 What it is

How Files and Data Works

There are several ways on how to transfer files and data between compatible
systems using computer software, hardware and peripherals devices. You need to
know the following:

1. Files such as documents, pictures, music and email, and

2. Peripherals or hardware this is where you can transfer from one device to
another just like computer to flash disk or vice versa, cellphone to cellphone,
computer to computer and so on.
Ways to Transfer Files and Data

1. Computer to Computer
In this way, you will use a local
connection or router either wired or
wireless connections where the
computers are connected to the same
network to meet and can transfer files to
each other.
2. Computer to External Storage
Device
Here, you need of course an external
storage just like flash disk or memory
card where you can transfer files from
computer to external storage or vice
versa.
3. Mobile Phone to Mobile Phone
In these two same devices, Bluetooth
connection should be turned on in order
to transfer files from each other. Others
prefer to use the ShareIt (third party
software) applications because it is very
fast and easy to install.
4. Computer, Cellphone, Laptop to
Online Storage
You can transfer files from computers
and cellphones or vice versa easily
using cloud storage services like
OneDrive, Dropbox or Google drive.
When transferring files from different
devices to online storage, make sure
you are connected to the internet.
Applications are available to download
and install for easy access of the online
storage.

World Wide Web Browser

Web Browsers are software installed on your PC. On the Web, when you navigate
through pages of information, this is commonly known as web browsing or web
surfing.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee is a British computer scientist. He invented the World Wide Web
in October 1990. He wrote the first web page editor/browser which is
WorldWideWeb.app and the first server which https. The first web page was served
on the open internet by the end of 1990.
It was in the year 1993 that CERN, a European Organization for Nuclear Research,
where Sir Tim was working, to announced the global wave of creativity, collaboration
and innovation.
In 1994, Sir Tim moved to Massachusetts Institute of Technology to found the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international community devoted to developing
open web standards. He remains the Director of W3C to this day.

Parts of Web Browser

• HyperText Markup Language (HTML) - This is the markup or format

language for the web.
• Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) - A kind of “address” that is unique and
used to identify to each resource on the web. It is also commonly called a URL.
• Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) - Allows for the retrieval of linked
resources from across the web.

Basic Computer Maintenance Tips for PC Users

Although computers still tend to intimidate many people, and the idea of fixing
them on their own is even worse, learning some simple computer maintenance
things can make life a lot simpler. Sometimes a computer may need the services of a
qualified technician, but sometimes a simple fix or regular maintenance is all it
needs. Here are 5 basic computer maintenance tips for PC users.

1. Uninstall Programs No Longer Used

13
An average computer user keeps a computer at least three years. In that time, a lot
of programs get put on the computer. These programs may have been used only a
couple of times, but they still sit on the computer taking up space and often using up
memory if they’re running in the background. They’re also making the computer’s
processor work harder than is necessary. Getting rid of old programs will not only
allow more room for new programs but can speed up the computer. To uninstall
programs, go to Control Panel, Programs and Features and Uninstall Programs.

2. Delete Temporary Files

Many PC users don’t realize that every time they go to a site online the computer
stores that information so the page loads faster next time the page is visited from
that computer. While this all sounds good, storing all those unnecessary files can
really slow down the computer and the time it takes to load other applications.
Deleting temporary files regularly can free up a lot of the computer’s memory.

3. Clean Computer and Keyboard

The computer and keyboard may seem like they’re external parts that wouldn’t affect
the performance of the system, but they can if they’re not kept clean. Imagine all the
dust that would accumulate if a house was never dusted, and this is what the inside
of a computer looks like if it’s never cleaned. Dust and dirt can slow down the
computer and even ruin the fan. Cans of compressed air work great for dusting all
parts of the computer and keyboard, including the cooling fan and vents.

4. Scan for Viruses and Spyware

Running conventional anti-virus and spyware detection software is probably the
easiest and best way PC users can protect their computers. Viruses and malware
can do a lot of damage to a computer and all its contents. Most programs will run
softly in the background as users continue doing what they’re doing. Heavy
computer users should run their virus software at least once a week. While anti-virus
software offers users the choice of different scans, running a full scan offers the most
protection.

5. Install Current Operating System Updates

Many computer users don’t understand the importance of keeping their operating
system up-to-date with the latest software and patches. Every day new computer
and cyber threats come out. If the system isn’t current with all the necessary
software and patches, it becomes vulnerable to threats. To install updates manually,
click on Start, select All Programs and then Windows Updates. If there are updates
that need to be installed, they will show up there. Mac users can click on the Apple

14
menu, select About This Mac and then select Software Update. Both systems give
the option to Install Updates Automatically. This option will ensure the updates get
installed automatically.
