Module 1. Using Computers

Computadoras

The instructions that a computer follows come from software (computer programs). A basic software environment is established by the computer's Operating System (OS). Software applications, such as word processors, spreadsheet programs, and payroll programs, can be installed within the OSto extend the range of things that the computer can be used to do. Having different software applications means that the same hardware can be put to a variety of uses.

The devices and components that make up a computer system are called hardware. Many parts are contained within the computer's case. Other parts are connected to the computer and are referred to as peripheral devices. Most peripherals allow information to be entered (input) and retrieved (output).

Module 1, Unit 1, Common Computing Devices

Information Technology

Definition.

An Information Technology (IT) system is one that processes, stores, and transfers information. Information can take many different forms including words, numbers, pictures, sound, or video. These can all be represented in an IT system using nothing more complicated than the binary digits one and zero. When information is stored and processed like this, it is often referred to as data. An IT system could use computers, the telecommunications network, and other programmable electronic devices. In fact, because of the importance of communications in IT, the term ICT (Information and CommunicationsTechnology) is often used in preference to IT.

Computer Hardware and Software A computer is a system that manipulates data according to a set of instructions. Three elements are required for a computer to perform useful tasks: hardware, software, and the computer's user.
