HOW COMPUTERS WORK
Computers in our Daily Life

A computer does not have a human


brain inside but acts in many ways as
though it does have a real one.

A computer understand machine


language. It sees the letters as a
series of 0’s and 1’s called binary
language.
Hexadecimal Number
System
It uses 16 digits to
Octal Number System represent values.
It uses 8 digits to
represent values.
Binary Number System
Can only understand two
digits – a 0 and 1.
HOW COMPUTERS INTERPRET DATA
Computers in our Daily Life

Computer systems convert characters from the keyboard


and later display them on the monitor.

PROGRAMMER CODING

01 Create programs
for computers to
do specific tasks
02 Means writing
programs

ASCII CODE COMPUTER

03 7-bit code used to


represent letters,
numbers and
04 Hexadecimal – 63
Binary – 0110 0011
basic special
characters
HOW COMPUTERS COMMUNICATE WITH ONE
ANOTHER
Notice how computer uses different ways to
connect to certain devices:
• SYSTEM BUS – a pathway composed of
cables and connectors used to carry
data from a computer’s peripheral
devices–monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.
– to the CPU and the main memory

• DATA BUS – can transfer data to and


from the memory of a computer, or into
or out of the CPU.
• ADDRESS BUS – used by CPU to
specify a physical address for
instructions, files, and other devices
within the computer system.
• CONTROL BUS – used by CPUs to
communicate with other devices within
the computer system.

TASKS: GROUP ACTIVITY
DISCUSSION
1. Work with the same grouping. Discuss among yourselves how the
“Pass the Message” game relates to the chapter discussion by
answering the following questions:
a) What was the pass code in the game for? Why is it
important to have a “pass code” in a computer system?
b) How was the concept of wired and wireless connections
applied in the game? Which one do you consider wired?
Wireless?

2. Imagine life without computers. How is it like? Now imagine


the future with everything going computerized or digital? How
is it like?

Create a meme showing either of the two scenarios. A group


representative should post it on Facebook. Let your instructor
and classmates comment or react on it.
TASKS

3. Search online for an application that has both a


web version and a mobile version. Compare and
contrast the versions in terms of content, layout, and
design. For class presentation, create a poster
highlighting the differences between the two.
