IN TODAY'S ERA
TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS'

CATEGORIES:
TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY USER LEVEL-
ADMINISTRATOR
This “God-level” user is fully

unrestricted. Administrators

have the power to install and

delete applications, copy and

delete files, and even cause a

massive system crash by

messing with the critical

system files.
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY USER LEVEL-
STANDARD USER
The “regular Joe standard

user”. Pretty much able to

do anything except

messing with the critical

system files – Install and

delete applications, copy

and delete files.

 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY USER LEVEL-
GUEST
A restricted user, maybe

for allowing a friend to

access your computer. Able

to run selected applications

and touch some files, but is

otherwise unable to install

or delete anything.
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY USER LEVEL-
CHILD
The cyberworld is full of dangers

and has “too many violent adult

contents”. Some operating

systems acknowledge this fact

and have a “child account” that is

bound by parental control. Child

users are unable to open any

application/game/content that

says “parental guidance is

advised”, and the actions are

usually recorded.
TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY SKILL LEVEL-
COMPUTER NEWBIE
A complete

beginner and

someone who is

new to the cyber

world.
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY SKILL LEVEL-
COMPUTER USER
People who have “used

computers for long

enough”, and have a

“good enough”

understanding of how
computers work.
TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY SKILL LEVEL-
POWER USER
People who have a

“better than average”

understanding of

computers, know

some tech tricks up

the sleeve.
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY SKILL LEVEL-
COMPUTER WIZARD
The almighty tech geeks.

Give them a mess of

wires, and they can sort

it out. Bring them a

broken gadget, and they

can fix it. Everything bad

will turn good in their

magical hands.
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY USER INTENT-
APPLICATION-ORIENTED USERS
These are users who have been

trained to use particular

software applications. Their

purpose for using a computer, be

it for school, work, or play, is to

exactly use those applications to

complete a task. For example, a

product designer using CAD

(Computer-aided design)

software to draft designs for a

new product.
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY USER INTENT-
GOAL-ORIENTED USERS
These are the type of users

who don’t care about what

applications are used, as long

as things get done using

computers. For example, the

user does not care if it is

Microsoft Office, LibreOffice,

or WPS office. So long as it is

capable of creating a

document, anything goes.

 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY USER INTENT-
COMPUTER ORIENTED USERS
This is an uncommon

group of users who uses

computers to “build

computers”. Sounds

confusing? Simply put,

these people are either

hackers or

programmers.
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY INDUSTRY & PURPOSE-
ENTERTAINMENT
Examples – Gamers,

streamers, artists.
The gaming and

entertainment industry is

huge… It is so common

these days to see people

glued to the smartphone

for gaming or watching

videos.
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY INDUSTRY & PURPOSE-
ACADEMIC
Examples – Teachers and

students.
Gone are the good old days

where teachers write on

chalkboards. Computers

simply offer a better way to

teach with slides, images, and

videos; Also a better way to

learn with illustrations and

not a whole bunch of text.

 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY INDUSTRY & PURPOSE-
SCIENCE
Examples –

Researchers and

scientists.
To do all kinds of mad

scientists

calculations and

simulations.
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY INDUSTRY & PURPOSE-
COMMERCE
Examples – Cashiers,

managers, analysts, office

workers.
Computer users for the

commerce section are so wide

these days. To do office work,

manage customer orders,

generate reports, monthly

sales, warehouse

management, etc…
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY INDUSTRY & PURPOSE-
BANKING & FINANCE
Examples – Bankers and

traders.
The people who use
computers to keep their

money safe in the bank…

Or use it to make more

money.
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY INDUSTRY & PURPOSE-
MANUFACTURING & PRODUCTION
Examples – Publishers,

operators, managers.
Hand-made with love these

days are rare. Factories

adopt computers and

machines for mass

production these days,

people use computers to

control and manage the

production line.
 TYPES OF COMPUTER USERS
-BY INDUSTRY & PURPOSE-
MILITARY & LAW ENFORCEMENT
Examples – Intelligence and

crime analyst.
How do we know if a

certain psycho will most

likely strike? Welcome to

criminal science, where

smart people use

computers and past data

to predict the future.

WHICH MADE IT AN

INTEGRATED PART IN ALL

BUSINESS ORGANISATIONS.
COMPUTER IS USED IN

BUSINESS ORGANISATIONS

FOR: PAYROLL

CALCULATIONS, SALES

ANALYSIS, BUDGETING,

FINANCIAL FORECASTING,

MANAGING EMPLOYEES

DATABASE AND

MAINTENANCE OF STOCKS

2. EDUCATION
DOMINANT USE IN THE

EDUCATION FIELD WHICH

CAN SIGNIFICANTLY

ENHANCE PERFORMANCE IN

LEARNING. EVEN DISTANCE

LEARNING IS MADE

PRODUCTIVE AND EFFECTIVE

THROUGH INTERNET AND

VIDEO-BASED CLASSES.

RESEARCHERS HAVE

MASSIVE USAGE OF THESE

COMPUTERS IN THEIR WORK

FROM THE STARTING TO TILL

THE END OF THEIR

SCHOLARLY WORK.
 IN MARKETING THERE ARE TWO

WAYS OF USING COMPUTERS:

3. MARKETING
1. ADVERTISING - CREATES

ART AND GRAPHICS, WRITE

AND REVISE COPY, AND

PRINT AND DISSEMINATE

ADS WITH THE GOAL OF

SELLING MORE PRODUCTS.

2. HOME SHOPPING - HAS

BEEN MADE POSSIBLE

THROUGH USE OF

COMPUTERISED

CATALOGUES THAT

PROVIDE ACCESS TO

PRODUCT INFORMATION

AND PERMIT DIRECT ENTRY

OF ORDERS TO BE FILLED BY

THE CUSTOMERS.
 TODAY, BANKING IS

ALMOST TOTALLY
