
4. Is it possible to record a video game for PlayStation 3 in a Blu-ray disc?
READING 3: ONLINE STORAGE: Fill in the gaps using the words from the list.
update reliability accessibility backup

subscription service provider flash disk drive account
trial mobile device feature server
Online storage lets you store data, such as word documents, videos or audio files in a
secure s…………., accessible through the Internet, “the cloud”. Instead of keeping files on
a computer at the office or at home, you can access your files while on the go -- just log in
to any computer or m…………………. connected to the internet. Many sites offer this
service for free such as Windows Live Skydrive and ADrive with limited data storage, while
others offer it as a monthly s……………….. with a larger capacity for storage such as
Mozy.com or Box.net.
Each online storage provider offers different features when you sign up for an
a…………………... Aside from the amount of storage space, others like Dropbox and
Box.net offer syncing files on your desktop so you can easily u…………. the content of
your online storage account by dropping files in a particular folder on your computer. You
can also share these files to others you invite -- a handy f……………………...when
working with others on a project.
Online storage is an alternative to keeping a …………………disk of important files or extra
storage for your computer when it's running low on space. One main advantage for having
online storage is its …………………….since you can access it anytime, anywhere. If you're
planning to go on a business meeting outside the country, you either have the choice of
carrying around documents in your laptop or………………………, or have it handy in your
online storage account. In this case, with online storage, you won't need to worry about the
loss of important documents when your laptop crashes or a flash disk is lost.
When choosing the right ………………………………for online storage purposes, you
should consider what kind of data you plan on storing, how much storage you need and
the purpose for storing it online. If using it for work, check out the reviews for
…………………………. and up time as well as features available for file sharing with other
co-workers. If choosing between paid and free providers, keep in mind, some offering free
services provide it as a …………………….. for their paid services. Although these free
accounts may offer limited storage space this can be a good and reliable choice if you only
need a limited amount of space.

BASIC TERMS USED IN WINDOWS WORD
Format: Formatting involves specifying the font, alignment, margins, and other properties.
The format is the layout of a document. The format determines how the document will
appear on the screen and how it will look when printed.
Alignment: The alignment refers to the way lines of text are arranged relative to the edges
of a block of text. There is also an alignment option called justified. In text that is justified
both the right and left sides of the text will appear to line up.
Tab: The tab function in a word processor works much like the tab function on a
typewriter. Tab stops can be set in the ruler at the top of the page. When the tab key is
pressed, the cursor will move to the next tab location. This allows the user to indent
paragraphs and lists.
Margins: Margins are the blank space to the left and right sides and at the top and bottom
of a page. The size of the margins can be increased or decreased.
Header/Footer: The header often includes information like names and titles. The footer
consists of one or more lines of text that appear at the bottom of every page of a
document. The footer often includes the page number.
Line Spacing: Line Spacing refers to the number of blank spaces between lines of type.
The most common line spaces are single-spaced and double-spaced.
Table: A collection of data arranged in rows and columns. Tables are commonly used in
word processing programs. They are also used in spreadsheets and database programs.
Spell/Grammar Check.
Word processing programs contain a spell check program which can verify the correct
spelling of words in a document.
Indent: An indent is one or more spaces that are used to move the text to the right of the
left margin.
Ruler: In a word processor, you can use the ruler to set the indent, margin and tab
markers and this can allow complex formatting options. Never use the space bar and
return key to align text.
Template: Templates establish the initial document setting and formats. A word
processing program like Microsoft Word uses the “normal” template as the basis for all
documents. A user can modify the “normal” document, and/or may create other templates
to use.

INGLÉS TÉCNICO II
Bullets & Numbering: A word processing program can automatically add bullets and/or
numbers to the text.
Print Preview: This is a very useful feature. Click on the

menu choice or icon for a Print Preview and you will be
shown an image of exactly what the printed output will look
like.

SESSION 8: ALTERNATIVE PRESENTATION SOFTWARE.
Recently though, other companies have begun to develop other presentation programs,
which have certain advantages over PowerPoint. Here are three:
1. Google Drive Presentation is similar to PowerPoint but

is online. You can access it for free through Google Drive.
You will first need to set up an account with Google. If you
have a Gmail address you are already set.
Some of the advantages of Google Presentation include:

- It is free!
- It is very simple and easy to use.
- You can easily send the presentation to someone.
- It is easy to collaborate with a group even when
you are not together.
- You can work on your presentation anywhere you
have Internet access.
- You don’t have to worry about forgetting a USB.
- You can download the presentation as a
PowerPoint, jpeg, or pdf file.
- It is easy to organize and find your presentations on your computer.
2. Prezi is quite different from Power Point. First, you create

your presentation online. To do that you need to sign up for
a free account on their website: http://prezi.com/
The biggest difference from PowerPoint though is that it is

non-linear. PowerPoint slides go in a straight sequence
but Prezi allows you to move around the presentation in
different directions, zooming in and zooming out. It has a
lot of fun templates to choose from. You can try to find
one that matches the theme of your presentation. If you
choose well, you make a very creative and unique
presentation that will impress your audience.
The negative points of Prezi are:
- If you use the free version, your presentations are public. So you shouldn’t put any
personal information or material you don’t want to share.
- The non-linear format can be confusing or dizzying for some people.
- If you want to present offline, you can download your presentation, but then you cannot
make any more changes to it.

INGLÉS TÉCNICO II
3. Keynote: It is also worth mentioning this program

from Apple for Mac computers and iPads. You have
probably seen pictures of Steve Jobs using Keynote
to introduce new Apple products.
Keynote works similarly to PowerPoint, but some

people believe it is better for graphics and typography (e.g. fonts for text). Once you get
used to it, it is also very user-friendly. The downsides are that you must be using an
Apple device and it is not free.
Whichever software you choose, remember to think about your audience when you are
creating your slides. Ask yourself what will help them to best understand your message.
According to the reading, write advantages and disadvantages.

SESSION 11: TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEM (O.S.)
The most important program on any computer is the Operating System or OS. The OS is
a large program made up of many smaller programs that control how the CPU
communicates with other hardware components. In other words, operating systems make
computers user friendly.
Types of Operating system
GUI – (Graphical User Interface), a GUI operating system contains graphics and icons
and is commonly navigated by using a computer mouse. Examples of GUI operating
systems are: System 7.x , Windows 98 and Windows CE.
Multi-user - A multi-user operating system allows for multiple users to use the same
computer at the same time and different times. See the multi-user definition for a complete
definition. Examples of operating systems that would fall into this category are: Linux ,
UNIX and Windows 2000.
Multiprocessing - An operating system capable of supporting and utilizing more than one
computer processor. Examples of operating systems that would fall into this category are:
Linux, UNIX and Windows XP.
Multitasking - An operating system that is capable of allowing multiple software

processes to run at the same time. Examples of operating systems that would fall into this
category are: Linux, UNIX and Windows 8.
Multithreading - Operating systems that allow different parts of a software program to run
concurrently. Examples of operating systems that would fall into this category are: Linux,
UNIX and Windows 2000.

SESSION 12: TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEM ERROR.
1. System errors. These are moderately dangerous types of errors among those that can
pop up on your PC. System errors are caused by malfunctioning hardware components,
corrupted operating system modules, etc.
2. Runtime errors. Runtime errors are caused by corrupted or malfunctioning system files
or software executables. Most runtime errors cause the application that caused it to
shut down. However, more serious runtime errors may cause the system to become
unstable or unresponsive, leaving you with no choice but to reach for the Reset button.
3. Stop errors. Stop errors are caused by corrupted hardware, especially malfunctioning
RAM modules and bad sectors on hard disks. Stop errors can be difficult to resolve at
times.
4. Device Manager Errors. These are usually caused by corrupted driver files or
malfunctioning hardware components. In case of the former cause, the problem is
usually solved simply by reinstalling or updating the drivers. However, the latter cause
can often be solved only by replacing hardware components.
5. POST code errors. POST code errors are caused by malfunctioning hardware
components, and are characterized by short beep sounds from the tiny internal speaker
of your motherboard. POST code errors occur when you press the power button to turn
on your PC.
6. Application errors. These can be caused at any point of time. As the name suggests,
these are caused by applications while those are running. These are usually caused by
glitches in the program code itself. These are usually resolved by updating the program
to its latest version.
7. Browser Status Codes. These are caused by problems faced by browsers when trying
to access a website. These can be caused by misplaced web pages in the server of the
website itself, or due to connection problems. For instance, a 404 error would indicate
that the browser is trying to access a webpage that does not exist in the specified
location.

SESSION 16: NETWORKING
Local Area Networks (LAN): Generally called LANs, is privately-owned networks within a
single building or campus of up to a few KM in size. They are widely used to connect
personal computers and workstation in company offices and factories to share resources
(e.g., printers) and exchange information.
A metropolitan area network, or MAN is basically a bigger version of a LAN and normally
uses similar technology. It might cover a group of nearby corporate offices or a city and might
be either private or public. A MAN can support both data and voice, and might even be
related to the local cable television network.
Wide Area Networks (WAN): Spans a large geographical area, often a country or continent.
It contains of machines intended for running user (i.e., application) programs. We will follow
traditional usage and call these machines hosts. The term end system is sometimes also
used in the literature. The hosts are connected by a communication subnet, or just subnet for
short. The job of the subnet is to carry messages from host to host, just as the telephone
system carries words from speaker to listener. By separating the pure communication
aspects of the network (the subnet) from the application aspects (the hosts), the complete
network design is greatly simplified.
TYPE OF TOPOLOGY: There are 3 topologies to choose from that are in use today.
- Bus: This is a network that uses a single network cable from one end of the network to
the other. The network devices are connected in line.
If the network cable breaks anywhere, then the whole network is down
- Ring: All devices are connected to one another in a continuous loop, or ring.
- Star: All data flows through a central hub or switch, a common connection point for the
devices in the network.

INGLÉS TÉCNICO II
TYPE OF ARCHITECTURE:
- Client – server network: A computer acts as a server and stores and distributes
information to the other nodes, or clients.
- Peer – to – peer network: All the computers have the same capabilities. They share files
and peripherals without requiring a separate server computer.

HOW TO INSTALL A WIRED MODEM ROUTER (Translate)
1. Connect ADSL Line.

Use ADSL cable to connect it to a telephone wall socket or receptacle. Plug one end of the cable
into the Line port (RJ11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the Router and insert the other end into
the RJ11 wall socket. The ADSL connection represents the WAN interface, the connection to the
Internet. It is the physical link to the service provider’s network backbone and ultimately to the
Internet.
2. Hub or Switch to Router Connection.

Connect the Router to an uplink port (MDI-II) on an Ethernet hub or switch with a straight-through
cable If you wish to reserve the uplink port on the switch or hub for another device, connect to
other MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.) with a crossed cable.
3. Computer to Router Connection.

You can connect the Router directly to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet adapter installed on a PC
using the Ethernet cable-10/100BASE-TX.

SESSION 19 – 20: TECHNICAL READING.
MOBILE PHONES
Mobile phones (BrE.) or cellular phones (AmE.), are

devices that enable communication to all types of
telephones while moving over a wide area called the
coverage area. Cellular phones are also abbreviated by
cell phones.
The term “cellular” comes from the fact that the phone
calls are made through base stations, communications
towers or antennas, which divide the coverage area into
cells. As you move from cell to cell, the calls are transferred to different base stations
belonging to the same or a different telephone company. This capability of mobile phones is
called roaming. The phone is said to be out of range when it cannot communicate with a base
station.
The first cell phone that was for sale was in Japan. They made it in 1979. Cell phones
became available for sale in the U.S. in 1983. At first, cell phone calls were hard to make.
Only a few people in one place could talk at the same time. They were big and heavy. Many
times the calls would end, and the call was lost.
CELL PHONE GENERATIONS
First Generation (1G) phones started in the 1980s when

Motorola introduced the first hand-held phones. They used
analogue technology and the main drawback was the small
number of channels that could be used at a time.
Second Generation (2G) phones started in the 1990s. The

introduction of digital transmission methods, increase the
number of channels, the speed of transmission between the phone and the base station. The
most common standard technology was GSM (Global System for Mobile communications).
One of the features of this technology is the use of SIM cards, a type of smart card that
contains the user’s information, the connection data and the phonebook. It also enables the
user to change service provider without changing the handset.
Third Generation (3G) offers a high speed data transfer capability. Some of these phones are
called smart phones and combine PDA capabilities with the usual functions of a digital phone.
The new communications standard, UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System)
enables the multimedia transmissions.

INGLÉS TÉCNICO II
Fourth Generation (4G) But it’s 4G that’s really allowed smartphone technology to spread its
wings. That’s because it’s much, much faster than 3G. So when you want to download a new
game or stream a TV show in HD, you can do it without buffering and lags that make the
experience not worth the wait.
EXERCISES
1. Complete the text with the words of the chart.
Out of range – coverage area – base stations – mobile phones – cellular phones –
cells - roaming
Mobiles phones, also called _____________________, or cell phones for short, need a
network of towers or antennas to transmit calls. In a cellular system, a city is divided into
smaller sections or ________________ where the ________________ usually occupy a
central position. When you are outside your service provider’s __________________ area,
your telephone may become out of ______________ unless your telephone allows
________________, for example the ability to use another service provider’s network.
2. Read and write True (T) or False (F).
a. SIM cards enable users to keep important information. ( )

b. 1G phone had a slower transmission speed than 2G. ( )
c. People won’t be able to watch live TV on a 4G phones. ( )
d. The first cell phone sold was in USA. ( )
e. GSM started to be used in the 80´s. ( )
f. 2G phones introduced analogue technology. ( )
g. UMTS has made video phones ( )
