Introduction 

A computer is an electronic machine that processes raw data to give information as output.

An electronic device that accepts data as input, and transforms it under the influence of a set of special instructions called Programs, to produce the desired output (referred to as Information).

A computer is described as an electronic device because; it is made up of electronic components and uses electric energy (such as electricity) to operate.

A computer has an internal memory, which stores data & instructions temporarily awaiting processing, and even holds the intermediate result (information) before it is communicated to the recipients through the Output devices.

It works on the data using the instructions issued, means that, the computer cannot do any useful job on its own. It can only work as per the set of instructions issued.

A computer Program is a set of related instructions written in the language of the computer & is used to make the computer perform a specific task (or, to direct the computer on what to do).

A set of related instructions which specify how the data is to be processed.
A set of instructions used to guide a computer through a process.

Data: Is a collection of raw facts, figures or instructions that do not have much meaning to the user.

­ Data may be in form of numbers, alphabets/letters or symbols, and can be processed to produce information.

Importance of information Technology

Information technology (IT) is the application of computers to store, study, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data, or information, often in the context of a business or other enterprise. IT is considered a subset of information and communications technology (ICT).

The role and importance of information technology in our society is as follows:
1. Business: With the introduction of computers, the business world was changed forever. Using computers and software, businesses use information technology to ensure that their departments run smoothly. They use information technology in a number of different departments including human resources, finance, manufacturing, and security.
2. Education: Using technology, teachers can prepare their students for a future flooded with gadgets including tablets, mobile phones, computers, and so much more. Information technology is helping to prevent more high school and college dropouts as well.

3. Finance: Without information technology, online purchases would be impossible, and it would be impossible for banks to keep these purchases secure. Information technology has also made it faster and easier than ever to send or receive money.

4. Healthcare: Improvements in information technology have allowed for great reform in healthcare. Most medical offices can now send and receive digital medical information from doctors youve had in the past. Changes like this allow costs to be lowered and increase the amount of time doctors can spend on patients compared to paperwork.

5. Security: With so many transactions done online and so much information available online, its important to keep all of that safe. Information technology makes it possible for your online data to stay secure until accessed by the proper channels. Using passwords and encryption, information technology hides your personal digital data away, and the only way it can be accessed is by companies who have permission from you.
6. Communication: With improvements in information technology, globalization has increased. The world is brought closer, and the worlds economy is quickly becoming a single interdependent system. Information can be shared quickly and easily from all over the glob, and barriers of linguistic and geographic boundaries can be torn down as people share ideas and information with each other.

7. Employment: Information technology has also created new jobs. Programmers, systems analyzers, hardware and software developers, and web designers all owe their jobs to information technology. Without such advances, these jobs would not exist.

Input/Output Devices 

An input/output device, often known as an IO device, is any hardware that allows a human operator or other systems to interface with a computer. Input/output devices, as the name implies, are capable of delivering data (output) to and receiving data from a computer (input).
An input/output (I/O) device is a piece of hardware that can take, output, or process data. It receives data as input and provides it to a computer, as well as sends computer data to storage media as a storage output.

The keyboard is the most frequent and widely used input device for entering data into a computer. Although there are some additional keys for performing other operations, the keyboard layout is similar to that of a typical typewriter.
Generally, keyboards come in two sizes: 84 keys or 101/102 keys, but currently keyboards with 104 keys or 108 keys are also available for Windows and the Internet.

Monitors, also known as Visual Display Units (VDUs), are a computer’s primary output device. It creates images by arranging small dots, known as pixels, in a rectangular pattern. The amount of pixels determines the image’s sharpness. 

Application Software

Application Software is a type of computer program that performs specific functions. These functions, performed by application software, can be personal, business as well as educational. Thus, application Software is also known as end-user software or productivity software. 

Each software program is developed to assist users with the particular process related to productivity, efficiency, and communication. Unlike System Software, Application Software is specific for its functionality and completes the task that they are developed to do. The majority of apps that we see on our smartphones are examples of application software.

Cut And Paste 

Cut

• Deleting unnecessary data from a document is called cutting.

• In Microsoft Word, you can cut text from one area of a document and paste that text anywhere in the document.

• After you cut the text, it gets stored in the clipboard.

• If you want to cut any text or word from a document, it is advisable to highlight the word first.

• To cut, Right Click → Cut.

• The shortcut key is "Ctrl + X".

Paste

• Select your text and then copy it..

• Use mouse to move the cursor to desired position to paste the copied text.

• Click paste to insert the copied text in its new place.

• You can paste clipboard information as often as you like.

• To paste, Right Click → Paste.

• The shortcut key is "Ctrl + V".

Importance of Word Processing in Education

As teachers, we are often amazed by our tech-savvy students. But the ways in which they use their computers and devices are often quite selective – they may be adept at games, online web browsing, and social media, but they might lack key skills such as word processing. Educators must teach these basics explicitly. Students need these critical competencies for countless future school assignments. Also, teaching word processing to gives young people entering the workforce a real advantage for the future.

Word processing is using a device to create, edit, format, and share documents. The most popular applications are Microsoft Word and Google Docs. These programs format text, stylize images, arrange objects, alter page layout, create tables, spell check, and more! Each offers a range of tools and options to produce professional-looking publications.

Importance of Data Basemagment in Education

Data Segmentation is the process of taking the data you hold and dividing it up and grouping similar data together based on the chosen parameters so that you can use it more efficiently within marketing and operations. Examples of Data Segmentation could be:

• Gender
• Customers vs. Prospects
• Industry

The key benefits of Data Segmentation are:

1. Through you will be able create messaging that is tailored and sophisticated to suit your target market – appealing to their needs better.
2. It allows you to easier conduct of your data stored in your database, helping to identify potential opportunities and challenges based within it.
3. Enables you to mass-personalise your marketing communications, reducing costs.

Computer Games 

Computer games are games played on or using electronic devices, such as gaming consoles, smartphones, tablets, virtual reality headsets, or personal computers. They can be played on the internet, local area networks, or offline. Like games, computer games vary widely and include complex online worlds with multiple players (known as massively multiplayer online [MMO] games), through to simple single-player puzzles. Computer games vary along dimensions including the degree of narrative or character development, length and complexity, and genre or type of game (Entertainment Software Association, 2019a; Ferreira-Brito et al., 2019; Fleming et al., 2017). There are many classes of computer games.

Internet importance and Need

Internet is the foremost important tool and the prominent resource that is being used by almost every person across the globe. It connects millions of computers, webpages, websites, and servers. Using the internet we can send emails, photos, videos, messages to our loved ones. Or in other words, the internet is a widespread interconnected network of computers and electronics devices(that support internet). It creates a communication medium to share and get information online. If your device is connected to the Internet then only you will be able to access all the applications, websites, social media apps, and many more services. Internet nowadays is considered as the fastest medium for sending and receiving information.

1. Online Banking and Transaction: The Internet allows us to transfer money online by the net banking system. Money can be credited or Debited from one account to the other.
2. Education, online jobs, freelancing: Through the Internet, we are able to get more jobs via online platforms like Linkedin and to reach more job providers. Freelancing on the other hand has helped the youth to earn a side income and the best part is all this can be done via INTERNET.

The Internet is a great platform for students to learn throughout their lifetime. They can use the internet to learn new things and even acquire degrees through online education programs. Teachers can also use the internet to teach students around the world.

Conclusion

A computer provides the most important tool for research in today’s life that is the internet. The Internet is defined as a network which is formed by connecting different networks. Today the internet can help us with almost anything. Most importantly, the internet helps us in research. Starting from the students studying in school to the scientist working in laboratories, computer, or more precisely the internet, helps everybody in research. The Internet is flooded with abundant information on almost all the topics of which we are aware of. In the summer vacations, students are given some holiday’s homework to research or make projects on the topics they do not know about. For these topics, of which the students do not have any idea, the internet helps them. The Internet can give them a lot of information on the required topic. A scientist can take the help of internet to search the already present discoveries to create a new one. Therefore computers can help a lot in research. So the knowledge about computers is necessary. Everyone should know how to use the computer system and the resources associated with it to improve their own research skills.
