Lesson 1: IT Revolution

What is Information Technology?

IT stands for “Information Technology”
▪ Information Technology (IT) defined by the Information Technology Association
of America (ITAA) as “the study, design, development, implementation, support, or
management of computer-based information systems, particularly software
applications and computer hardware”.
▪ IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert,
store, protect, process, transmit, and security retrieve information.

History of IT
Four Main Stages:
1. Pre-mechanical Age (3000 B.C. - 1450 A.D.) - The earliest age of technology.
⮚ Petroglyphs – pictures carved on rocks to tell a story, map their terrain, or keep
accounts such as how many animals one owned.
⮚ Abacus - the first ever calculator and was invented in this period after the development of
the numbering system.

2. Mechanical Age (1450 A.D - 1840 A.D)

⮚ The First Information Explosion
⮚ When we first start to see connections between our current technology and its ancestors.
⮚ Pascaline – invented by Blaise Pascal. A very popular mechanical computer capable of
adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing two numbers.

3. Electromechanical Age (1840 A.D – 1940 A.D)

⮚ The Beginnings of Telecommunication
⮚ Telegraph was created in early 1800s
⮚ Alexander Graham Bell – created Telephone in 1876
⮚ Guglielmo Marconi – developed the first radio in 1894
⮚ Mark 1 – (8ft x 50ft x 2ft big computer weighed a whopping five tons) the first-large
scale digital computer in the United States

4. Electronic Age (1940 A.D - Present)

⮚ ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first electronic general-
purpose computer.
⮚ A Personal Computer was developed.

 Lesson 2: Computer Hardware
Technology
⮚ comes from the Greek word “techne” which means “craft or art”.
⮚ is a planned, systematic method of working to achieve planned outcomes—a
process not a product. Technology is the applied side of scientific development. –
Dale (1969)
⮚ refers to any valid or reliable process or procedure that is derived from basic
research using the scientific method.
⮚ all the ways people use interventions to satisfy their needs and desires.

Computer
refers to an electronic device that accepts data and instructions, performs logical
and mathematical operations and generates the outputs of the processing.

Characteristics and Capabilities of Computer

Speed
Accuracy
Diligence
Versatility
Power of Remembering
No IQ

Lesson 2.1
Parts of the Keyboard

Ctrl Key – in computing, a control key is a modifier key which when pressed in conjunction
with another key, performs a special operation; similar to shift key, the control key rarely
performs any function when pressed by itself.
(For example, when you pressed Ctrl+C it will copy the highlighted text, and Ctrl+V will paste
the highlighted text)

Shift Key – is a modifier key on a keyboard, used to type capital letters and other alternate
“upper” characters. There are typically two shift keys, on the left and right sides of the row
below the home row. The shift key’s name originated from the typewriter, where one had
to press and hold the button to shift up the case stamp to change to capital letters; the shift
key was first used in the Remington No. 2 Type-writer of 1878, the No. 1 model was capital
only.

Tab Key – is used for tabulation or the act of indenting the first line of a new paragraph
when using the computer as a word processor. It is also used to advance from one item to
the next item when filling in forms.

Space bar – a long horizontal key on the lower edge of a keyboard that is always the largest
key on the keyboard. When the space bar key is pressed it creates an empty space, also
known as a space character in a sentence.

Enter Key – referred to as a return key, the enter key when referring to a keyboard is used
to return a cursor to the next line or execute a command or operation. It is common for
most standard keyboards to have two enter or return keys, one on the keyboard and one
on the numeric keypad.

Caps Lock Key – is a lock key found on many computer keyboards, depending on the local
keyboard layout they implement. It is located in the position of a similar Shift lock key
found in some other keyboard layouts.

Backspace Key – is a keyboard key used to delete any character before the current
position of the cursor that is adapted from typewriters.

Jessa Mae M. De Vera, LPT
Cursor Key – cursor movement or arrow keys are buttons on a computer keyboard that
are either programmed or designated to move the cursor in a specified direction. The term
“cursor movement key” is distinct from “arrow key” in that the former term may refer to
any of various keys on a computer designated for cursor movement, whereas “arrow keys”
generally refers to one of four specific keys, typically marked with arrows.

Numeric Keypad – a keypad that has become a standard feature of PC keyboards. Apart
from numeric lock, these typically duplicate the function of other keys but are designed to
make entering basic numerical calculations as quick as on a digital calculator.

slots and are what determine the type of RAM used with the computer.

Power and Reset Button

The reset button could be an actual button or concept. The reset button would typically
kick off a soft boot, instructing the computer to go through the process of shutting down,
which would clear memory and reset devices to their initialized state. Contrary to the
Power button which simply removes power immediately.

Lesson 3: SOFTWARE

Software – refers to the non-physical and intangible components of the computer system.
It is also called a program or set of instructions that instruct the hardware what to do.
- Program serves as an interface between the hardware and peopleware for the
computer system operations.

Peopleware – refers to the person who uses the computer or the person involved in data
processing operations.
(It could be anyone who uses the computer for personal tasks, enhancement of learning, or
just to have fun. Examples are data entry operator, computer operator, computer
programmer, systems analysts, computer center director, database administrator, network
administrator, and you as a student or as researcher.)

(Also it is important to remember that the Operations of the whole computer system are
governed by policies and procedures called dataware. Examples of dataware are instruction
manual, operating procedures, and processing procedures)

Categories of Software:
1. System Software – refers to the programs that assist in the computer operations. It
facilitates the execution of application programs.
