• Computer is an electronic genius that speaks the language of possibility, computes the realms of
imagination, and orchestrates the symphony of our digital world.

• Computers have parts that work together: a brain (CPU) for thinking, memory to remember,
storage to save, things to type and click (input devices), and screens or printers to show or share
(output devices).

• A computer system is divided into two categories: Hardware and Software. Hardware refers to the
physical and visible components of the system such as a monitor, CPU, keyboard and mouse.
Software, on the other hand, refers to a set of instructions which enable the hardware to perform
a speci c set of tasks.

 Generations Of Computer
“Ad pting The P st, Sh ping The Future”

• The modern computer took its shape with the arrival of our time. It had been around the 16th century when the evolution of
the computer started. The initial computer faced many changes, obviously for the betterment. It continuously improved itself
in terms of speed, accuracy, size, and price to urge the form of the fashionable day computer.

• First Generation 1940s – 1950s Vacuum Tube Based

• Second Generation 1950s – 1960s Transistor Based

• Third Generation 1960s – 1970s Integrated Circuit Based

• Fourth Generation 1970s – Present Microprocessor Based

• Fifth Generation Present – Future Arti cial Intelligence Based

 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
“Unle shing Computing Brilli nce”

• The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the primary component of a computer that serves as its brain. It
carries out instructions from programs by performing basic arithmetic, logic, control, and input/output
operations speci ed by those instructions.

• Key Elements of the CPU include -

• Control Unit : Directs operations of the CPU, coordinating the ow of data within the processor and
controlling other parts of the computer.

• Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) : Executes arithmetic and logical operations, performing calculations and
comparisons.

 Operating System (OS)
• An Operating System (OS) manages computer hardware and software, enabling users
to interact with the machine. Types include Single-user (single or multiple tasks),
Multi-user, Real-time, and Distributed OS, each tailored for speci c computing needs.

• Each type caters to speci c needs, whether for personal computing, large-scale
enterprise operations, real-time control, or distributed computing environments.

• The OS handles tasks such as memory allocation, le management, input/output

operations, and process management.

 Hardware & Software
• Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer. Computer Hardware is any
part of the computer that we can touch these parts. These are the primary electronic
devices used to build up the computer. Examples of hardware in a computer are the
Processor, Memory Devices, Monitor, Printer, Keyboard, Mouse, and Central Processing
Unit.

• So ware is a collection of instructions, procedures, and documentation that performs

di erent tasks on a computer system. It is divided into two categories:

• System Software
• Application Software

 System Softw re & Applic tion Softw re

• System so ware is a program designed to run a computer's hardware and

applications and manage its resources, such as its memory, processors, and devices.
It also provides a platform for running application software, and system software is
typically bundled with a computer's operating system.

• Application So ware are the software that works the basic operations of the
computer. It performs a speci c task for users. Application Software basically
includes Word Processors, Spreadsheets, etc. Types of Application software include
General Purpose Software, Customized Software, etc

 Future Of Computing
“Unveiling Innov tion”

• The future of computing, interwoven with AI and robotics, is poised for remarkable transformations:

• Arti cial Intelligence (AI) : AI is evolving rapidly, enabling machines to simulate human
intelligence. Future advancements will lead to smarter algorithms, allowing computers to learn,
reason, and make decisions. This will impact various elds, from personalized healthcare to
autonomous vehicles and advanced data analysis.

• Robotics : The objective of the robotics eld is to create intelligent machines that can assist
humans in a variety of ways. Robotics can take on a number of forms. A robot might resemble a
human or be in the form of a robotic application, such as robotic process automation, which
simulates how humans engage with software to perform repetitive, rules-based tasks.
