Application of Computers

.

 Some of the application areas of the computer are listed bellow:

1. Education:

Computers are extensively used, as a tool and as an aid, for imparting education.
  • Educators use computers to prepare notes and presentations of their lectures.
  • The computer provides a tool in the education system known as CBE (computer Based Education).
  • Computers are used to develop computer based training packages, to provide distance education using the e-learning software, and to conduct online examinations.
  •  Researchers use computers to get easy access to conference and journal details and to get global access to the research material.

2. Entertainment:

Computers have had a major impact on the entertainment industry.
  • The user can download and view movies, play games, chat, book tickets for cinema halls, use multimedia for making movies, incorporate visual and sound effects using computers, etc.
  • The users can also listen to music, download and share music, create music using computers, etc.

3. Advertising:

Computer is a powerful advertising media.
  • Advertisement can be displayed on different websites, electronic-mails can be sent and reviews of a product by different customers can be posted.
  • Computer also used to create an advertisement using the visual and the sound effects.
  • Web advertising has become a significant factor in the marketing plans of almost all companies.

4. Healthcare:

Medical researchers and practitioners use computers to access information about the advances in medical research or to take opinion of doctors globally.

  • Diagnostic System − Computers are used to collect data and identify the cause of illness.

  • Lab-diagnostic System − All tests can be done and the reports are prepared by computer.
  • Patient Monitoring System − These are used to check the patient's signs for abnormality such as in Cardiac Arrest, ECG, etc.
  • Pharma Information System − Computer is used to check drug labels, expiry dates, harmful side effects, etc

  • Surgery − Nowadays, computers are also used in performing surgery.

5. Scientists and engineers

  • Scientists and engineers use computers for performing complex scientific calculations, for designing and making drawings (CAD/CMD applications) and also for simulating and testing the designs.

  • Computers are used for storing the complex data, performing complex calculations and for visualizing 3-dimensional objects.
  • Complex scientific applications like the launch of the rockets, space exploration, etc, are not possible without the computer.

6. Business:

A computer has high speed of calculation, diligence, accuracy, reliability, or versatility which has made it an integrated part in all business organizations.
  • Computers are totally integrated into business. The main objective of business is transaction processing, which involves transactions with suppliers, employees or customers.

  • Computers can make these transactions easy and accurate. People can analyze investments, sales, expenses, markets and other aspects of business using computers.

  • Computer is used in business organizations for :
  1. Payroll calculations
  2. Budgeting
  3. Sales analysis
  4. Financial forecasting
  5. Managing employee database
  6. Maintenance of stocks, etc.

7. Banking :

In the banking sector, computers are used to store details of customers and conduct transactions, such as withdrawal and deposit of money through ATMs. Banks have reduced manual errors and expenses to a great extent through extensive use of computers.

8. Military

Computers are largely used in defense. Modern tanks, missiles, weapons, etc. Military also employs computerized control systems. Some military areas where a computer has been used are :
  • Missile Control
  • Military Communication
  • Military Operation and Planning
  • Smart Weapons

9. Communication :

Communication is a way to convey a message, an idea, a picture, or speech that is received and understood clearly and correctly by the person for whom it is meant. Some main areas in this category are :
  • E-mail
  • Chatting
  • Usenet
  • FTP
  • Telnet
  • Video-conferencing

10. Government :

Computers play an important role in government services. Some major fields in this category are :
  • Budgets
  • Sales tax department
  • Income tax department
  • Computation of male/female ratio
  • Computerization of voters lists
  • Computerization of PAN card
  • Weather forecasting

Introduction of Computer

.  A computer is an electronic device. It take input and store the data in memory and performing the function to produce accurate result in output device. It is used to type document, send email, play game, browse the web and entertainment.   Characteristics of computer  1 . High speed  Computer is very fast device. It is capable of performing calculation of very large amount of data. The computer has unit of speed in microsecond, nanosecond and even in picosecond. The computer is capable of performing millions of tasks per second. 2. Accuracy  The computer produces highly accurate and reliable result.  It does not make any kind of mistake in calculating. The calculation are 100% error free. The computers perform accurate 'n' number of times. 3. Storage capability A computer has much more storage capability. It can store large amount of data. It can store any type of data such as image, video, text document, audio and many more. 4. Diligence Diligence ...

Introduce Linux, UNIX and Linux distribution.

 . Linux Linux is an open source operating system. The term Linux is actually referred to mean a kernel of Unix like operating system developed by a Finish software architect Linus Torvald. The name Linux is derived from Linus' Unix. Linux was originated from the inspiration of a small Unix like operating system MINIX by A.S Tanenbum. Linux is a complete multiuser, multiprocessing, secure and stable operating system which is also considered as UNIX clone. However no code from the proprietary from AT and T is included in Unix. It has flavor of Unix but is not Unix. UNIX  UNIX is a layered operating system. The innermost layer is the hardware that provides the service for the OS. The operating system, referred to in UNIX as the kernel, interacts directly with the hardware and provides the services to the user program. These user programs don't need to know anything about the hardware. They just need to know how to interact with the kernel and it's up to the kernel to provide ...

Open System Interconnect (OSI) Reference Model

 . Open system interconnection (OSI) Model explains how packet travels through various layers to other devices on a network, even if the sender and destination have different types of network media. Layer 1(Physical layer):  Function  To activate, maintain, deactivate the physical connection.  To define voltage and data rates needed for transmission.  To convert the digital bits into electrical signals.  To decide weather the transmission the transmission is simplex, half or full duplex.  Physical layer doesn’t perform the detection and correction of errors. Layer 2 (Datalink layer):  Framing (stream of bits into manageable data units):  The datalink layer divides the stream of bits received from the network layer into frame manageable data units called frames.  Physical addressing (MAC Address):  Data link layer adds a header to header to the frame to define the sender and receiver of the frame. Flow Control (mechanism for overwhel...
