COMPUTER
The computer is an electronic device that takes input from the user and processes these data
under the control of a set of instructions (called program) and gives the result (output) and
saves it for future use. It can process both numerical and non-numerical (arithmetic and
logical) calculations.
ELEMENTS OF COMPUTING PROCESS
CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTERS
SUPER COMPUTER
A supercomputer is a computer with a high level of
performance compared to a general-purpose computer. MAINFRAMES
Performance of a supercomputer is measured in floating-
Mainframes are high-performance computers with
point operations per second (FLOPS) instead of million
large amounts of memory and data processors that
instructions per second (MIPS).
process billions of simple calculations and
transactions in real time , usually used in servers
MINICOMPUTER
A minicomputer, or colloquially mini, is a type of
smaller general-purpose computer developed in the mid-
1960s and sold at a much lower price than mainframe
and mid-size computers from IBM and its direct
competitors.

PERSONAL COMPUTER
A personal computer is a multi-purpose microcomputer whose size,
capabilities, and price make it feasible for individual use. Personal computers
are intended to be operated directly by an end user, rather than by a computer
expert or technician.
An embedded computer/embedded PC is a
dedicated computer system that forms an
integral part of a larger machine or system. In
contrast to an ordinary desktop computer, an
embedded computer is generally designed or
purposed for a single purpose.

INPUT DEVICES
WHAT IS INPUT DEVICE?
• An input device is a piece of equipment used to provide data
and control signals to an information processing system, such
as a computer or information appliance.
• The most commonly used or primary input devices on a
computer. However, other devices also input data into a
computer.
TYPES OF INPUT DEVICES?
MICR is a technology invented in the 1950s that's
used to verify the legitimacy or originality of
checks and other paper documents.

SINGLE USER
These operating systems are designed to support only one
user and allow them to run one task (program) at a time. They
are simple and lack multitasking capabilities. An example is
MS-DOS.
MULTI USER
These operating systems support multiple users
concurrently, each with their own user accounts and
individual environments. They provide resource sharing
and protection mechanisms to ensure that users' activities
do not interfere with each other.
REAL-TIME OPERATING SYSTEM (RTOS)
RTOS is designed to manage tasks with strict timing
requirements. They are used in systems where response
time is critical, such as embedded systems, robotics, and
control systems. Rtoses prioritize tasks based on their
deadlines to ensure timely execution.

GUARDIANS OF FINANCIAL FORTUNES:
OS SECURITY
• Operating systems provide layers of security, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive financial information,
which is vital in an age of digital threats. Data is precious; OS shields it.
• Case study-
The Target breach was a massive cyberattack where hackers stole credit card and personal information from
millions of customers. Proper OS security measures could have made a big difference. For instance
1. Timely Updates: Regularly updating their systems could have fixed known vulnerabilities, making it harder for hackers to get
in
2. Secret Codes: Encrypting the important information would have made it useless to the hackers even if they got their hands on
it
3. Early Warnings: An early warning system could have detected the unusual activity and alerted Target's security team before it
became a big problem.
