SESSION 1: COMPUTER AND ITS COMPONENTS.
Look at the picture and answer these questions:
1. What is a computer?
2. What are the main parts?
3. Do you know what a peripheral is?
Concept: A computer is an electronic machine which can

accept data in a certain form, process the data, and give
the results of the processing in a specified format as
information.
Information: Knowledge that is communicated.
Data (pl.): The representation of information in a formalized manner suitable for

communication, interpretation and processing, generally by a computer system.
Computer main parts:

SESSION 4: OUTPUT DEVICES.
TYPES OF PRINTERS
Ink-jet printers work in the same fashion as dot-matrix

printers in the form images or characters with little dots.
However, the dots are formed by tiny droplets of ink.
Speed: Given in Pages per Minute (PPM) the higher the

PPM the more pages they can print.
Print quality: Determined by the DPI (Dot Per Inch)

Example 2440 x 1220 DPI (Vertical and Horizontal DPI) The higher the DPI the better in
terms of quality.
Ink: Ink-Jet Printers use Ink Cartridges. Some benefits are:

- Fast printing speeds.
- Can produce really high quality print.
- Easy to use.
- They can produce vivid colors.
A laser printer works like a photocopy machine. Laser

printers produce images on paper by directing a laser
beam at a mirror which bounces the beam onto a drum.
Speed: Given in Pages per Minute (PPM) the higher the

PPM the more pages they can print. Most ink-jet printers
offer different speeds depending on the quality of print
desired.
Print quality: Determined by the DPI. Example 4880 x
2440 DPI (Vertical and Horizontal DPI)
Ink: Laser Printers use Toner Cartridges. Some benefits are: Very high resolution, fast
results, high volume printing.

DISASSEMBLING
It means parting the different components of a computer from the system. We use the
infinitive form to follow instructions in instruction manuals or when someone tells you how
to do something.
There are often "sequencing" words to show the steps in the process. For example,
"first", "second" and "finally".
Simple instructions to replace a light bulb:
First, turn off the electricity.

Second, remove the light bulb.
Then, screw in the new light bulb.
Finally, turn the electricity on and switch on the light.
You can also say "after that" instead of "then" and "first" / "second" instead of "firstly" and
"secondly".
Giving extra help.

When you give instructions, you can help the other person with extra information and
advice.
- Remember: turn off the electricity before touching any cables.

- Be careful not to (touch any live wires).
- Try to (see if the lightbulb is broken or just loose).
- Try not to (touch the lightbulb with your hands).
- You need to (check the wattage of the lightbulb first).
- It's important to (make sure the electricity is off).
- It helps to (wait for the lightbulb to cool down before you remove it).
- Be sure to (turn off the electricity before you you touch the lightbulb).
- Always (wear gloves when you touch a lightbulb).
- Never (touch a socket with wet hands).

SESSION 12: BASIC SOFTWARE TERMS.
Originally, the information on a computer screen was strictly text, and that text was
manipulated using a keyboard. Then computers started using graphical images on the
screen to represent a program or file. Those images are called icons. Along with the
introduction of icons came the development of graphical user interfaces (GUIs). GUIs
allow computer users to point at pictures and icons and then click the icon to manipulate
that program or file, thus the phrase point and click.
Here we have important concept about software:
- Application program.
- Operating System.
_____________________ is a software program that loads automatically and controls
just about everything on your computer. For example: Windows XP.
_____________________ helps you accomplish a certain task, such as writing a letter,
browsing the Internet, or playing a game. Examples include word-processing programs,
spreadsheets, databases, and games.
OPERATING SYSTEM
Your computer's operating system (OS) manages all of the software and hardware on the
computer. Most of the time, there are many different computer programs running at the
same time, and they all need to access your computer's central processing unit (CPU),
memory, and storage. The operating system coordinates all of this to make sure each
program gets what it needs.
Windows Operating System.
Microsoft created the Windows operating system in the mid-1980s. Over the years, there
have been many different versions of Windows, but the most recent ones are Windows 8
(released in 2012), Windows 7 (2009), and Windows Vista (2007). Windows comes
preloaded on most new PCs, which helps to make it the most popular operating system in
the world.

networks. The Internet links millions of computers all over
the world. It allows your computer to get information
stored on other computers far away. Computers connect
to the Internet through telephone and cable systems.

ARPANET. The United States military created ARPANET
in the 1960s. From the 1970s until the late 1980s, the U.S. government only let a few
scientists and people in the military use it. In the 1980s, the government let networks at
universities join with ARPANET to create the Internet. The Internet grew quickly. Schools,
libraries, local and state governments, companies, and families were on the Internet by the
mid-1990s.
Millions of people use the Internet every day. In 1981, only 213 computers were connected
to the Internet. By 2003, more than 216 million computers were connected to the Internet.

People surfing the web using Microsofts Internet

Explorer need to be extra careful. A hole has been
found in the browsers security systems. The anti-virus
software maker Trend Micro Inc. said the problem
leaves peoples computers open to hackers. Trend
Micro spokesman Paul Ferguson warned the hole could
let in criminals who want to hijack computers. He said
security holes like this are a goldmine for criminals
because users have few ways to fight off attacks.
Explorers flaw tricks users into visiting websites that
then steals passwords and other personal and
confidential information. The hackers then sell this for
big money on the black market. It is a sizeable problem because most of the worlds
computers use Internet Explorer.
Microsoft says it is investigating the flaw. Its website

states that it is considering creating an emergency
software patch to fix the hole. The company is advising
users to try a complicated series of measures it calls
workarounds. Microsoft said: We are actively
investigating the vulnerability that these attacks attempt to
exploit. We will continue to monitor the threat. The
software giant assured people that it would take the
appropriate action to protect our customers. A Microsoft
anti-virus blog said 0.2% of computer users may be
affected. Its advice was to always exercise caution when
browsing and try to go to sites that you trust. Other experts advise switching to alternative

SESSIONS 20 21: TECHNICAL READING.
Bluetooth is the code name for a new wireless technology developed by

Ericsson Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia Corp., Toshiba and IBM. The technology
enables data connections between electronic devices such as desktop
computers, wireless phones, electronic organizers and printers in the 2.4
GHz range.
The major advantages of the Bluetooth technology over other communication technologies
are its being cheap, wireless and automatic.
Bluetooth devices work by using radio chips. When a Bluetooth device detects another
one nearby it automatically links up to it, with no nasty configuration or messy cables. It
makes synchronising your address book, calendar and to-do-list on your computer, mobile
or PDA much easier.
Bluetooth device, even in its low power setting, can communicate with another device that
is within its ten-meter radius regardless of walls, windows, or other physical obstructions.
You can connect to the internet on your laptop computer even though your mobile is at the
bottom of your briefcase.
If you're wondering where the Bluetooth name originally came from,

it was named after a Danish Viking and King, Harald Bltand
(translated as Bluetooth in English), who lived in the second part of
the 10th century.
Harald Bltand united and controlled Denmark and Norway (hence

the inspiration on the name: uniting devices through Bluetooth).
He got his name from his very dark hair which was unusual for Vikings, Bltand means
dark complexion.
However a more popular, (but less likely reason), was that Old Harald had a inclination
towards eating blueberries, so much that his teeth became stained with the colour.
