RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE
An automobile such as a car or a van, is available in deferent models and colors, but its essential components
remain same. Similarly, computer are always in various sizes and shapes, but they all have common
components that work in the same manner. The essential components of a computer are hardware and
software.
In this session, you will learn about common computer terminologies, such as hardware, software and many
more things.
A computer system consists of four parts:-
Hardware represents the physical and tangible components of the computer. It includes all input devices,
Processing devices, storage devices and output devices.
Some examples of hardware are as follows:-
a) Hard disk
b) Monitor
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (402) CLASS-IX
c) Motherboard
d) Cables
e) Printers
f) Keyboard
g) Mouse etc.
You use hardware to provide input to a computer and also to get the desired output for eg., whwn you play a
musical instrument, such as piano you provide input by prssing keys and get the desired output in the form of
music.
Similarly, computers also need input and output devices to work on the input data and generate desired
output.
The most important processing device is the CPU (Central Processing Unit)
A Motherboard is a large circuit board that connects input, output and processing devices.
These three steps constitute the data processing cycle-
Input:- Input data is prepared in some convenient form for processing. The form will depend on the processing
machine.
For ex. When electronic computer are used, the input data could be recorded on any one of several types of
input medium, such as magnetic disks, tapes and so on.
Processing: - In this step input data is changed to produce data in a more useful form.
For ex. Paychecks may be calculated from the time cards, or a summary of sales for the month may be
calculated from the sales orders.
Output: - The results of the proceeding processing step are collected.
The particular form of the output data depends on the use of the data.
For ex. Output data may be paychecks for employees.

take hours to complete. You will be surprised to know that computer can perform millions (1,000,000) of
instructions and even more per second.
b. Accuracy: - The degree of accuracy of computer is very high and every calculation is performed with
the same accuracy. The errors in computer are due to human and inaccurate data.
c. Diligence: - A computer is free from tiredness, lack of concentration, fatigue, etc. It can work for hours
without creating any error. If millions of calculations are to be performed, a computer will perform every
calculation with the same accuracy. Due to this capability it overpowers human being in routine type of
work.
d. Versatility: - It means the capacity to perform completely different type of work. You may use your
computer to prepare payroll slips. Next moment you may use it for inventory management or to prepare
electric bills.
e. Storage: - The Computer has an in-built memory where it can store a large amount of data. You can
also store data in secondary storage devices such as floppies, which can be kept outside your computer
and can be carried to other computers.
Q6. What are the limitations of Computer?
Ans. The Limitations of Computer are: a. Power of Remembering: - Computer has the power of storing any amount of information or data. Any
information can be stored and recalled as long as you require it, for any numbers of years. It depends
entirely upon you how much data you want to store in a computer and when to lose or retrieve these data.
b. No IQ: - Computer is a dumb machine and it cannot do any work without instruction from the user. It
performs the instructions at tremendous speed and with accuracy. It is you to decide what you want to do
and in what sequence. So a computer cannot take its own decision as you can.
c. No Feeling: - It does not have feelings or emotion, taste, knowledge and experience. Thus it does not

Q11. What is Data? Ans. Computer data is information processed or stored by a computer. This information may be in the
form of text documents, images, audio clips, software programs, or other types of data. Computer data
may be processed by the computer's CPU and is stored in files and folders on the computer's hard disk.
Q12. What is Networks? Ans. A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources (such as
printers and CDs), exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network may
be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams.
A typical network has the following three components:
Server: The main computer on a network that provides services to other computers on the network. A
server decides which computers are to be allowed to access the hardware and software on the network.
Workstation: A computer connected to a network. You use a workstation to access the hardware and
software on a network.
Communication channel: A path or link that connects computers or peripheral devices, such as printers
and disk drives, to transfer information. Cables are commonly used as communication channels in a
network, but networks can also transfer information through wireless connections.
Q13. What is Intranet? Ans. The Internet is a worldwide collection of public networks that are linked to each other for
information exchange. The Internet started as a network to facilitate communication between government
and educational departments in the United States. When other networks were connected to this network, it
became a vast medium for exchanging information and ideas.
Today, the Internet connects many commercial, government, and educational networks, as well as
individual computers, which share data. The Internet offers a range of services to its users, such as file
transfers between Internet users and electronic mail for sending messages.
The World Wide Web (WWW), or the Web, is another service that the Internet provides.
Q14. What is Intranet? Ans. Many organizations use a special type of network to communicate and share information within the
organization. Such a network is called an intranet. An intranet is similar to the WWW but is accessible
only to authorized users of the organization. An intranet is much smaller than the Internet and can provide
services such as document distribution, software distribution, access to databases, and training.
