    Task Activity 2: Essay

    1. What type of computer system do you see in class or in the lab? (Your senior high laboratory
    rooms) How much can you tell about the system by looking at it? List as much information as
    you can about the computer. What brand is it? What type of processor does it have? What
    external devices does it have? Is it connected to a network or printer?

    The Computer Systems that I saw in my senior high school laboratory was Personal Computer.
    The system was installed with multiple application software that are use for educational purpose
    like MS Office, AutoCAD, and more. It is running on Windows 10. The brand of the computer is
    Dell. The processor it has is Intel core i5. The external devices are mouse, keyboard, printer,
    projector, speaker, and microphone. Yes, it is connected to a network or printer.

    Task Activity 3 - Research and Report

    Direction: Using your own choice of resources (such as the Internet, books, magazines and
    newspapers, articles), research and write a short paper discussing one of the following topics

    1. The world’s smallest computer

     Scientists have developed the world’s smallest computer – a device that measures just 0.3
    millimetres and could help find new ways to monitor and treat cancer. Previous systems,
    including the 2x2x4 millimetre Michigan Micro Mote, retain their programming and data
    even when they are not externally powered. Unplug a desktop computer, and its program and
    data are still there when it boots itself up once the power is back. However, these new
    microdevices lose all prior programming and data as soon as they lose power. “We are not
    sure if they should be called computers or not. It’s more of a matter of opinion whether they
    have the minimum functionality required,” said David Blaauw, a professor at the University
    of Michigan in the US, who led the development of the new system.
    2. The history of computer operating system

     The first operating system was created by General Motors in 1956 to run a single IBM
    central computer. In the 1960s, IBM was the first computer manufacturer to take on the task
    of developing operating systems and began distributing operating systems included in its
    computers. The first operating systems were developed in the 1950s, when computers could
    only run one program at a time. Later in the following decades, computers began to include
    more and more software programs, sometimes called libraries, that came together to create
    the start of today’s operating systems. In the late 1960s, the first version of the Unix
    operating system was developed. Written in programming language C, and available for free
    during its early years. Unix easily adapted to the new systems and quickly achieved wide
    acceptance. Many modern operating systems, including Apple OS X and all different
    versions of Linux, date back or rely on the Unix OS. Microsoft Windows was developed in
    response to an IBM request for an operating system to run its range of personal computers or
    PCs.The first operating system created by Microsoft was not called Windows, it was called
    MS-DOS and it was built in 1981 when it bought the 86-DOS operating system from Seattle
    Computer Products and modified it to meet IBM requirements. The Windows name was first
    used in 1985 when a graphical user interface was created and paired or joined with the MS-
    DOS.Today Apple, OS X, Microsoft Windows and the various forms of Linux (including
    Android) dominate the vast majority of the modern operating systems market, as we saw
    earlier.

    3. Career Trends in Information Communication Technology (ICT) indicate the description


    of each Career and approximated salary.

     Computer programmer - Average salary: ₱205,048 / year


    Computer programmers write and test code that allows computer applications and software
    programs to function properly. They turn the program designs created by software developers
    and engineers into instructions that a computer can follow.

     Systems analyst - Average salary: ₱483,917 / year


    A systems analyst is a person who uses analysis and design techniques to solve business
    problems using information technology. Systems analysts may serve as change agents who
    identify the organizational improvements needed, design systems to implement those changes,
    and train and motivate others to use the systems.

     Web designer - Average salary: ₱299,907 / year


    Web designers use their creative and technical skills to design the layout and visuals
    of a website. These specialists make sure websites are not only aesthetic but also
    functional. Web design further branches out into two specializations: UI (User
    Interface) design and UX (User Experience) design. UI focuses on website visuals and
    user interactions, while UX involves the structure of a website

     Web developer - Average salary: ₱290,081 / year


    A web developer or programmer is someone who takes a web design - which has been created by
    either a client or a design team - and turns it into a website. They do this by writing lines and
    lines of complicated code, using a variety of languages. Web developers have quite a difficult
    job, because they essentially have to take a language we understand, such as English,
    and translate it into a language that a computer understands, such as Python or HTML.

     IT support specialist - Average salary: ₱222,641 / year


    An IT Support Specialist oversees computer systems for businesses and offers support to the
    system’s users. This may be internal assistance, working directly with staff who use the
    computer systems or it may be assisting external customers who access the systems via the
    Internet.

     Information security analyst - Average salary: ₱584,534 / year


    Information security analysts install software, such as firewalls, to protect computer networks.
    Information security analysts plan and carry out security measures to protect an organization's
    computer networks and systems. Their responsibilities are continually expanding as the number
    of cyberattacks increases.

     Data scientist - Average salary: ₱641,277 / year


    A data scientist is a professional responsible for collecting, analyzing and interpreting extremely
    large amounts of data. The data scientist role is an offshoot of several traditional technical roles,
    including mathematician, scientist, statistician and computer professional. This job requires the
    use of advanced analytics technologies, including machine learning and predictive modelling. A
    data scientist requires large amounts of data to develop hypotheses, make inferences, and analyze
    customer and market trends. Basic responsibilities include gathering and analyzing data, using
    various types of analytics and reporting tools to detect patterns, trends and relationships in data
    sets.
