is it true that the brain is a sophisticated information processor? The human brain is the most important part of the nervous system. The brain along with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system and together they control all of the body’s important functions, such as motor functions, speech, vision, hearing and also involuntary functions like breathing. Many of these functions are localised to a specific area of the cerebrum. The cerebrum is split into four lobes; the frontal, parietal
the computer hardware to communicate and operate with the computer software. OS is the software that supports a computer 's basic functions, such as scheduling tasks, executing applications, and controlling peripherals. It is a program that acts as an interface between the user and the computer hardware and controls the execution of all kinds of programs in computer/computer devices. The users of the computer interact with the system and application software which are installed and function in OS
Explain the purpose of operating systems (P2) The operating system whatever it may be (Windows or Linux) it is the most important program that runs on a computer. All general purpose computers require an operating system in order to run other programs. The Operating system performs essential basic tasks such as recognizing input from the keyboard, keeping track of files and their directories on the disk, the sending output to the display screen and the controlling of peripheral devices such as keyboards
Goals and Objectives The module served as an introduction to basic computer skills. All students completing this course will be able to operate a computer, familiarize themselves with computer terms, usage and get acquainted with core areas of computer software. The students will have a better working knowledge in regards to the concepts and techniques of computer operations. Students will be better prepared to enter into the labor market and or be better prepared for today’s employment demands
Introduction After several decades of development, computers have changed a lot. Nowadays, it is quite hard to work without any assistance of computers in most areas, even some traditional fields, such as agriculture, tourism, education etc. A computer is defined as “a general-purpose device that can be programmed to carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically” (“Computer,” 2015). In other words, it is a device which can solve some sort of problems through calculating data or
Robert Sedgewick’s passion is computers technology and was gifted with the proficiencies to teach it to ambitious students. Robert Sedgewick began his career in computer science at IBM and is presently a professor at Princeton University. Sedgewick has written over 16 books computer science algorithms and various programming languages processes and procedures. Sedgewick first book in 1982, simply titled Algorithms cover compilers technology, and was followed by Algorithms 2nd Edition, Algorithms
➢ What is a computer? Why it is also known as a data processor? A device that computes, especially a programmable electronic machine that performs high-speed mathematical or logical operations or that assembles, stores, correlates, or otherwise processes information is known to be a computer. A computer is an electronic device which manipulates or transforms data. It accepts data, stores data, process data according to a set of instructions, and also retrieve the data when required. Hence it is
