    Introduction to Computer Applications

    • History of the Modern Computer


    (Assignment1)
    Computer: A programmable electronic
    device that can store, retrieve, and
    process data.
    The word “Computer” emerged during
    WWII, people who operated desk
    calculators were called: Computers.
    Types of Computer
    Computer Generations
    • Generation in computer talk is a step in

    • Originally it was used to distinguished
    between various hardware technologies, but
    now it has been extended to include both
    hardware and software
    • Till today there are five computer generations
    5 basic operations of a Computer
    • Inputting: the process of entering data and instructions into
    the computer system
    • Storing: saving data and instructions to make them readily
    available for initial or additional processing
    • Processing: performing arithmetic operations or logical
    operations (= , < , >) on data to convert them into useful
    information
    • Outputting: the process of producing useful information for
    the user such as printed reports
    • Controlling: Directing the manner and sequence in which all
    of the above operations are performed
    Basic organization of a Computer system
    Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
    • ALU of a computer system is a place where the
    actual executions of instructions take places
    during processing operation.

    Control Unit (CU)


    • CU of a computer system manages and
    coordinates the operations of all other
    components of the computer
