Introduction to Information Technology

INTRODUCTION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Through information technology consist of two words and a single term but it encloses in itself a vast measuring relating to any country’s development and progress. Since its an era of computer the introduction of IT has proved to be quit useful. When the field of communication science was near to decline, another field of computer sciences arose which was felt beneficial in uprising the level of communication sciences; then they were being merged into one-another to form a new field called IT (Information Technology). In this technology computer is being used as a useful tool.
            We are living in an information age, bombarded with loads of information around us. Information Technology is the use of science to store, handle, process and transmit information. Rapid changes are taking place in IT every movement all over the world. Not too long ago, the telephone was once of the few means which we can use to communicate with a friend over seas. Today’s, we have many other choices such as the fax machine and the computer Internet.

DEFINITIONS

J    When we learn study the latest information about the technology which is now a days enhanced to utilize these information practically and solve the requirement of the casual person is called as IT.
J    Information Technology is the methods, for using modern technology for storing, processing, analyzing and communication of information. Modern technology includes big Networks on which data can process, store and travel from one location to other location.
J    The technology that mergers computing with high-speed communication links carrying data, sound and video. The Technology to store, send, receive, process and present the information is called Information Technology.
J    IT is the mergers of two Sciences, i.e.      Computer Sciences & High-speed Communication Sciences.

 

COMPUTER SCIENCES

The field of study that deals with the structure and operations of computer systems. The study of computers, including both Hardware and Software design. Computer Sciences are composed of many board disciplines, including artificial and software engineering.

 

COMMUNICATION SCIENCES

            The field of study that deals with the structure and operations of communication system. The external architecture of a computer involves electronic signals being passed from component to component. It is a natural extension of this idea to send signals out of the computer to another computer perhaps thousands of kilometers away.

COMPUTER!

The word “COMPUTER” comes from the word “COMPUTE”, which means to calculate. Computer was to create a fast calculating machine. But more than 80% of work done by the computer today is non-mathematical or non-numerical, because computer work on binary digits (0s and 1s), 0 means off and 1 means on.

WHAT IS COMPUTER

A computer is an electronic, data processing device that
*  Receive the data; that we feed into it (INPUT)
*  Process the data; according to our instructions (PROCESSING)
*  Give the result; (OUTPUT)
*  Store the data, inside it (MEMORY).

DEFINITION OF COMPUTER

Computer is an automatic electronic data processing device, which can process the data under given commands, ability to remember information and also give the result. Computer accept the data process it generate the result (give out put) and able to store it. Computer is an electronic machine can calculate a specific result according to our given instructions. According to above definitions of computer it is observed that computer cannot perform any thing with out any program/software and programmers /soft wares are made human begins. So computer cannot perform any thing with out instruction on user. It only can dependent upon user, which type of command user can apply. Some advance computers like robots perform some thing without any command perform by any human being, but these type of computer has come special type of software which technology calls artificial intelligence. A I is such thing in which computer observe thing and than perform some things according to these observed, actually the software has ability to perform any thing and decide the which thing can be performed when any event occur. So we say hat computer perform any thing onto the verbal instructions of user.

COMPUTER SYSTEM

            A collection reference to all interconnected computing hardware, including processor, storage devices, input/output devices and communication equipments. Complete collection of computer components i.e. Hardware, Software, Peripherals, Power supplies and Communication links; making up a single computer system.

Hardware

The physical parts of the computer are collectively called its hardware. All the computer mechanism and parts are called the computer hardware e.g. Keyboard, motherboard, mouse, modem, monitor, printer etc.

Software

Program of the computer is called software. All the instruction and data are called computer software. Without the computer software the computer hardware is unable to do anything. Computer software makes the computer hardware alive. Operating system is also software, which is a translator between computer and computer user.

Peripherals

The keyboard and the printer are attached to the CPU at its periphery (Edges), so they are called peripherals. The Input/Output (I/O) devices are also called peripherals.

Power Supplies

All the power which supply inside the computer devices are supplied by the power supply external power cable attached with power supply and then it change it according to different and then supply it to devices. So power supply is the controller of the power inside the computer.

Communication Links?

Communication links are devices used in communication system of interconnected computers, telephone or other communications devices that can communicate with one another and share applications and data e.g. Modem, LAN Card etc.
