The How of Computers
THE HOW OF COMPUTERS A computer is an electronic device, operating under the control of instructions stored in its own memory, that can accept data, process the data according to specified rules, produce results, and store the results for future use. Data and Information Computers process data into information. Data is a collection of unprocessed items, which can include text, numbers, images, audio, and video. Information conveys meaning and is useful to people. Many daily activities either involve the use of or depend on information from a computer. Computers process several data items to print information in the form of a cash register receipt. A computer processes data into information. In this simplified example, the item ordered, item price, quantity ordered, and amount received all represent data. The computer processes the data to produce the cash register receipt (information). Information Processing Cycle Computers process data (input) into information (output). Computers carry out processes using instructions, which are the steps that tell the computer how to perform a particular task. A collection of related instructions organized for a common purpose is referred to as software. A computer often holds data, information, and instructions in storage for future use. Some people refer to the series of input, process, output, and storage activities as the information processing cycle. Most computers today communicate with other computers. As a result, communications also has become an essential element of the information processing cycle. The Components of a Computer A computer contains many electric, electronic, and mechanical components known as hardware. These components include input devices, output devices, a system unit, storage devices, and communications devices.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1.5 Storage, Input and Output Devices LEARNING OBJECTIVES
INFORMATION SHEET 1.1.5 Storage, Input and Output Devices LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, STUDENT(S) MUST be able to: 1. identify the output and input device 2. explain, elaborate and classify the different computer peripherals and its components INTRODUCTION A peripheral is a piece of computer hardware that is added to a computer in order to expand its abilities. The term peripheral is used to describe those devices that are optional in nature, as opposed to hardware that is either demanded or always required in principle. There are all different kinds of peripherals you can add your computer. The main distinction among peripherals is the way they are connected to your computer. They can be connected internally or externally. A computer peripheral is any external device that provides either input or output. Peripherals typically fall into the hardware category and include optional system components. Computer peripherals are add-on hardware to the computer to expand its abilities or improve its performance. By adding memory, computers are able to perform a lot better, or by adding video cards, the computers graphics create more detail. These are just some of the peripherals, although there is a lot more you can put on your PC some of them may not be compatible. Compatibility maybe an issue to some of the peripherals and may even cause the worst outcome –the PC refuses to boot or the PC refuses to recognize the peripheral being added. The easiest way to solve that would be figuring out where it started and you can start from there.

A Computer Vision-Based Pointing and Gesture Input Device
FlowMouse: A Computer Vision-Based Pointing and Gesture Input Device Andrew D. Wilson and Edward Cutrell Microsoft Research One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. We introduce FlowMouse, a computer vision-based pointing device and gesture input system. FlowMouse uses optical flow techniques to model the motion of the hand and a capacitive touch sensor to enable and disable in- teraction. By using optical flow rather than a more traditional tracking based method, FlowMouse is exceptionally robust, simple in design, and offers op- portunities for fluid gesture-based interaction that go well beyond merely emu- lating pointing devices such as the mouse. We present a Fitts law study exam- ining pointing performance, and discuss applications of the optical flow field for gesture input. 1 Introduction Today’s computing environments are strongly tied to the availability of a high resolu- tion pointing device, and, more fundamentally, to the notion of a single, discrete two- dimensional cursor. Modern GUIs (graphical user interfaces) combined with devices such as mice and track pads are extremely effective at reducing the richness and vari- ety of human communication down to a single point. While the utility of such devices in today’s interfaces cannot be denied, there are opportunities to apply other kinds of sensors to enrich the user experience. For example, video cameras and computer vision techniques may be used to capture many details of human shape and movement [24]. The shape of the hand may be analyzed over time to manipulate an onscreen object in a way analogous to the hand’s manipulation of paper on a desk.

Hardware Components of a Computer System
Hardware Components of a Computer Hardware Components of a computer refers to the collection of physical parts of a computer system that we can touch or feel. This includes the computer case, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It also includes all the parts inside the computer case, such as the hard disk drive, motherboard, video card, and many others. The hardware components of a computer or personal computer is categorized into 4 primary categories: - a. System Unit b. Display Device c. Input Devices d. External Devices a. System Unit A System Unit is the main component of a personal computer, which houses the other devices necessary for the computer to function. It is comprised of a chassis and the internal components of a personal computer such as the system board (mother board), the microprocessor, memory modules, disk drives, adapter cards, the power supply, a fan or other cooling device and ports for connecting external components such as monitors, keyboards, mice, and other devices. System Unit Components b. Display Devices A display device is a personal computer component and is an output device that enables user to view the text and graphical data associated with a computer program. Display devices commonly connect to the system unit via a cable, and they have controls to adjust the settings for the device. They vary in size and shape, as well as the technology used. 1 Display Device c. Input Devices An input device is a personal computer component that enables users to enter data or instructions into a computer. The most common input devices are keyboards and computer mice.
