 What Is A Computer…
18

 An Electronic device
 Converts data into information
 Modern computers are digital
 Two digits combine to make data
 Older computers were analog
 A range of values made data
Advantages Disadvantages
 Speed  Violationof Privacy
 Reliability  Impact on Labor
 Consistency Force
 Storage  Health Risks

 Communications

 Types Based On Principal Of Operation
20

There are three different types of computers according to the principles of operation.
Those three types of computers are
 Analog Computers
Analog Computer is a computing device that works on continuous range of values. 

 Digital Computers
Digital computer operates on binary number system in which there are only two digits
0 and 1. Each one is called a bit.

 Hybrid Computers
A hybrid computer combines the desirable features of analog and digital computers.
21
 Types Based On Configuration
22

There are four different types of computers when we classify

them based on their performance and capacity
 Super Computers
 Mainframe Computers
 Mini Computers
 Micro Computers
 Types Based On Configuration
23

 Super Computers
The best in terms of processing capacity and also the most expensive ones. These
computers can process billions (floating point) of instructions per second. Used
for applications which require intensive numerical computations such as stock
analysis, weather forecasting etc.
 Ex: China's Tianhe-2, IBM Blue Gene (1 Thousand Billion FLOPS/s)

 Mainframe Computers
Mainframe computers can also process data at very high speeds i.e., hundreds of
million instructions per second and they are also quite expensive. Normally, they
are used in banking, airlines and railways etc
Ex: IBM System z9 
 Mainframe Super Computer
24
 Types Based On Configuration
25

 Mini Computers (Mid range computer)

Mini computers are lower to mainframe computers in terms of speed and storage capacity.
They are also less expensive than mainframe computers. Some of the features of
mainframes will not be available in mini computers.

 Micro Computers
The invention of microprocessor (single chip CPU) gave birth to the much cheaper micro
computers i.e.

 Desktop
 Workstations
 Laptop/Notebook
 Hand Held (PDA’s) etc
 What Is Internet
26

A global computer network providing a



variety of information and communication

facilities, consisting of interconnected
networks using standardized
communication protocols.

The vast collection of computer networks



which form and act as a single huge

network for transport of data and
messages across distances which can be
anywhere from the same office to
anywhere in the world.
 Why use the Internet?
27

 Apply for jobs or schools

 Fill out government forms
 Check bank accounts
 Communicate with family, friends and co-
workers
 Do research
 Learn new skills
 Read news
 Watch videos
 How to connect to the Internet
28

Three main ways to connect to the Internet

 Dial-Up (Old/outdated)
 High Speed/DSL
 Wireless Connection (Wi-Fi)
 Dial-Up Internet Connection
29

 Dial-Up
 All you need is a computer, phone-line and Internet Service Provider! (ISP)
 Not as fast as other Internet connections,
but often more affordable

Internet
Your computer Landline ISP
 High Speed (Cable/DSL) Connection
30

 Travels through fiber-optic cables

underground

 Needs to be connected by a Modem to your

computer
 Modem: A hub that connects the
computer to the Internet

 Faster than Dial-up

 Wireless Internet Connection (Wi-Fi)
31

This is what the

 Your computer must be a
“Wireless enabled” device
wireless symbol
 Your computer can pick up
would look like if
signals from different wireless your computer was
networks connected
 Some networks require
passwords or a subscription,
others are free
 No physical connection Requi.
 World Wide Web (WWW)
32

 Tim Berners-Lee and others at the

European Laboratory for Particle Physics,
more popularly known as CERN, proposed
a new protocol for information distribution
in 1991 based on hypertext

 Hypertext is a system of embedding links in text to link to

other text
 Today and the Future
33

 100,000 new web sites per month

 More than 80% of U.S. households online
 Access is available world wide
 Concepts of E-economy, E-world
 Massive impact on social lives
 Internet Growth
34
 The Internet’s Major Services
35

 The World Wide Web (WWW)

 Developed in 1993 by Tim-Berners
Lee
 Allowed connection of documents
 Required a browser to read documents

 Electronic mail (e-mail)

 Instantaneous transmission of
documents
 The Internet’s Major Services
36

 News
 Often called newsgroups
 Electronic discussions on several topics

 File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

 Sends and receives files
 The Internet’s Major Services
37

 Chat
 Public real time conversation

 Instant messaging
 Private real time conversation

 Peer-to-peer services
 Allows sharing of files among users
 Illegal to share copyrighted material
 World Wide Web (WWW)
38

 T h e Wo r l d Wi d e We b i s s y s t e m o f
Internet servers that support specially
formatted documents.
 The documents are formatted in a markup language
called HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
that supports links to other documents, as well
as graphics, audio, and video files.
 World Wide Web : Major Parts
39

The World Web is based on these technologies:

 HTML - Hypertext Markup Language
 HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol
 Web servers and Web browsers
 WWW
40
 HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
41

 HTTP is the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web

 HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what
actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various
commands

 HTTP is called a stateless protocol because each command is executed

independently

 The three main HTTP message types are GET, POST, and HEAD
 Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
42

 URL is the global address of documents and

other resources on the World Wide Web

 The first part of the URL is called a protocol

identifier, and the second part is called Resource
name and it specifies the IP address or the domain
name where the resource is located.

 A web browser  is a software application for retrieving and

presenting information resources on the World Wide Web
OR
  Browser is a software application used to locate, retrieve and
display content on the World Wide Web, including Web pages,
images, video and other files.

 Read and translate the HTML

 Display web content
 Famous Browsers
45
 Search Techniques
46

 Quote the exact phrase

 Use the keyword AND
 Use the keyword NEAR
 Avoid common words
 Use the site’s advanced tools
