2 parts of the computer

3 how have computers affected your life?

4 how has technology affected your life?

5

6 how computers work  Four functions of a computer  Input  Process  Storage  Output The motherboard makes these functions occur by connecting the components that make up a computer.

7  How the data is entered into a computer  Keyboard  Mouse  Microphone  Scanner  Camera input

8 storage  Read Only Memory (ROM)  Random Access Memory (RAM)  Hard drive  Floppy disks  Zip disks  Thumb drives  CD-ROMs

9 processing  The central processing unit or CPU is the brain of the computer  It interacts with every other part of the computer  It handles the fetch, decode, and execute steps for the computer  It carries out instructions

10 output  Monitor  Printer  Plotter  Speaker The computer-generated information that is displayed to the user in some form such as screen display, printed page, or sound.

11 summary exercise Think of both a computer and a person as information processing machines. Identify the four components of an information- processing device for both and complete the following table. Computer Person Input done with: Information storage done with: Processing done by: Output done with:

12 technology and the future  Where do you think technology will take us?  What new directions do you think technology will go?  What is one thing that you wish computers could do now that they might be able to do in the future?

13 Computer Career  Job Description - Computer Programmer:  A computer programmer writes the programs computers use to perform their functions. The programmer follows the specifications given to him or her by a computer software engineer

14 Educational Requirements - Computer Programmer:  To work as a computer programmer one must usually have a bachelor's degree, generally in computer science, mathematics, or information systems.  Some computer programmers take coursework in computer science while earning their degrees in accounting, finance and business.  Some of those working as computer programmers earn an associate's degree or certificate.

15 Other Requirements - Computer Programmer:  Programming skills and experience are highly valued in this field, particularly knowledge of object- oriented languages and tools such as C++ and Java.  In addition, working computer programmers must constantly update their skills to keep up with changing technology.

16 Job Outlook - Computer Programmer:

17 Earnings - Computer Programmer:  Median annual earnings of computer programmers were $70,940 in 2009.  In 2011 : Average Computer Programmer Salary: $85,000

18 A Day in a Computer Programmer's Life:  On a typical day a computer programmer's tasks might include:  Correcting errors by making appropriate changes and rechecking the program to ensure that the desired results are produced.

19 A Day in a Computer Programmer's Life:  Conducting trial runs of programs and software applications to ensure that they will produce the desired information and that the instructions are correct.  Compiling and writing documentation of program development and subsequent revisions, inserting comments in the coded instructions so others can understand the program.

20 A Day in a Computer Programmer's Life:  Writing, updating, and maintaining computer programs or software packages to handle specific jobs such as tracking inventory, storing or retrieving data, or controlling other equipment.  Consulting with managerial, engineering, and technical personnel to clarify program intent, identify problems, and suggest changes.
