3 What is a computer?
4 What is a computer? One who computes; a calculator, reckoner; spec. a person employed to make calculations in an observatory, in surveying, etc. (OED II) A calculating-machine; esp. an automatic electronic device for performing mathematical or logical operations
5 Definition of a computer: General Purpose Stored-Program Electronic Binary Digits Calculating Machine
6 General Purpose Is it dedicated to one purpose if can it do any type of calculation? Would a calculator be a computer? Is a PDA like this a computer?
7 Stored-Program How are programs and data loaded into the device? ENIAC - Programmed Manually EDVAC - Stored-Program (John von Neumann)
8 Electronic Does it have gears, vacuum tubes, or chips? Babbage s engines were mechanical
9 Binary Digits How is information stored and manipulated in the computer? One Digit (How Many Settings?) Hi! My name is C3P Alphanumeric (Letters & Numbers) Numbers - 10 Possible Settings Binary Digits - 2 Possible Settings What is hexadecimal?
10 Calculating Machine Capable of performing logical or mathematical operations on binary data. Capable of processing information. Translation engine
11 Administration Students to come talk to me: , , , Reading on History of Multimedia No class on Thursday! Meet in small groups to discuss reading.
12 Types of Computer Mainframe Mini(computer) Workstation (UNIX) Microcomputer Personal Computer (PC) Laptops & PDAs Game computers Terminals (NCs) Brand Names IBM & IBM Clones Compaq, Dell, Toshiba Apple Macintosh Sony & Nintendo SGI (Silicon Graphics) Other Types?
13 Perspectives on Computers Definitions History Types (Topology) Metaphors Uses (Functions) Components (Analysis) When a computer starts Input/Output
14 Metaphors for Computers? What is your favorite metaphor for a computer?
15 Metaphors for Computers The Mind - Processing = Thinking Memory (Hard Drive) Consciousness (RAM) Office - Processing = Working Running, Opening, Loading Storage Desktop Deleting Saving, Filing
16 Brain and Computer Brain vs. Mind Is the Brain a Computer in the mechanical/electronic sense? Does the Mind work like a computer? Can computers perform functions we ascribe to the mind? Does it matter? What are the implications of acting as if a computer could perform mental functions?
17 Wire Heads
18 What are the uses of computers? major Is the computer just a tool? Just what is a tool? Means and Ends To a hammer everything looks like a nail.
19 some of the Uses of the computer As a fancy calculator As a fancy typewriter As a servant/controller for other devices As an extension of your TV As type of toy As a fancy telephone Is the computer just a tool?
20 Input and Output How does information get into the computer? (Info-processing Model) How does the computer return information? Input Devices Processor CPU Output Devices Storage Devices
21 Input and Output Input Keyboard Mouse Scanner Microphone (Audio digitizer) Video digitizer Output Screen Printer Speaker
22 Parts of the Computer Input/Output System Unit Motherboard CPU (Central Processing Unit) RAM Hard Drive and Floppy Drive Power Supply Daughterboards Keyboard Monitor Peripherals
23 Power Supply Electricity Data Floppy Drive Socket Power Supply Hard Drive Motherboard Monitor Keyboard
24 Bus the electric connection linking internal components of the computer Central Processing Unit How is the Bus like the net? Data RAM/ROM Hard Drive Floppy Disk Drive Bus (PCI, SCSI) 16 bit 32 bit Daughter Boards Modem Monitor
25 Starting-up (Booting) IBM Class Layered Model Mac document (*.wpd) WP (wp.exe) Windows Intel (X86) Document(s) Program (WordPefect) Running Opening Program/File Management Operating System Booting Hardware (RAM) document Word Perfect Finder Mac OS Power PC
26 Types of Storage Storage Permanent Temporary Removable Fixed RAM ROM Hard Drive Floppy CD-ROM Magneto-Optical Storage typically measured in K (Kilobytes), MB (Megabytes) or GB (Gigabytes)
27 Review - From letters to bytes A 1 Byte Laser (8 Bits) off.on.off.off.off.off.off.on CD-ROM Floppy Disk
28 Storage (bits and bytes) Kbps = Kilobits per second Computer is digital. Information has to be digitized. (binary digits) Bits and Bytes Bit - 0 or 1/On or Off/ Byte - Eight Bits K (Kilobyte) 1024 bytes MB (Megabyte) about 1000 K GB (Gigabyte) about 1000 MB Number Binary Letter ASCII A B
