Chapter 1 CSC134: BASIC INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS

Salam, today I want to post abaout what I've understand in CSC134 for Chapter 1:  Basic Introduction to Computers.

First of all is the definition of computer.  A computer is an electronic device, operating under the control of instruction strored in its own memory.  A computer contains many electric. electronic, and mechanical components known as 'Hardware'.  The components of a computer are:

• Input device:  Allow you to enter data and instructions into a computer.  Examples: printer, web cam, scanner, microphone, mouse and keyboard.
• Output device:  Hardware component that conveys information to one or more people.  Examples:  monitor/screen and printer.
• System unit:  Case that contains the electronic components of the computer that are used to process data.
• Storage device:  Records (writes) and/or retrieves (reads) items to and from storage media.  Examples:  optical disc device, memory card and USB device.
• Communication device:  Enables a computer to send and receive data, instructions, and information to and from one or more computers or mobile devices.

A computer must have advantages and disadvantages of using it.  The advantages are speed, reliability, consistency, storage and communications.  The disadvantages are health risks, violation of privacy, public safety, impact of labour force and impact of environment.

A computer have seven (7) categories.

1. Personal computers:  A personal computer can perform all of its input, processing, output, & storage activities by itself.
2. Mobile computers & mobile devices:  Mobile computer is personal computer you can carry from place to place.  Examples:  notebook computers, laptop computers, netbooks, and Tablet PCs.  Mobile devices is computing device small enough to hold in your hand.  Examples:  smart phones, PDAs, e-book readers, handheld computer, portable media player an digital cameras.
3. Game consoles:  A geme consoles is a mobile computing device designed for single-player or multiplayer video games.
4. Servers:  A server controls access to the hardware, software & other resources on a network.
5. Mainframes:  A mainframe is a large, expensive, powerful computer that can handle hundreds or thaousands of connected users simultaneously.
6. Supercomputers:  A supercomputers is the fastest, most powerful computer.  Fastest supercomputers are capable of processing more than one quadrillion instructions in a single second.
7. Embedded computers:  An embedded computers is a special-purpose computer that functions as a component in a large product.

Ok, this is the simplest understanding that I could share.  Other or more than this, I must refer back to CSC134 book.  :)

Laskar Pelangi

 

Hye everyone.. :) 
Tonight I want to share one of my favourite song.  Listen to music is a relaxing and every person have their own way when listening to music.  Some people feel comfortable listen music by using speakers, headphones, or earbuds.  Anyway, the reason why I choose this song is because it is a motivation song.  It can be seen by the lyric.  The song is Laskar Pelangi performed by Nidji.

 

As we can see above here is the lyric.
In my opinion, this song means everyone can dream and have a dream.  There are no limitation for a person to dream, either to be positive or negative person.  This song also means we have to appreciate what we have, keep motivated and positive, and then one day we will gain success.

Below here is the video.  Hope you can understand the meaning of this song by viewing the lyric and video.

Just saying...

Hye, Good Afternoon..  ^-^

At this moment I know my blog is still new and bored, I'm in process to improve it.  Last night till this morning, I've tried to do some changes in my blog but some of it are success but some are not.
I already try to add some music, fancy cursor, and animation, but I remove it back.  It look not suitable and very weird in my blog.

I will learn more about how to decorate these blog and I will practise it in my own blog.  Hope you all can can be patient and love it soon.  Hehehe...

Have a nice day :)

My Worries...

You know what, why  I keep on posting in this blog for all night long till this morning.. I CANT SLEEP!!!
I drank too much coffee just now.  I think that the reason why but it is okay...

Soon I have to get back to college.  Holiday time is very short, just one week.   Not forgotten, even though now is the eid mubarak celebration,  I still remember and think about the tasks given by the lecturer before the holiday.  And also after this holiday, there were lot of  quizes and test waiting for us.
Oh my!  Do you know how it feel?  During holiday you keep on thinking about homeworks, assignments, quizes and tests... 
At the same time, I didn't show my worries toward my family and friends.  I just kept it on my own.  I don't want to  interfere their happiness.  Maybe afterthis I just want to share my problem with my beloved mom :)

Ok, now time shows 3:46 am.. I still cannot sleep and I think I keep on posting in this blog,hehe..
Happy reading.. :)
