 1.1 Introduction to Computers

Usually people think that computers are being used only by highly educated people, but this
thought is not correct. A computer can be easily used by an ordinary person as well.
The word 'Computer' is derived from an English word 'Compute'. It means 'to calculate'. We can
do several tasks with its help.
Computer is an electrically operated machine (electronic appliance) which works as per the
instructions of the user to give the desired results.
We had never imagined that humans will develop a machine that will be able to complete any
task in the blink of an eyelid. Today, computer is being used in every field whether it is
education, agriculture, art or business.
Computer is being very well used everywhere whether it is private sector or the government
sector. In the education sector, computer is being used so much that no work seems possible
without it. These days computers are being used to mark the attendance of students and teachers
in schools and colleges, and educational materials, question papers and other important tasks are
all being done using computers only. Use of computers has increased so much in art and business
that people like to sell or buy things using computers and for that they pay from their bank
accounts through computers only. It has now become possible to do all types of businesses using
computers.
These days no one likes to work on paper. People send and receive message through computers
only.

1.2 Operating System

The Operating system is an important part of a computer. It helps in the proper functioning of
computer's hardware and software so that it becomes easy to work on computers.
At the last level (Level A), we studied about Operating System in detail. Let's now revise it once.
(a) Desktop: The icon that we see on the computer monitor, that whole area is called the desktop.
(b) Mouse Pointer: The arrow mark that we see on the computer screen is called mouse pointer.
(c) Title Bar: Whenever we open an application or a program, we find its name written in a
bar at the top of the screen. This is known as the 'Title Bar'.
(d) Menu Bar: There is a line at the bottom of the Title Bar on which usually File, Edit etc. are
written. On clicking at them with a mouse, a list opens. That is called the Menu Bar.
(e) File: When we put our necessary documents in the computer or save them after typing,
they are saved in the form of a file. We can give a name to this file.

2
(f) Folder: When one or more files have to be kept in the computer, they are kept in a folder.
We can give any name to the folder. We can cut, copy and paste them from one place to
another. We have learnt about creating a folder in our last level.

3
1.3 What is a Word Processor and what are its functions?

know what is a word -processor and for which task it is used.

To type a text, edit it, decorate it, and to correct grammar and spelling mistakes, is called word
processing.
Word Processor has different components. Their description is as follows -

(a) Start Button: It is a button at the left bottom of desktop with the help of which one can
reach anywhere in the computer.
(b) Title Bar: Strip at the top of the word screen where the document's name is written.
(c) Scroll Bar and Ruler: Scroll bar is the bar which can be moved up and down, forward and
backward and this helps to move the text screen up and down, left and right. Ruler is at the
top of the text area on right and left. It is used to set the width of the page and to set left and
right margins.
(d) Insertion Point / Cursor: It is the short standing twinkling line for writing on the text area.
We can type in the text area with its help.
(e) It is necessary to pay attention to a few things while working on the word processor.
• When you open a new file, name it and save it.
• While formatting, take care of the font size as they should be easily read and there
should be appropriate distance between the two lines.
• While writing a document, take care of the grammar and word related mistakes. The
word processor itself suggests corrections in grammar and word mistakes.

Documents can be typed in word processor in a number of formats. This involves different ways
of writing letters, their size, colour etc. In word processor, number of words, lines and pages can
be counted.

1.4 E-mail
E-mail or electronic mail is a medium of sending and receiving messages through internet. This
is an important service that is available through internet. E-mail is an electronic form of
traditional mail in which we use computer to write a mail.

(a) Advantages of E-mail

• Message reaches very fast through e-mail

• The cost of e-mail is very little

• We can send letters, files, reports, pictures etc. through e-mail

4
(b) E-mail message: The messages that we send or receive through e-mail are called e-mail
messages.

(c) Address book: This is a place where e-mail addresses of different people are stored.

(d) Internet browsing: Receiving desired information from web (www) through internet is
called web browsing. Web browser is an application software with the help of which we
can do internet browsing. Web browser links your computer with the World Wide Web.

1.5 Spreadsheet

Spreadsheet is an electronic sheet made on computer just like a paper ledger sheet which
business people use to make their account statements and calculations. This is like a big table
consisting of rows and columns.

5
With the help of spreadsheet calculations can be done within seconds. If we change the numbers
on the sheet due to any reason, their totals also change automatically.
We use MS Excel to make a spreadsheet.
At the last level we have learnt to make a spreadsheet. We have learnt that the cell in which we
have to write data or numbers has to be clicked to make it active and then the data or numbers
are typed in it. This is the way all numbers are typed and the file is saved. To save the file we -
1. Click on the 'Microsoft Office' button
2. Then click on 'Save As'
3. A 'Save As' dialog box appears in which we type the file name and then click on the O.K.
button. By doing this, our file gets saved in 'My Documents' folder.
We have also learnt to open and print a file in MS Excel. To print a file we -

1. Click on the 'Microsoft Office' button

2. Select 'Print' option
3. When the 'Print' dialog box appears, click on the 'Active Sheet' and then click on O.K. This
way our file gets printed.
To open an already made file, we click on 'MS - Office' button. Then click on the 'Open' option.
When 'Open' dialog box appears, click on your file. Now click on 'Open' button. Your desired
file will get opened.

1.6 Power Point

Power Point is a part of the Microsoft Office. It is used to make presentations. In presentation,
we can show our data through pictures, sounds, videos etc. We have already learnt what is Power
Point, how it is made, how we insert pictures, graphs and text material in it. With that we also
learnt how to save the presentation and how to open an already saved presentation file.
We shall revise some important parts of it here -

(a) Opening a Presentation: We can make presentation in a window that opens on clicking

Start All programmes Microsoft Office Microsoft Power Point 2007

(b) Making a Slide: On opening a presentation, first a new slide opens. This is where we can
place pictures, audio or video. If we need an additional slide, we can get it by pressing
'New slide' button present on the 'Home' tab.

6
(c) Saving a Slide: To save a presentation, press Microsoft Office button and click on Save
option out of the different options that appear.

(d) Making a Presentation: For presenting we will first open a presentation or make a new
Intext 1.
one. After that click on the Slide Show tab. Now click on the Start Slide Show given at the
bottom and select 'From Beginning'. In this way the presentation will start on the screen.

1.7 Computer Security

Just name a computer and a number of problems like virus, hacking, password theft come to the
mind and it is right because if not taken care of, it would be very difficult to work on computer. For
this we have read about security steps in detail. Let's revise them.
There are various steps that can be taken to keep our computer and documents secure and
prevent them from hacking or cyber attacks that take place through internet. Some of the security
steps are being revised here:

7
(a) Password: Whenever we switch on our computer, it asks for user identity and password.
We can make a password here by mixing letters and numbers.
User name and password are mostly used for most of the functions like e-mail, internet
banking etc. We should keep on changing our passwords from time to time.

(b) Computer Virus: Computer virus is a kind of program that harms different components of
the computer. Many anti-viruses are available in the market that may be installed on the
computer to protect it from such problems. Norton, Quick Heal, Avast are some of the anti-
viruses.

(c) File Attachment: While file attachment we may use any type of attachment of file like
document, audio, video etc.

1.8 Internet
Now we will find out what is internet and what its utility is. What equipments are connected to
the internet? How information is given and taken? What are the main parts that make internet
function and give us information?
Internet is a vast storehouse of knowledge and information. Through it we can get any information
in a very little time. This is the fastest source for give and take of information all over the world.

Uses of Internet

• Internet is used in agriculture related jobs.

• Through internet we can send messages to our friends and relatives.
• We can talk to our close relatives living abroad via video conferencing through internet.
• Business persons can show their samples through internet.
• Use of internet is increasing day by day in the fields of education, banking, entertainment,
medicine, travel etc.

Accessories that are connected with Internet

We can be connected with the internet in two ways. By dialing on telephone line to the Internet
Service Provider (ISP) company's computer or directly connecting to the ISP. Mostly we connect
to the ISP through telephone line and a modem.
Main accessories connected to an internet are modem, router, wireless internet card, Internet
LAN System etc.

8
 Figure 1.1 Accessories of Internet

The main parts of internet with the help of which we can run the internet are -

(a) URL: The full name of URL is Uniform Resource Locator. One example is
http:www.nios.ac.in. It is also called web address.
(b) World Wide Web: World Wide Web can be called the collection of information that can
be used on internet. It is a service provided by the internet. The information on World Wide
Web can be present in the form of text, pictures, and sounds.
(c) Internet Browsing: Collecting desired information from web through internet is called
web browsing. Web browser is a software with the help of which internet browsing is done.
Web browser software links your computer with the world wide web.

Word Processing

We have already learnt about what a computer is and where all it is used, the role of operating
system in a computer and how it manages to co-ordinate between software and hardware.
Similarly, we have learnt about Word Processer, Spreadsheet and Power Point, which are
important tools of Microsoft Office. In this series we also learnt about internet, E-mail etc. which
are important parts of our daily life.

Objectives
After studying this lesson, you will be able to -
tell about the process of word processing used in a computer;
use the tab and indentation in a document;
learn to make the columns in a document;
do the page set-up;
see the print preview of a document;
learn the method of printing a document, and
use 'Word Art' in a document.

13
 2.1 Tab and Indentation

Tab is used for the formatting of a paragraph. By pressing the tab button on keyboard, the cursor
on the document screen moves forward by half an inch. By using this button we can present the
text in a document in different ways. It can be understood more easily with the help of the
following example:
Tab Tab Tab

Name City Payment Receipt

Navin Patna 3500 5000.05

Shobha Bhubaneswar 470.75 400

Mihir Kolkata 9683 8000.6

Rajesh Mumbai 3888.47 32

We can also set the tab by clicking on the mouse on the ruler given in the processor or click on
the page layout tab and then click on the paragraph dialogue box and choose the tab option. After
selecting the tab option select the tab stop position or write the distance at which tab has to be
set. We can set the types of tab from alignment option as well. It can be understood with help of
the following picture:

MS-Word Page Layout Paragraph Tab

Fig. 2.1: Tab and Indentation

14
 2.2 Indent

Indentation is known as a space between paragraph and

the page margin. With the help of indentation, we can
show one or more paragraphs as different from all
others. This can be understood with the help of the
picture given below. In this, picture no.1 describes the
page margin and no.2 describes the indentation.

Now in the Word Processor, we will know about uses of

identation and its user types.Identation is of four types in
a Word Processor.

(a) Left Indent: In this type of indent space is left in a

Fig. 2.2: Indent
paragraph with page margin from left side.
(b) Right Indent: In this type of indent space is left in a paragraph with page margin from
right side.

(c) First line indent: In this type of indent the first line of paragraph is indented on the right side.

(d) Hanging indent: In this type of indent all other lines of paragraph except first line are
indented on left side.

Fig. 2.3: Types of indent

Now, how we will use these types of indentation in word processor, we will learn the steps to do it.

Word Processor 2007 Page Layout Tab Paragraph Dialog Box Indent and Spacing Tab

This can be easily understood from the following picture. We can see at sign no.1 that 0" is
written in front of left and right indent. Here we can write the required indent and it is measured
in inches. Similarly we can set the indent at sign no. 2 as well.

15
 Fig. 2.4: Tab Set

Indentation can be set in one more way also which can be learnt easily from the following picture:

Fig. 2.5: Tab Set

16
In the above picture, there are markings from 1 to 4.Let's understand them in the same sequence:

1. First of all, click on the paragraph which has to be indented with the help of a mouse.
2. Now click on the Page Lay Out tab.
3. Set the left indent margin
4. Set the right indent margin.

This way we have learnt two methods of indentation.

So far we have learnt about the different parts of Word Processor. Now we will find out what a
page set-up is, how a page is set and in how many ways we can do page set-up.

Page set up means setting of a page according to the text. Before printing the text on a paper it is
necessary to check its size so that we know how it will appear after printing on a paper. Page set
up option is usually found in page layout tab of word processor.

The steps to open page set up are as follows:

1. First of all, we will select page layout tab of word processor.
2. In the page layout tab we will select page set up option present in the ribbon and in that we
will see the picture as follows:

17
 Fig. 2.6: Page set up

Page set up option has three parts

a. Margin
b. Orientation
c. Page size

(a) Margin: Margin means the space between the edge of the page and the text. We can reduce
or increase the margin as per our requirement. Margins are of different types -
(i) Normal margin
(ii) Narrow margin
(iii) Wide margin

(i) Normal margin: In this option margin is equal on all the four
sides. Top 1'' Right 1''
Bottom1'' Left 1"

(ii) Narrow margin: In this option margin of the page is half than the normal on all the
four sides.
Top 0.5'' Right 0.5"
Bottom 0.5" Left 0.5"

18
 (iii) Wide margin: In this option, margin of the page is equal on top and right. It is equal
on bottom and left.

Top 1" Right 1"

Bottom 2" Left 2"

Fig. 2.7: How to set the margin

(b) Orientation: Orientation means position. It shows the

position of the page and position of the text in it. Orientation
is the second option of page set up. It is of two types -

(i) Portrait - In this orientation, text is seen length wise.

(ii) Landscape - In this orientation, text is seen width wise.

Fig. 2.8: Orientation

19
(c) Page size: Page size means shape of a page. Page sizes are of many types:
• A4 (201*297 mm)
• A5 (148*210 mm)
• A6 (105*148 mm)
• A3 (297*420 mm)

Fig. 2.9: Page Size

2.4 Print Preview

Print preview shows how the document will look
on printing. It is mainly in the Microsoft office
button. The steps to open it are as follows:
1. First of all we select the Microsoft office
button of the word processor.
2. After selecting the Microsoft office button,
table linked to it opens in which print
preview option is available.
3. Now when we select this print preview
option, print preview window opens in
which the already selected version of text is
shown. We can see the preview of text
here.

Fig. 2.10: Print Preview

20
 2.5 Printing

Printing means to print the work that has been done on a paper. Basically our text is printed on a
paper. Steps to open printing options are as follows:

1. First of all we will select the Microsoft office button of word processor.
2. On doing this, a table opens in front of us.
3. Now we select the print option, in which this type of picture appears -

Fig. 2.11: Print

4. After selecting the print option, many options of printing are shown. In this we can print
one page at a time or many pages at a time.

2.6 Word Art

Word Art means the creative form of words. Words are written in a creative manner. Word art is
mainly in text group of insert menu.

21
To open it, the steps are:

1. First of all we will select the insert menu tab of word processor.
2. In insert menu option, select the text group option which is present on the ribbon. This way
we can open word art.

Fig. 2.12: Word Art

Word art is used to represent words in a creative way.We can make the text look very beautiful
in word art.The symbol of word art is ( ). When word art window opens, there are many ways for
writing the words.We can choose one option out of them and write the words in a creative way.
Let's find out how to do
word art:

1. First of all we select

any one option from
the Word Art window.
2. After selecting the
option, a text window
opens in which we
type the words. We
can also change the
type and size of the
words.

Spread Sheet

We have learnt about spreadsheet at the last level. We had read that we can interpret numbers
with the help of charts. Usually human beings have the ability to understand easily through
pictures in place of reading the text. After writing our monthly income on a spread sheet, with
the help of a chart we can easily find out in which month we have gained the most and in which
month we got less. In this chapter, we will study about charts in detail.
At the last level, we learnt the use of formulas. For calculating the sum of large numbers, writing
formula becomes difficult. For this we use function. At in this level we will know about function in
detail.

Objectives

After studying this lesson, you will be able to:

• tell about the objective of charts;

• describe the types of charts; make different types of charts;
• differentiate between formula and function, and
use a few functions.
•
•

26
 3.1 What are Charts?

We can show our data through pictures in MS Excel. Charts are of many types. Every chart has
many parts. Let's understand different parts of chart -

Fig. 3.1: Chart

3.2 Parts of Chart

(a) Chart Area: The place where chart has been displayed or made is called the chart area

(b) Chart Title: It shows the name (Heading) of the chart

(c) Data Label: Name of the data shown on the transverse and vertical axis is called data label

(d) Legend : It shows colour, design or symbol that is used in data series

(e) Data Series: It shows which row and which column is being used

3.3 Main types of Charts

We can make many types of charts through MS Excel. Let's know about some main chart types
that are used the most.

(a) Column Chart: Column chart is made of standing rectangular strips. Their lengths are in
proportion with the numbers they are representing.

27
 Jan Feb March April

Fig. 3.2: Column Chart

(b) Bar Chart: Bar charts are just like column charts that are used for comparing data items.
Their strips are presented from left to right. Their lengths are in proportion with the data.

Fig. 3.3: Bar Chart

(c) Pie Chart: Pie chart is a circular chart divided in separate segments. Every segment
reflects its proportionate value with respect to the whole.

Fig. 3.4: Pie Chart

28
(d) Line Chart: This chart is shown through lines. Through it we can show the tendency of
data value in definite time periods. To show what has increased with time and what has
decreased, line chart is very useful.

Fig. 3.5: Line Chart

3.4 Inserting a Chart

Now, let's now learn how to insert a chart -

1. First select the data for which we want to make a chart.

2. Now click on the 'Insert' tab.

3. After that select the desired chart type out of the various chart types shown in the 'Charts'
group.

4. We will see that the chart is made.

5. Now click on the 'Layout' tab. Then go to the 'Labels' group.

6. Then go to the 'Chart Title' and click on the desired option.

7. Now type the title of the chart in the chart title box.

8. Then click on the Axis title option and type the titles of the horizontal and vertical axes.

9. Now click outside the chart area.

10. Now the chart is complete as per the selected data.

29
3.5 Formula and Function
In the last curriculum we had learnt to write formulas. If we have to add cell A2 to E2 and write
the total in F2, then in cell F2 we will write the formula -

= A2 + B2 + C2 + D2 + E2

In MSexcel, this work can be done very easily and fast through function.
Function is such an option through which calculations can be done easily

Many functions are available in MS Excel but the functions used most often are :

1. Sum: Through this we can find the sum of numbers

30
2. Maximum: This function helps to find the maximum number in the selected cell range

3. Minimum: It shows the minimum number in the selected cell range

4. Average: Through this function, the average of the cell range is calculated

5. Count: Through this function we can find the total number of cells in a cell range

(A) Method of writing a function

Just like formula, function also starts with '='. It is written as -

= function's name (Cell range)

Cell range - (first cell : last cell)

For example. To find the sum of cells A2 to A8, we will write -

= SUM (A2:A8)

Click on the cell where you need the sum, type function and press enter key. You will get the
sum there.

What you have learnt

• We can show our data through pictures in M.S.Excel Charts are of different types - Column charts, ba
Function is an option through which calculations can be done easily
•

Power Point Presentation

Whenever we want to convey information or message to other people or want to explain a subject,
what do we do? Either we will read out the information or convey to them by showing pictures.
But now in the age of computer, this trend has changed. Now we do it through a PowerPoint with
the help of a projector. Its advantages are as follows:
• Through it we can provide full information.
• Certain pieces of information that may be left out when we convey orally but in this
nothing is left out.
• We can put sound effects in it and present information in a better way
• By adding videos in it we can easily explain even a difficult subject or it can be made more
interesting.
The presentation that we made earlier was too simple. At this level we will learn to make it more
interesting. Many facilities are available to make MSPowerPoint effective for example we can
add sound like somebody's talk, or a song or our own recorded voice. In the same way we can
add a video clip. In this chapter we will also learn how to run presentation in an automatic mode.

Objectives
After studying this lesson, you will be able to -
revise things learnt at level B;

33
 • make your presentation effective;
include recorded voice (audio clip) in your presentation; include video clip or movie in your presenta
• learn to make presentation automatic; make the slide show attractive;
• learn the method of making slides.
•
•
•

4.1 Let's first revise the information you got at level B

1. Describing a topic by writing, with the help of pictures, graphs, and by the medium of
sounds is called PowerPoint.
2. For making Power Point (presentation), we use MS Power Point.
3. Presentation is shown with the help of a projector on a wall or a screen.
4. We can make a presentation on a subject and save it in the computer and use it again and
again, whenever required.
5. The steps involved in starting a PowerPoint are -

Start Button All Programs Microsoft Office Power Point

Fig. 4.1: Opening a Power Point

34
6. We see two parts in Power Point screen. On the right side is the bigger part that is called
'slide' and on the left side is its smaller version.
7. Name of the Power Point file is reflected on the Title Bar. For the first time, the name is
written as 'Presentation 1'.
8. Slide is like a page in which different types of information is placed that may be text,
audio, video or a picture.
9. To make a new slide we click on the 'New Slide' button
10. To save a presentation, we can click on the buttons in the following sequence -

Microsoft Office Save Button Type File’s name Save Button

11. To open a previously saved file, the steps are

Microsoft Office Button Open Button Select File Open Button

12. To close the presentation, the steps are -

13. We can insert a new slide in an existing presentation. For doing this, we have to click on
the slide after which we want to insert a new slide. Then we will go to 'Home' tab and click
on 'New Slide' button. This way a new slide will be created.

Select slide New Slide button

14. To make our presentation attractive, we can format the words.

35
4.2 We can include sound also in our presentation
We can include certain special types of sounds in our presentation like mp3, mp4, midi, au, wav
etc. These are called file extensions. These are written after the file name and from these we
come to know for what purpose the sound has been recorded.
While using an audio clip one has to take care that the copyright of the audio clip is not violated.
Film songs are usually copyright protected and we should use them with caution.
We can use copyright material only after making the payment. We can use their small clips on
symbolic basis but using full audio clip without permission may invite penalty.

1. Adding sound or audio clip in presentation

(i) For adding an audio clip in a presentation, we will first open the prepared
presentation and click on the 'Insert' tab in the ribbon.

(ii) In the Media Clips option look for the speaker button where the picture of a loud
speaker can be seen. Click on its drop box.

(iii) Select second option 'Sound from Clip Organizer'. On clicking it a pane will open on
the right side in which you will find some media clips. Select the first option. We will
see its sign on the slide.
(iv) Now we will save this presentation. This way this sound will be added to our presentation.

(v) To listen to it we can run the slide show. You might remember that for this purpose
we use the F5 key.

Now when our presentation will run in slide show, we will hear the sound as well.

 Fig. 4.2: Sound in Presentation

2. Adding video to the presentation

Apart from pictures and sounds, MS Power Point gives us facility to add movies and videos
also.
To add video in our presentation we have to go through the following steps -

(i) Select the desired slide

(ii) Click on the 'Insert' tab. Go to Media Clips, click on the down arrow key of 'Movies'.
Select Movie from Clip organizer.
(iii) You will see Clip Organizer pane that shows available movie clips.
(iv) Click on the clip you wish to add. In the dialog box, click on 'Automatically' or 'When
Clicked' option. That clip will be added to our slide.

3. Running Slide Show

Now we will click on the first button (From Beginning) present on the left side of 'Start
Slide Show' group (figure 4.4). You will see first slide on full screen and the movie that we
had added. We will also hear the sound of the audio clip that we had inserted.
In the same way we can insert sound and movies in other slides as well.

4.3 Slide Transition

There are special effects in PowerPoint through which we change one slide to the other. This change
can be made very attractive with the help of transition.

37
 Fig. 4.3: Slide Transition

4.4 How can we make presentation automatic?

Now our presentation is ready. We will open the presentation and click on the Animation Button.
We will see picture 4.5 on the screen. There is an 'Advance Slide' button on the right side of the
'Transition to the Slide' in Animation Tab. The first group in it is 'On Mouse Click'. If there is ? sign
on it that means the next slide will appear only when mouse is clicked. On clicking this group ?
sign will appear and on clicking it again this sign will disappear.
We will remove this sign as we want to make the presentation automatic so that there is no need
to click. Now we will click the group 'Automatically After' below it. The sign ? will come here.
Now the slides will keep on changing one after the other till the end.
On the left side of this group '00:00' is written in a rectangle. It shows time for which a slide will
appear on screen in minutes and seconds. Now we will write 00:10 to delay the time for next
slide by 10 seconds. That means this slide will remain on the screen for 10 seconds and then the
next slide will appear.
Now we will save the presentation.
We will open the presentation and click the Slide Show button on menu bar (Fig. 4.4).

Fig. 4.4: Automatic Presentation

38
Now we will click on 'From Beginning' button on the left side of Start Slide Show group and the
presentation will begin.
Each slide will remain on the screen for 10 seconds and then the next slide will appear. We won't
have to click the mouse.
Animation Button Automatically After Time Lapse Apply to
all Save Slide Show Button From Beginning

4.5 Time Gap in Different Slides

It is not necessary that we give equal time for each slide. We can explain one slide in 2 minutes and
the other one require 5 minutes. We can give different time to different slides. We can try by setting
time in the rectangle 00:00 and fix time as per our requirement.
Now we will open mathematics presentation and click on the second slide. We will click on
Animation Button and give time gap of 15 seconds and save the presentation.
We will open the presentation, click on the Slide Show button on the Menu Bar, click on 'From
Beginning' present on the left side of the PowerPoint ribbon and our presentation will start.
Every slide will remain on the screen for 10 seconds but the second slide will be on the screen
for 15 seconds. This way we can fix the time for every slide to be visible on the screen.

Fig. 4.5: Time Gap

The transition of one slide to another can also be customized. There are different Transition
Schemes available. Select one of them. Let's select the first option by clicking on it. Now click
on 'Apply to All' button.

39
Now again we will open the presentation, click on the Slide Show button on the Menu Bar, click
on 'From Beginning' present on the left side of the PowerPoint ribbon and see that the second
slide is coming by rolling over the first one. We may select any other option of our choice and get
different results.
We can decide the time taken (more or less) in this process. For this purpose we can select the
desired button like Slow, Fast or Medium. By selecting them one by one we can select the speed
that we like and save that speed in our presentation. So, we can select the option and speed of
slide transition.

4.6 Customized Animation

We can make our slide interesting using PowerPoint. For example, we can show our text
appearing on the slide in different ways - from above, from bottom, flying from right or left etc.
Apart from this we can animate our text and pictures in different ways.
For doing this we use 'Animations' tab.
1. First of all, select the object that we want to animate Then click on the 'Animations' tab
2. Click on 'Custom Animation' in Animations group. On doing this an animation pane will
appear on the right side.
3. Click on the 'Add Effect' button in

Computer Network

By now you have understood the computer very well. We find that the use of computer is
increasing very much these days. Now the use of computer has increased so much that no area
has been left untouched. Computers are being used in the areas of education, business,
technology and several other areas. These days computers are used the most by the people
seeking jobs. But for this purpose they are using internet in computers.
Now we know that the use of computers has increased in all areas. We will now learn what
things are required to join many computers with one another.

Objectives

After studying this lesson, you will be able to -

• describe 'Network';
tell about working and utility of computer network;
•
• describe types of computer networks; tell the description of network tool; specify the advantages of net
• describe in detail the method of setting up of a computer network.
•

43
 5.1 What is a Computer Network?

Computer Network: Usually it is seen that 2-4 people get connected to one another through a
medium. There they have sharing of thoughts among them. That medium may be education,
business or employment; they get connected to form a network. Similarly when two or more
computers get connected with the help of wires, they form a network. Actually that network is
called 'Computer Network'. Many accessory tools are required to make a computer network. To
run a machine, a number of accessories linked to it are required. Similarly, to run a computer
network, a few appliances and mainly wires are required.
Today, the computer network has reached such a height all the computers of the world link to one
another through computer networks and share data or information. With the help of network, this
information reaches easily from one place to another. Now we will find out how many types of
computer networks are there.

5.2 Types of Computer Networks

Computer networks are mainly of three types -

(a) Local Area Network (LAN)

(b) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

(c) Wide Area Network (WAN)

(a) LAN (Local Area Network): In LAN (Local Area Network), computers kept in a building
or parts of multistorey building are linked to one another. It can be used for a limited
distance only. For example an office, school or a college etc.

Fig. 5.2: Local Area Network

44
(b) MAN (Metropolitan Area Network): MAN or Metropolitan Area Network can work only
inside a city. We can link all the computers of a city with this network. Its coverage area is
bigger than LAN. We have channels on our T.V. managed by cable T.V. network. These
channels come at the same time in the entire city. Cable T.V. network is a sort of MAN
only.
Apart from this, MAN is used to connect different computers of an organization present in
different offices in the city.

Fig. 5.2: Metropolitan Area Network

(c) WAN (Wide Area Network): WAN or Wide Area Network is bigger than both LAN and
MAN. Internet is the best example of this network. There is no defined boundary for this
network. This network links the whole world through satellite. It is also known as www.
These days the use of WAN has increased to a great extent.

(iii) What can we do with the help of a network?

(iv) What is the full name of LAN? Where do we use it?

5.3 Different tools of Network (Appliances)

By now we have come to know that when more than one computers are joined to one another, it
is called computer network. But to join these computers, we need some accessories about which
we will know now.

(a) Networking Cable

(b) Connector (RJ -45)
(c) Modem
(d) Switch and Wi-fi

46
(a) Networking Cable: Normally for networking CAT -5 or CAT -6 cable is used. They have
8 wires made of 4 pair of different colours.

Fig. 5.4: Networking Cable

(b) Connector: For networking, connectors are fixed on both sides of the cable. In the area of
computers they are called RJ -45 connectors.

Fig. 5.5: Connectors

(c) Modem: The main function of modem is to convert digital information to analog and
analog information to digital. Any information lying in the computer is in the digital form.
But when through internet it has to be sent through telephone line or any other medium, it
has to be changed into analog which is done by the modem.

Fig. 5.6: Modem

47
(d) Switch and Wi-fi: Switch is a device which plays a crucial role in making a network. One
end of the network cable is connected to the computer and the other end to the switch.
Similarly many computers are connected to one another with the help of switches.

These days we hear a lot about Wi-fi that internet works with Wi-fi. Mostly we use Wi-fi
connection on laptop. It is also used as network tool. It is a wireless system in which wires
are not used.

48
 What you have learnt

• Computer network is made by connecting more than one computers through special appliances.
LAN is used to connect computers kept in a building or parts of a multistorey building.
MAN network is used to connect computers kept in different offices of an organization in a city.
• WAN network is made by connecting a number of LAN and MAN networks. It is spread over the w

Internet

Internet is playing an important role in every sector related to computer in today's world. Internet
is mostly used in mobiles now a day. We can book rail and air tickets with movie tickets using
internet. We can also know happenings around the world sitting at our home.
We have already read about what is internet in level B. we have also learnt how information
exchange takes place using internet. You have already learnt about opening websites, getting
information etc with opening an e-mail account and sending e-mails in detail.

Objectives
After studying this lesson, you will be able to:
Tell the meaning of internet
Know about the classification of websites
Know the utilities of internet on following subjects:
Doing video conferencing
Doing instant messaging
Doing chatting
Using social networking
Knowing about e-commerce

50
 6.1 What is Internet?

Technically, internet is a network of networks. It also refers to connect many network groups
together. This network can be located at any place, state, country or world.

Fig. 6.1: Internet

6.2 Classification of Websites

We already know that any institution, company or businessman can tell their subject to people by
making websites on internet. One webpage consists of many web pages. We can identify the type
of websites by its name.
www.indianrail.gov.in

1 2 3

1. After reading the name, we know that this is the website of Indian railway.

2. It is also understood that it is a government website.

3. This shows the international code of India.

51
(a) Domain

Every website has an address on internet. For example, 203.94.243.70 but it is difficult to
remember this address. We can remember name easily. Internet also gives us the facility of
registering a website. Internet provides an address to the registered websites. We should
know that address to access the website. Internet converts this website into address. The
name of website is registered and internet provides an address. We should remember this
name only. It is known as domain. Internet converts website into address automatically.

Fig. 6.2: Domain

(b) URL

URL refers to uniform resource locator. Whenever we want to search any information on
internet, we use google search engine in web browser. We can understand URL by the
given example.
If we type www.google.com in the address bar if browser to open google search engine and
press enter then google web page gets opened. However, it should be noticed that your
typed address www.google.com gets converted to http://www.google.co.in. This is known
as URL or web address. The main fact is that there is no her website of the same name in

the world.
Fig. 6.3: URL

(v) . in is thecode of India. Answer the following questions:

(i)What is internet?
2.

(ii)Write the full form of URL?

(iii) Tell any three works which are done with the help of internet?

6.3 Utility of Internet

We have already learnt many things about internet in level B. For example, we already know that
we can gather information about country, world, new techniques about agriculture, new methods
in education, treatment in hospitals using internet.

We will learn about many other utilities using internet.

(a) Video Conferencing

Video conferencing has now become an important and modern medium of communication.
We can see computer screens of more than one people and can have face to face
conversation using projector and television screen. Video conferencing can also be done by
using mobile.

Tools of video conferencing

We will require following tools to use the technique of video conferencing.

1. Web camera or video camera
2. Computer monitor, projector or television

53
 3. Microphone (MIC)
4. Speaker
5. Internet
6. Computer

All these tools are connected for video conferencing. However, it should also be noted that
the person with whom you want to talk should also have all these tools.

Benefits of Video Conferencing

1. Video conferencing helps in talking and seeing the person even if in far away place.
2. A teacher can teach to students in different schools together. He can also monitor
their activities.
3. Many live news reports are shown in news channels using video conferencing.
4. A person can sit at home and can give job interviews. He need not visit other state or
country for his interview.
5. Video conferencing helps in treatment of patients from a doctor sitting in other
country. He can also help the doctor sitting behind the patient.

Fig. 6.4: Video conferencing

(b) Instant Messaging

We have already known that the modern technique of sending a message is e-mail. We have
to make our e-mail id before sending mail. We should know the mail id of other person to
send the message, this is also noted that all these Id consumer can be from different domain
or with the same company.

54
 Instant messaging is just opposite of e-mail. It means that for sending an instant message
we need special software or messenger between two persons. This is used in mobiles.

Fig. 6.5: Instant Messaging

(c) Chatting

Computer chatting refers to sending messages and receiving replies using special software.
This special software is called messenger, the message sent by messenger is received in the
screen or account of other persons at a fast pace. Chatting is an open option. It means that
the person with whom u want to chat should be online. You and your friend can read the
message written in messenger window.

(d) Social networking

Social networking is the subject which is talk of the town these days. Every person is
taking interest in social networking. Crores of people have become consumers of
networking in the world.
Let us know about social networking. Suppose I make my id or account on any social
networking website. Then we will send friend requests to each other. In this way, many
accounts will be linked together.
We can also send friend requests to other persons to whom we want to make our friend. If
he accepts the proposals then he will be added in our group. This will make our networking
or group bigger. This is known as social networking. We can share our pictures, thoughts
and talking with each other.

(e) E-commerce

The full form of e-commerce is electronic commerce. This is a medium of business where
companies sell their products using internet.
For using e-commerce, companies make their own websites. They also paste product name
with price and its photos. The consumer can ask more details about his desired product.

55
 Let us now understand how e-commerce works. Suppose you want to purchase a mobile
phone, you will visit the website of the company from which you want to purchase the
phone. Then, you will choose the mobile of your choice and payment method either using
internet banking, credit card or debit card. After giving the required details your payment will
be done and mobile will soon reach your home.
Note- be cautious to purchase only from original website. Fake website can cheat you and
waste your money.

(f) e-governance

The main objective of e-governance is to bring transparency between the relation of

common people and government.
We have always seen or listened that government has started a scheme and has ended the
scheme; but we were unaware of it. A tender was filled in a government office but only a few
people came to know about it.
To end such problems, government has established e-governance where the information
and activities of all government and non government institutions as placed on websites.
This system has helped common people to know about the organization.
We can understand it with an example:
If road is built on our road then we can use e-governance. We come to know the cost, work
time period and other details on the website. You can also ask the reason for delay for
work. E-governance was built so that common man can give suggestions or information
regarding the work.

Multimedia

We are living in the world where the use of technology has increased. Multimedia is also a part
of technology. Multimedia means using of more than one medium. Mostly, the use of texts,
sounds and videos etc together for a representation or expression is known as multimedia.

The first use of multimedia was newspaper which has tests, pictures and images together. Radio
only used audio broadcasting. Television was developed which used only images. Computers
were invented which included multimedia. We can now hear music on computer using
multimedia; we can see movies and pictures on computer. Further, animated pictures can be
created on computer.

Objectives

After studying this lesson, you will be able to:

• tell about multimedia;

• explain various tools of multimedia;
• describe the necessary objects and hardware required for using multimedia in computer; give knowledge
•

58
 7.1 Elements of Multimedia

Multimedia has five main elements:

A. text
B. image
C. audio
D. video
E. animation

Let us learn about them in detail.

A. text - words are presented in an attractive way on screen by using many types of font, style,
color etc.
B. images - when an object is presented by using image, it leaves a deep effect on our mind.
These images can be made by hand, clicked by camera or artwork prepared by using
computer. All these images are known as multimedia. It also includes 2D and 3D graphics.
C. audio - audio can be anybody’s voice or sounds like splashing of water, thunder of clouds,
clapping sounds etc. It also includes music coming out of a musical instrument.
D. video - whenever we see a film on computer, it is known as video. This includes motion
pictures which also has sound in it. It is same as watching movies on television.
E. animation - we can see any object or a cartoon moving and taking by animation. Just like
bows are shown in the wars in Ramayan from one corner to other. It can also be seen with
the moving chariot of Meghanad in Ramayan. These fixed images are shown in fast mode.
This fast mode help images moving.
Required Tools for Multimedia
7.2 are the minimum hardware tools required for running multimedia in your computer:
Following
A. High processing power – for running a multimedia on our system, we require Pentium-IV
processor or more. The speed of the processor should be minimum 1 GHZ.
B. Storage requirement – multimedia presentation files require more space in memory. The
disk space of the computer should be around 120GB. This also requires more RAM.
C. Operating system – multimedia requires such operating system which can access and
process the files in an easy and fast way. Today operating systems like windows-7 and its
updated versions are helpful in this regard.
D. Sound and display card - audio and video are essential parts of multimedia. Therefore, a
good sound and colour display card is also required.

59
E. Input and output devices – multimedia requires a good colored monitor with 24X or
higher resolution. Other required tools are CD ROM drive, key board, mouse, colour
printer (300 DPI or more capacity), scanner (300 DPI or more), video cameras, audio and
video recorder, speaker and microphone.

7.3 Areas where Multimedia is used

Multimedia can be used in many areas. Some of them are:

(a) In education area – the main goal of a good teacher is to give complete knowledge about
the subject to the students, some students learn with lecture method, some with experiments
and others by audio visual technique.

Multimedia has multiple uses for a teacher because we believe what we see. We can also
understand the concept easily by seeing. For example, poem or multiple tables have to be

60
 repeated again and again whereas film songs based on numbers are remembered by the
child easily. Teacher can also understand his subject easily through presentation. The role
of a teacher has been reduced to a facilitator of solution provider or guide now days.

Fig. 7.1: Multimedia in education area

Children can also study from many multimedia tools like presentation tutorial, virtual lab,
simulation etc. On-line courses have also helped people in studying from their home.

(b) In entertainment area – children enjoy entertainment using multimedia CDs. They can play
2D, 3D, action or other games using multimedia CDs. Children face completion from their
friends in video games on computer just like cricket, football, chess etc on play ground.
Multimedia is also used in news papers. Both TV and films have increases the use of
media. Sinking of titanic in ‘titanic’ or voice or walking of dinosaurs in Jurassic park or
Indian movies like bahubali seem to be real because of multimedia.

Fig. 7.2: Multimedia in entertainment area

61
(c) In training area – many multinational companies spend huge amount in the training of their
employees. Earlier they used to call some experts in their companies or they send their
employees to their place. This had huge expenditure but now this work is being done in
their company using multimedia. Multimedia tools help the trainee students to evaluate
themselves using simulations; NASA trains their astronauts about flight control using
multimedia. Pilots also practice in virtual devices on computer before their real flight in
plane.

Fig. 7.3: Multimedia in training

(d) In business - multimedia is maximum uses in business area. It is very important for every
business to make their concepts understood by the people.

Fig. 7.4: Multimedia in business

62
 Reaching out our product to common people is very easy using multimedia. The sales of
company products can be increased by making people understand their points using
presentation, electronic brochure, annual report, vision statement etc. Audios and videos of
multimedia files have a deep impact on people and they purchase the product easily.
Advertising has become very fast and better by the usage of multimedia, expansion and
advertising of the product can be done on internet using multimedia.
(e) In fashion – computer was first used in fashion in 1980. This was a useful tool for
designers. Today computer is not used not only to prepare designs but also in ordering
fabric, preparing advertisement etc. Computer helps us in contacting everyone using
multimedia.
There are many software available to make designing easy like Corel draw, cameo, dress
assistant etc.

Internet Banking
India is a developing nation. It is said that if development is not all round (meaning it covers all
the areas), then it is not true. Nobody had ever thought that a small machine like computer will
play an important role in our development. One machine does thousands of work and has
become an important part of our life. This is natural that computer has now become important in
areas of paying electricity and water bills with education, hospital, bank, railways, business etc.
You know that computer is now used in many areas. We will know about e-banking or banking
through computer in this lesson. We all know that we have to go to many places to do many
works. For example, to deposit electricity bill we will have to go to electricity department and
stand in long time and same goes to water bill. We always think that there should be such a
facility to do these works at home. Then, stop thinking because you can do these things using e-
banking. This saves our time. It also saves us from many troubles.

Objectives
After studying this lesson, you will be able to:
explain e-banking;
name the types of e-banking;
describe the list of facilities of e-banking;
know the precautions of e-banking;
explain the contribution of e-banking in development and business;

65
 8.1 What is e-banking?

E-banking means electronic banking. This is also known as internet banking, this facility is
controlled by bank. The main requirement of e-banking is to have an account in the bank. Bank
provides our account online. We can do all works related to bank using this facility. We need not
to go bank for those works. These works include checking balances, fixed deposits, transferring
amount etc. The main point is that these facilities can be used even when bank is closed.
We apply for e- banking after going in our bank. There is an employee appointed in every branch
of the bank to help customers in providing help about facilities related to e-banking. We will see
the example of e-banking facility of State Bank of India in this lesson. We will talk about
internet banking also. To open e-banking website of state Bank of India, we will type
www.onlinesbi.com in the address bar. The banking website of state bank of India will be
opened. We can also choose Hindi option here. The English version of this website will look

like figure 8.1.

8.5 Contribution of e-banking in development and business

Contribution of e-banking in development and business
This is a fact that money is playing an important role in the development related to a person,
society or business. Money was transferred personally but it is not possible everywhere. We can
understand it with examples.
Post office and postman are old familiar words with money order. Money order means giving
money, if we live in city we send money to villages by money order, but money order takes
many weeks to reach the person, government has now released instant money transfer which
helps in reaching money in few hours to our nearest post office.
E-banking requires account for both sender and receiver. Sender should also have e-banking
facilities in his account.
In this way we can transfer and receive amount relating to your business by e-banking.
