Basic Computer Operation Overview
Speaking of which, computers have taken over the field of education, bringing over its influence in every possible manner. These very machines, which were once used only in research laboratories and government offices have now become a common sight in schools across the world. Today, computers have touched the lives of several students living in the remotest part of our planet, be it directly or otherwise.

Etymology of Terms Etymology of Terms
• Peripheral- A computer peripheral is any external device that provides input and output for the computer.
• CRT- Cathode Ray Tube.
• S/PDIF - (Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format) is a type of digital audio interconnect cable used in consumer audio equipment to output audio over reasonably short distances.

Etymology of Terms Etymology of Terms
• GUI- Stands for "Graphical User Interface," and is pronounced "gooey." It refers to the graphical interface of a computer that allows users to click and drag objects with a mouse instead of entering text at a command line.
• PS/2- is a type of port used by older computers for connecting input devices such as keyboards and mice. The port was introduced with IBM's Personal System/2 computer in 1987 (which was abbreviated "PS/2"). In the following years, the PS/2 port became the standard connection for keyboards and mice in all IBM compatible computers.

• USB-
• http://www.techterms.com/definition/usb
Stands for "Universal Serial Bus." USB is the most common type of computer port used in today's computers. It can be used to connect keyboards, mice, game controllers, printers, scanners, digital cameras, and removable media drives
• Firewire- FireWire is an I/O interface developed by Apple Computer. It is also known as IEEE 1394, which is the technical name standardized by the IEEE. Other names for IEEE 1394 include Sony i.Link and Yamaha mLAN, but Apple's FireWire name the most commonly used.

Input Devices Sample Input Devices Sample•
KeyboardMost common and very popular input device is keyboard. The keyboard helps in inputting the data to the computer. The layout of the keyboard is like that of traditional typewriter, although there are some additional keys provided for performing some additional functions.
MouseMouse is most popular Pointing device. It is a very famous cursor-control device. It is a small palm size box with a round ball at its base which senses the movement of mouse and sends corresponding signals to CPU on pressing the buttons.
Input Devices Sample Input Devices Sample•
• JoystickJoystick is also a pointing device which is used to move cursor position on a monitor screen. It is a stick having a spherical ball at its both lower and upper ends. The lower spherical ball moves in a socket. The Joystick can be moved in all four directions.
• Light PenLight pen is a pointing device which is similar to a pen. It is used to select a displayed menu item or draw pictures on the monitor screen. It consists of a photocell and an optical system placed in a small tube.
Input Devices Sample Input Devices Sample•
• Track Ballis an input device that is mostly used in notebook or laptop computer, instead of a mouse. This is a ball which is half inserted and by moving fingers on ball, pointer can be moved.
• Scanneris an input device which works more like a photocopy machine. It is used when some information is available on a paper and it is to be transferred to the hard disc of the computer for further manipulation.
Input Devices Sample Input Devices Sample
• MicrophoneMicrophone is an input device to input sound that is then stored in digital form. The microphone is used for various applications like adding sound to a multimedia presentation or for mixing music.
• Bar Code ReadersReader is a device used for reading bar coded data (data in form of light and dark lines). Bar coded data is generally used in labeling goods, numbering the books etc. It may be a hand held scanner or may be embedded in a stationary scanner.

• The term webcam is a combination of “Web" and "video camera." The purpose of a webcam is, not surprisingly, to broadcast video on the Web. Webcams are typically small cameras that either attach to a user's monitor or sit on a desk. Most webcams connect to the computer via USB, though some use a Firewire connection.

System Unit System Unit
• http://www.techterms.com/definition/system_unit
The system unit, also known as a "tower" or "chassis," is the main part of a desktop computer. It includes the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and other components. The system unit also includes the case that houses the internal components of the computer.
CPU CPU
• http://www.techterms.com/definition/cpu
Stands for "Central Processing Unit." This is the pretty much the brain of your computer. It processes everything from basic instructions to complex functions. Any time something needs to be computed, it gets sent to the CPU.
CPU CPU

• CPU itself has following three components.
• Memory Or Storage Unit:
• Control Unit
• ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit)
RAM RAM
• http://www.tutorialspoint.com/computer_fundamentals/computer_ram.htm
• A RAM constitutes the internal memory of the CPU for storing data, program and program result. It is read/write memory. It is called random access memory (RAM).
Motherboard Motherboard
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/computer_fundamentals/computer_motherboard.htm
• The motherboard serves as a single platform to connect all of the parts of a computer together. A motherboard connects CPU, memory, hard drives, optical drives, video card, sound card and other ports and expansion cards directly or via cables. It can be considered as the backbone of a computer.
Computer Ports Computer Ports
• http://www.tutorialspoint.com/computer_fundamentals/computer_ports.htm
• A computer port is a physical docking point using which an external device can be connected to the computer.
• A computer port can also be programmatic docking point through which information flows from a program to computer or over the internet.
Output Device Output Device
• http://www.techterms.com/definition/outputdevice
• Any device that outputs information from a computer is called, not surprisingly, an output device. Since most information from a computer is output in either a visual or auditory format.
Flat-Panel Display Monitor Flat-Panel Display Monitor
• http://www.techterms.com/definition/outputdevice
• Refers to a class of video devices that have reduced volume, weight and power requirement compare to the CRT. You can hang them on walls or wear them on your wrists. Current uses for flat-panel displays include calculators, videogames, monitors, laptop computer, graphics display.

• Linux• Linux (pronounce LINN-ux) is a family of open
source operating systems, which means that they can be modified and distributed by anyone around the world. This is very different from proprietary software like Windows, which can only be modified by the company that owns it (Microsoft). The advantages of Linux are that it is free, and there are many different distributions (or versions) that you can choose from. Each distribution has a different look and feel, and the most popular ones include Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora.
