World.
Computers have become a useful part of our everyday lives. The types of
computers we use at home or at work are referred to by varied names such as PCs,
microcomputers, workstations, laptops and desktops. These computers are most
popularly referred to as “personal computers” or PCs, the most common type of
computer in the world. Today, an average person uses computer-based assistance
several times each day and it becomes an integral part of our lives. So it is very
important to be aware of and understand them.
Reminder! Just follow the instructions given in this module. Now let us start
exploring new things in this module.
In this module, there will be three (3) major topics that you will encounter: (1)
plan and prepare for installation; (2) install hardware and software components and
OBJECTIVES
PRE-ASSESSMENT
You will be challenged to dig deeper into your prior knowledge and
previous experiences about computer hardware servicing.
ACTIVITY 1 – NAME IT
Direction: List five (5) hardware and software you are familiar with. Write your answer
on the bubbles provided below:
For the Pre-Assessment Questions, you may refer to the Worksheets provided
WORK IT
Awesome! You are brilliant, this time let’s start now our discussion
UNDERSTANDING COMPUTER
A computer is one of the most brilliant inventions of mankind. Thanks to the computer
technology, we were able to achieve storage and processing of huge amounts of data;
Analog Computers: These are almost extinct today. These are different from a digital
computer because an analog computer can perform several mathematical operations
simultaneously. It uses continuous variables for mathematical operations and utilizes
mechanical or electrical energy.
Digital Computers: They use digital circuits and are designed to operate on two states,
namely bits 0 and 1. They are analogous to states ON and OFF. Data on these
computers is represented as a series of 0s and 1s. Digital computers are suitable for
complex computation and have higher processing speeds. They are programmable.
Digital computers are either general purpose computers or special purpose ones.
Special purpose computers, as their name suggests, are designed for specific types of
data processing while general purpose computers are meant for general use.

CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTERS
The following are the classification of the different types of computers based on their
sizes and functionalities:
Personal computers come in different forms such as desktops, laptops and personal
digital assistants (refer to Figure 3). Let us look at each of these types of computers.
Netbooks: They fall in the category of laptops, but are inexpensive and relatively
smaller in size. They had a smaller feature set and lesser capacities in comparison to
regular laptops, at the time they came into the market.
Tablet Computers: Tablets are mobile computers that are very handy to use. They use
the touch screen technology. Tablets come with an onscreen keyboard or use a stylus
or a digital pen. Apple's iPod redefined the class of tablet computers.
Wearable Computers: A record-setting step in the evolution of computers was the
creation of wearable computers. These computers can be worn on the body and are
often used in the study of behavior modeling and human health. Military and health
professionals have incorporated wearable computers into their daily routine, as a part of

ACTIVITY 3 – HISTORY
Here is a picture which tells about the history of computers from mid twentieth century.
Study the picture and answer the following questions.

Problems :
First generation computers were often enormous, taking up entire rooms. They were
very expensive to operate and in addition to using a great deal of electricity, the vacuum
tubes generated a great deal of heat causing many problems in temperature regulation
and climate control, the tubes also burnt out frequently, which was often the cause of
malfunctions. People operating the computer can not respond to any problem encounter
during the operation since the programming was relied on machine language.

Amazing, you already know how the computers evolved from time to time. This
time let’s check if you already understand the timeline of the computer. You may ask a
help from your parents to do this activity. Write all your observation and answers in the
Worksheet.
