Chapter 1: Introduction to Concepts of

Computer
A computer is an electronic machine that can be instructed to carry out sequences

of arithmetic or logical operations automatically via computer programming.
Commonly consisting of digital circuitry, that accepts (inputs), stores, and generates
(outputs) data as numbers, text, graphics, voice, video files, or electrical signals.
• Father of the computer - Charles Babbage
• Father of the modern computer - Alan Turing
• Basic Architecture of Computer: John Von Neumann (1947-49)
• First Programmer: Lady Ada Lovelace (1880)
• First Electronic Computer: ENIAC (1946) - J.P. Eckert & J.W. Mauchly
• A first computer for the home user introduced - IBM in 1981
Generation of Computer
There are five generations of computers.
FIRST GENERATION
1946-1959 is the period of the first-generation computer.
J.P. Eckert and J.W. Mauchy invented the first successful electronic computer called ENIAC,
ENIAC stands for “Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer”.
Advantages:
i)It made use of vacuum tubes which are the only electronic component available during
those days.
ii) These computers could calculate in milliseconds.
Disadvantages:
i)These were very big in size, weight was about 30 tones.
ii) These computers were based on vacuum tubes.
iii) These computers were very costly.
iv) It could store only a small amount of information due to the presence of magnetic
drums.
v) A large amount of energy consumption.
SECOND GENERATION
1959-1965 is the period of a second-generation computer.
Second-generation computers were based on Transistors instead of vacuum tubes.
Example : Honeywell 400, IBM 7094, CDC 1604, CDC 3600, UNIVAC 1108
Advantages:
i)Due to the presence of transistors instead of vacuum tubes, the size of the electron
component decreased. This resulted in reducing the size of a computer as compared to
first-generation computers.
ii) Less energy and not produce as much heat as the first generation.
iii) Assembly language and punch cards were used for input.
iv) Low cost than first-generation computers.
v) Better speed, calculate data in microseconds.
Disadvantages:
i)A cooling system was required.
ii) Constant maintenance was required.
iii) Only used for specific purposes.
THIRD GENERATION
1965-1971 is the period of the third-generation computer.
These computers were based on Integrated circuits.
IC was invented by Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby In 1958-1959. IC was a single component
containing a number of transistors.
Examples: PDP-8 ,PDP-11, ICL 2900, IBM 360
Advantages:
i)These computers were cheaper as compared to second-generation computers.
ii) They were fast and reliable.
iii) The use of IC in the computer provides the small size of the computer.
iv) IC not only reduces the size of the computer but it also improves the performance of the
computer as compared to previous computers.
v) This generation of computers has a big storage capacity.
Disadvantages:
i)IC chips are difficult to maintain.
ii) The highly sophisticated technology required for the manufacturing of IC chips.
FOURTH GENERATION
1971-1980 is the period of the fourth-generation computer.
This technology is based on Microprocessor.
A microprocessor is used in a computer for any logical and arithmetic function to be
performed in any program.
Graphics User Interface (GUI) technology was exploited to offer more comfort to users.
Examples: IBM 4341
Advantages:
i)Fastest in computation and size get reduced as compared to the previous generation of
computers.
ii) The heat generated is negligible.
iii) Small in size as compared to previous generation computers.
Disadvantages:
i) Microprocessor design and fabrication are very complex.
ii) Air conditioning is required in many cases due to the presence of ICs.
FIFTH GENERATION
The period of the fifth generation in 1980-onwards.
This generation is based on artificial intelligence.
The aim of the fifth generation is to make a device that could respond to natural language
input and are capable of learning and self-organization.
This generation is based on ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration) technology resulting in
the production of microprocessor chips having ten million electronic components.
Examples: Desktop, Laptop, Note-Book
Chapte 2: Classification of Computers

1. Digital computer -Digital computer is the most commonly used type of computer and is
used to process information with quantities using digits, usually using the binary number
system. Ex - MacBook.
2. Analog Computer - A computer that operates with numbers represented by directly
measurable quantities (as voltages or rotations) — compare digital computers, hybrid
computers.
3. Hybrid Computer - A computer that combines the characteristics of a digital computer
and an analog computer by its capacity to accept input and provide output in either digital
or analog form and to process information digitally.
Classification on size
1. Mainframe computer - A mainframe computer is a very large computer capable of
handling and processing very large amounts of data quickly. They are used by large
institutions, such as government agencies and large corporations.
2. Mini Computer - a computer with processing and storage capabilities smaller than
those of a mainframe but larger than those of a microcomputer.
3. Micro computer - A microcomputer is a complete computer on a smaller scale and is
generally a synonym for the more common term, personal computer or PC , a computer
designed for an individual.
4. Personal computer - A personal computer (PC) is a small, relatively inexpensive
computer designed for an individual user. In price, All are based on the microprocessor
technology that enables manufacturers to put an entire CPU on one chip.
5. Supercomputer - The fastest type of computer. Supercomputers are very expensive and
are employed for specialized applications that require immense amounts of calculations.

Chapter 3: Main Parts of computer

Hardware - Computer hardware is what you can physically touch, it 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.

Input Devices
In computing, an input device is a peripheral (piece of computer hardware equipment)
used to provide data and control signals to an information processing system such as a
computer or information appliance.
Examples:
Computer keyboard
Digital camera
Digital video
Graphics tablet
Image scanner
Joystick
Microphone
Mouse
Overlay keyboard
Real-time clock
Trackball
Touchscreen
Keyboard – A keyboard is the most fundamental input device for any computer system. It
helps to enter data on the computer.
Mouse - A mouse is used to input data by sending a signal to the computer, based on
hovering the cursor and selecting with the left mouse button. The left mouse acts as an
'enter' button. The right mouse button can be selected and will often pop up a window of
choices. The scrolling wheel is used to move the view of the screen up or down. By moving
your mouse to a location in a document, on a digital photo or over a choice of music, you
can click the left mouse button to place the cursor.
Trackball - A trackball is an input device used to enter motion data into computers or
other electronic devices. It serves the same purpose as a mouse but is designed with a
moveable ball on the top, which can be rolled in any direction. Instead of moving the whole
device, you simply roll the moveable ball on top of the trackball unit with your hand to
generate motion input.
Barcode reader - A barcode reader (or barcode scanner) is an electronic device that can
read and output printed barcodes to a computer. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light
source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones.
Digital camera - A camera is a device which produces digital images that can be stored in a
computer and displayed on the screen.
Gamepad - A handheld controller for video games.
Joystick – A lever that can be moved in several directions to control the movement of an
image on a computer or similar display screen. It mainly used in playing games.
Microphone - An instrument for converting sound waves into electrical energy variations
which may then be amplified, transmitted, or recorded.
Scanner - A device that scans documents and converts them into digital data.
Webcam - A video camera connected to a computer, allowing its images to be seen by
Internet users.
Optical character recognition (OCR) - It is the mechanical or electronic conversion of
images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text.
Digitizer - It converts analog information into digital form.
Optical Mark Reader (OMR) - Optical Mark Readers reads pencil or pen marks made in
pre-defined positions on paper forms as responses to questions or tick list prompts.
Output devices
An output device is any device used to send data from a computer to another device or
user. Most computer data output that is meant for humans is in the form of audio or video.
Example: Computer monitor, Printer, PC speaker, headphone, Projector, Sound card,
Video card.
Monitor - A Monitor is a TV-like display attached to the computer on which the output can
be displayed and viewed. It can either be a monochrome display or a colour display.
Two types of monitors:
1)CRT (Cathode ray tube) - The cathode ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing one
or more electron guns, and a phosphorescent screen used to view images.
2) Thin-Film-Transistor Liquid-Crystal Display (TFT LCD) - A thin-film-transistor
liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) is a variant of a liquid-crystal display (LCD) that uses thin-
film transistor technology to improve image qualities such as addressability and contrast.
Printer - Printer is an output device for printing text or pictures.
Two types of Printer:
1) Impact printer - An impact printer is a printer that strikes a print head against an ink
ribbon to mark the paper. Common examples include Dot-matrix and daisy-wheel
printers.
2) Non-Impact printer - Non-impact printers print the characters without using ribbon.
Two common types of non-impact printers include inkjet printers, which spray small
drops of ink onto each page, and laser printers, which roll ink onto the paper using a
cylindrical.
CPU (Central Processing Unit)

A Central Processing Unit (CPU), also called a central processor or main processor, is the
electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer
program by performing the basic arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output (I/O)
operations specified by the instructions. The computer industry has used the term "central
processing unit" at least since the early 1960s. Traditionally, the term "CPU" refers to a
processor, more specifically to its processing unit and control unit (CU), distinguishing
these core elements of a computer from external components such as main memory and
I/O circuitry.

•Operating system software -An operating system (OS) is system software that manages
computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer
programs. The operating system is a component of the system software in a computer
system.
•Functions of an operating system - The basic functions of an operating system are:
Booting the computer. Performs basic computer tasks, e.g. managing the various peripheral
devices, e.g. mouse, keyboard. Provides a user interface, e.g. command line, graphical user
interface (GUI).
•Spreadsheet software - A software interface consisting of an interactive grid made up of
cells in which data or formulas are entered for analysis or presentation.
•Word processors - A program or machine for storing, manipulating, and formatting text
entered from a keyboard and providing a printout.
•Compiler - A compiler is a computer program (or a set of programs) that transforms
source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another
computer language (the target language), with the latter often having a binary form known
as object code.
•Interpreter - A program that can analyze and execute a program line by line.
•Database management system – It is a software that handles the storage, retrieval, and
updating of data in a computer system.
•Antivirus Software - Anti-virus software is a program or set of programs that are
designed to prevent, search, detect, and remove viruses, and other malicious software like
worms, trojans, adware, and more.
•Boot - The boot process is the name for the various steps that a computer takes after you
turn it on, all the way until the operating system is loaded.
•Cold Boot - The start-up of a computer from a powered-down, or off, state. Also called a
hard boot.
•Warm Boot - The restarting of a computer via the operating system.

Chapter 5: Memory
Computer memory is any physical device capable of storing information temporarily
like RAM (random access memory), or permanently, like ROM (read-only memory).
Memory devices utilize integrated circuits and are used by operating systems, software,
and hardware.
Types of Memory
Primary Memory
RAM (Random access memory) - Random Access Memory (RAM) is a type of data storage
used in computers that are generally located on the motherboard. This type of memory is
volatile and all information that was stored in RAM is lost when the computer is turned off
There are two types of Random access memory
•Dynamic RAM - Dynamic indicates that the memory must be constantly refreshed
(reenergized) or it will lose its contents.
•Static Memory - A computer memory that contains fixed information and retains its
programmed state as long as the power is on.
Virtual memory is a feature of an operating system (OS) that allows a computer to
compensate for shortages of physical memory by temporarily transferring pages of data
from random access memory(RAM) to disk storage.
ROM (Read only memory) - Once data has been written onto a ROM chip, it cannot be
removed and can only be read. Unlike main memory (RAM), ROM retains its contents even
when the computer is turned off. ROM is referred to as being nonvolatile.
There are three types of Read only memory (ROM)
•PROM - PROM stands for Programmable Read Only Memory. This form of ROM is initially
blank. The user or manufacturer can write data/program on it by using special devices.
However, once the program or data is written in PROM chip, it cannot be changed. If there
is an error in writing instructions or data in PROM, the error cannot be erased. PROM chip
becomes unusable.
•EPROM - EPROM stands for Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. This form of
ROM is also initially blank. The user or manufacturer can write program or data on it by
using special devices. Unlike PROM, the data written in EPROM chip can be erased by using
special devices and ultraviolet rays. So program or data written in EPROM chip can be
changed and new data can also be added. When EPROM is in use, its contents can only be
read.
•EEPROM - EEPROM stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.
This kind of ROM can be written or changed with the help of electrical devices. So data

Secondary memory
Secondary memory - Secondary memory is computer memory that is not directly
accessed by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer and is usually available as non-
volatile memory. One of the most common forms of this memory is the hard drive of a
computer, which is used to store the operating system (OS) and other programs. Example:
DVD, CDs, Floppy Disk etc.
•Hard Drive - a rigid non-removable magnetic disk with a large data storage capacity.
•Floppy disk- A floppy disk, also called a diskette or just disk is a type of disk storage
composed of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular
plastic carrier lined with fabric that removes dust particles. Floppy disks are read and
written by a floppy disk drive (FDD).
•Magnetic Tape – Magnetic tape used in recording sound, pictures, or computer data.
•Flash memory - a kind of memory that retains data in the absence of a power supply.
•Optical disk - an electronic data storage medium that can be written to and read using a
low-powered laser beam.
CD-ROM: "Read Only" (used for distribution of commercial software, for example)Standard
storage capacity is 640MB.
CD-R (or CD-WORM): "Write Once, Read Many" times
CD-RW: rewritable multiple times
DVD: similar to CD, but with significantly larger storage capacity (4.7GB)
Motherboard - A motherboard is the main circuit board inside a computer that connects
the different parts of a computer together. It has sockets for the CPU, RAM and expansion
cards (e.g. discrete graphics cards, sound cards, network cards, storage cards etc) and it
also hooks up to hard drives, disc drives and front panel ports with cables and wires. Also
called as the mainboard, system board.

Chapter 6: Network and Internet

Computer Network: A computer network is a set of connected computers. Computers on a
network are called nodes. The connection between computers can be done via cabling,
most commonly the Ethernet cable, or wirelessly through radio waves. Connected
computers can share resources, like access to the Internet, printers, file servers, and others.
Server - A computer designed to process requests and deliver data to other (client)
computers over a local network or the Internet.
Receiver - a hardware module or device used to receive signals.
Channel – The physical connection between Server & Receiver.
Network Channel
Simplex channels - simplex is a communications channel that operates in one direction at

a time. Example: Keyboard and traditional monitors.
Half-duplex channel - A half-duplex channel can send and receive data, but not at the
same time. Example: Walkie- talkie
Full-duplex channel - Refers to the transmission of data in two directions simultaneously.

Example: Telephone Network
Network devices
i) Network adapter is a device that enables a computer to connect with another
computer/network using MAC Address.
ii) Hub is a device that splits a network connection into multiple computers
iii) Switch is a telecommunication device grouped as one of computer network
components.
iv) The cable is one way of transmission media which can transmit communication signals.
v) Repeaters are used to regenerate or replicate signals that are weakened or distorted by
transmission over long distances.
vi) A bridge is used to connect two LANs with the same standard but using different types
of cables.
vii) Routers are used to join multiple computer networks together via either wired or
wireless connections.
viii) Gateways is a key stopping point for data on its way to or from other networks.
ix) MODEM - Modulator-demodulator. An electronic device that allows computers to
communicate over telephone wires or cable-TV cable.
Types of Network
•Local Area Network (LAN) - a computer network that links devices within a building or
group of adjacent buildings. Ex – Star LAN, Ring LAN, Bus LAN
•Wide Area Network (WAN) - a computer network in which the computers connected
may be far apart.
•Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)- A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network
that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger
than that covered by even a LAN but smaller than the area covered by WAN. Ex- Public
Networks Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN), Public Service Digital Network
(PSDN) etc.
•Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a set of communication standards for
simultaneous digital transmission of voice, video, data.
Network Topology
•Mesh topology - Mesh is a network topology in which devices are connected with many
redundant interconnections between network nodes.
•Star topology - Star topology is a network topology where each individual piece of a
network is attached to a central node.
•Ring topology - Ring topology refers to a specific kind of network setup in which devices
are connected in a ring and pass information to each other according to their adjacent in
the ring structure.
•Bus topology - Bus topology is a specific kind of network topology in which all of the
various devices in the network are connected to a single cable or line.

OSI MODEL
OSI: The Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI Model) is a conceptual model that
characterizes and standardizes the communication functions of a telecommunication or
computing system without regard to their underlying internal structure and technology.
Seven layers of OSI Model

1.Physical layer - The physical layer is the first layer of the OSI Model that deals with bit-
level transmission between different devices and supports electrical or mechanical
interfaces connecting to the physical medium for synchronized communication.
2. Data Link Layer - The data link layer is the second layer of the OSI model. This layer is
the protocol layer that transfers data in the form of frames between adjacent network
nodes in a wide area network or between nodes on the same local area network segment.
3.Network Layer - The network layer is the third level of the OSI Model and the layer that
provides data routing paths for network communication. Data is transferred in the form of
packets via logical network paths in an ordered format controlled by the network layer.
4. Transport Layer - The transport layer is the layer in the OSI model responsible for end-
to-end communication(in the form of segments) over a network. It provides logical
communication between application processes running on different hosts within a layered
architecture of protocols and other network components.
5. Session Layer - In the OSI model, the session layer is the fifth layer, which controls the
connections between multiple computers. The session layer tracks the dialogues between
computers, which are also called sessions.
6.Presentation Layer - The presentation layer is layer 6 in the OSI model. It is used to
present data to the application layer (layer 7) in an accurate, well-defined and standardized
format. The presentation layer is sometimes called the syntax layer.
7.Application Layer - The application layer is a layer in the OSI model and the TCP/IP
protocol suite. It consists of protocols that focus on process-to-process communication
across an IP network and provides a firm communication interface and end-user services.
Data transmission
•NIC-Network interface card - A network interface card (NIC) is a computer circuit board

Chapter 7: Computer Security

Computer Security is the process of preventing and detecting unauthorized use of your
computer.
Internet Security Threats
1) A virus is a type of malicious software program (malware) that, when executed,

replicates by reproducing itself (copying its own source code) or infecting other computer
programs by modifying them.
Ex: Code Red, Nimda, SirCam, Melisa, Ripper, MDMA, One _Half
2) Spyware: It is a software that secretly collects user information while on the internet.
Spyware can capture information like Web browsing habits, email messages, usernames
and passwords, and credit card information.
3) Adware: This program launches the advertisements in the form of pop-ups. Usually,
AdWords is based on the internet behaviour of the user.
4) Spam: These are unwanted emails. In other words, we can call them as unsolicited
promotional mail.
5) Pharming: More advance method of Phishing in which the attackers create duplicate or
similar looking website of other companies, to attract the customers and steal the data.
6) Cookies: These are program or information secretly stored in a computer especially an
internet browser, which allows other users to monitor the internet activities of a person.
These programs usually monitor the browsing nature of a person so that the companies
can create better marketing strategies.
7) Mail Bomb: An excessively large email (typically many thousands of messages) or one
large message sent to a user’s email account. This is done to crash the system and prevent
genuine messages from being received.
8) Scareware: A common trick cybercriminals use to make users think that their computer
has become infected with malware to get them to purchase a fake application.
9) Sniffers: A software program used to monitor the traffic in a network. The hackers may
use the sniffed data to access important confidential data.
10) Rootkit: A program designed to hide objects such as processes, files or Windows
registry entries (often including its own).
11) Phishing: This is acquiring the personal and sensitive information of a person through
official-looking emails. Users of online banking and e-commerce websites are more prone
to this attack.
12) Spoofing: It is a type of scam where an intruder attempts to gain unauthorized access
to a user's system or information by pretending to be the user.
A Firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls the incoming and
outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.
Adware, or advertising-supported software, is any software package that automatically

renders advertisements to generate revenue for its author.
Anti-virus software is a program or set of programs that are designed to prevent, search
for, detect, and remove software viruses, and other malicious software like worms, trojans,
adware.
