Computer vs. Electronic Devices: A Comparative Study

  Chapter: 1 A computer is different from other electronic devices because of its generality and programmability . Let me explain clearly: 1. Programmability Most electronic devices (like a washing machine, calculator, microwave, TV, etc.) are designed for a specific purpose.   A computer can be programmed to perform a wide variety of tasks — from calculations, word processing, games, to controlling satellites.   2. Versatility Other devices usually perform one or a few fixed functions.   A computer can process text, numbers, images, audio, video, and even control machines — all on the same hardware.   3. Data Processing Ability Computers can accept input, process it using instructions, and provide output.   While many electronic devices only transfer or display signals, computers actually manipulate, store, and analyze data.   4. Storage and Memory   Computers have large storage and memory that allow them to ...

Exploring Computer Device

Image
  Computer: A computer is an electronic device that processes data based on a program or set of instructions to produce a desired output. A computer is a programmable device that takes in data, processes it, and produces an output. A computer is a device that accepts information (in the form of digitalized data) and manipulates it for some result based on a program, software, or sequence of instructions on how the data is to be processed. Computers differ from other electronic devices in a few ways, including: Purpose Computers use mathematical concepts for computation, while other electronic devices use physical concepts to convert electrical signals into audio, video, or text. Components Computers have different components than other electronic devices, including a CPU, hard drive, ROM, RAM, and motherboard. Applications Computers are used for word processing, sending emails, listening to music, and more, while other electronic devices are used for robotics, a...

Configuration of Basic Computer

Image
  Configuration of Basic Computer ·          CONFIGURATION  is the way a system is set up or the assortment of components that make up the system. Configuration can refer to either hardware or software, or the combination of both. CMOS –  It is the term usually used to describe the small amount of memory on a computer motherboard that stores the BIOS settings. Basic Input/output System (BIOS) The Basic Input Output System , usually referred to as BIOS, is software stored on a small memory chip on the motherboard. BIOS instructs the computer on how to perform several basic functions such as booting and keyboard control. BIOS is also used to identify and configure the hardware in a computer such as the hard drive, optical drive, CPU, memory, etc.   The BIOS is accessed and configured through the BIOS Setup Utility. The BIOS Setup Utility is, for all reasonable p...
