What Is the Meaning of Computer Education?


Computer education is designed to build familiarity with one of the most ubiquitous technologies of the 21st century. The level and depth of computer education vary greatly, from that required by the occasional user to the needs of a deep-dive specialist. The subject matter is broad and encompasses a variety of disciplines.

Components of Computer Education

All types of computers follow a same basic logical structure and perform the following five basic operations for converting raw input data into information useful to their users.

Input Unit

This unit contains devices with the help of which we enter data into computer. This unit makes link between user and computer.

The input devices translate the information into the form understandable by computer.


CPU (Central Processing Unit)


CPU is considered as the brain of the computer. CPU performs all types of data processing operations. It stores data, intermediate results and instructions(program). It controls the operation of all parts of computer. CPU itself has following three components a.ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit) b.Memory Unit c.Control Unit


Output Unit


Output unit consists of devices with the help of which we get the information from computer. This unit is a link between computer and users. Output devices translate the computer's output into the form understandable by users.

What is Central Processing Unit ?

Central Processing Unit The processing unit or the Central Processing Unit is responsible for carrying out The processing job. The CPU is the 'brain' of the computer. It is where all the searching, sorting, calculating and decision making take place. The CPU is the control center for a computer. It guides, directs and controls a computer's performance. The CPU is a single large scale semiconductor circuit chip and is also known as the microprocessor. It can be represented by a simple diagram as shown below The processor is placed and secured into a compatible CPU socket found on the motherboard. Processors produce heat, so they are covered with a heat sink to keep them cool and running smoothly. As you can see in the above picture, the chip are hundreds of connector pins that plug into each of the corresponding holes in the socket. Today, most CPU's resemble the picture shown above. However, Intel and AMD have also experimented with slot proces...

computer and it's generation

Computer and It's GENERATION Let us first define the term computer. Computer is defined in the Oxford dictionary as "An automatic electronic apparatus for making calculations or controlling operations that are expressible in numerical or logical terms." The definition clearly categorise computer as electronic apparatus although the first computers were mechanical and electromechanical apparatus. The definition is also pointing towords the two major areas of computer application viz. data processing and computer assisted controls/operations. The another important confluence of the definition is the fact that the computer can perform only those operations/calculations which can be expressed in logical or numerical terms. Computer Generation From the early 1940's to the present, Computer scientists have been able to identify clear-cut stages in the development of computer technology. With each stage, radical change in electronics have taken place. As a resu...

Classification of computer based on their cost size and confriguration.

TYPES OF COMPUTER Computer and it's Type Computers are classified by the type of data they are desinged to process. Data may be obtained either as a result of countig of through the use of same measuring instrument. Data that are obtained by counting are called discreate data are total numbers of students in a classroom. Data that must be obtained throgh measurement are called continous data. For example, continious data are the speeds an automobile measure by speedmotor or the tempreature of a patient as masured by a thermometer. Classification of computer based on their cost size and confriguration. In this category computers are classified as micro-computer. mainfraim compute...
