keyboarding and typing techniques
KEYBOARDING
Keyboarding could be defined as the act of entering data into the computer by the means of designation of computer keys. Keyboarding knowledge help once to handle every day work and activities effectively.
INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER:
A computer can be defined as an electronic device use for accepting, processing, storing and retrieval of information in a prescribed manner.
TYPES OF COMPUTERS:
Computer is of various type and capacity when classified according to their size and capability, we have four mains categories as follows:
Microcomputers: these are small computer that are suitable for single user application, these are popularly known as (personal computer) many offices, school, individual use micro computer.
Minicomputer: these are more powerful computer used by big firms and a company to carry out varies offices and departmental works in the organization. Minicomputers are suitable for multi-user application because they can accommodate hundred of users at the same time e.g. Bank, the entire individual computers are logged on to a Minicomputer which serve all the others terminal.
Mainframe computer: these types are bigger and more powerful than minicomputer; they are used by large organization for the processing of data more than the minicomputer.
Super computers: these are the biggest and most powerful of all computers, they are extremely faster; they are capable of processing hundred million of instruction per second because they are very expensive and therefore on very large organization can find them big institution.
COMPONENT OF COMPUTER SYSTEM.
When something is said to be a system means that, it has many distinct component that work together to achieve a pleasured presentation, the computer system is divided in to two (2) main components namely: hard ware and software.
