WHAT IS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY?
• Information technology is the study of engineering computer applications to support the operation of an organization : operating , installing and maintaining software and data.

COMPUTERA computer is a programmable electronic
device. It takes data through input devices. It processes the data according to a sequence of instructions provided in the form of a program. The result is called the output and given through some output device.
5
COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY• Communication technology is the
study of technology applications used in telecommunications.
6
CONTENT TECHNOLOGY• New content technologies are
re-energizing traditional publishing processes across the entire content lifecycle, bringing real gains in speed, accuracy, flexibility, and scalability. Organizations can now profitably manage diverse portfolios of content through new digital and mobile channels with re-engineered, optimized content workflows.

MEMORY
MAIN MEMORY
• RAM is volatile.• It is temporary
memory.• It has limited storage
capacity.• It is very expensive.• It is not portable.
SECONDARY MEMORY
• It is non volatile.• It is permanent
memory.• It has large storage
capacity.• It is cheaper .• It is portable.
10
Computer uses several different types of memory. They are : -
INTERNAL MEMORY Main memory ( RAM )
Cache memory
EXTERNAL MEMORY Secondary memory
UNITS OF MEMORY
11
STORAGE DEVICES
MAGNETIC STORAGE MEDIA
FLOPPY DISK
HARD DISK
OPTICAL STORAGE MEDIA CD ( COMPACT DISC )
PEN DRIVE
12
Secondary storage devices are classified into two types : -
TYPES OF SOFTWARE
• SYSTEM SOFTWARE
• APPLICATION SOFTWARE
• UTILITY SOFTWARE13
SYSTEM SOFTWARE• System software is a set of
program that are used to control the operations of a computer system. System software is divided into four categories:
• Assemblers• Compilers• Interpreters• Operating system
14
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
• Application software are a set of program that are put together for specific purpose or task. There are two types of application software:-
• General Purpose Application Software
• Customized Software
15
UTILITY SOFTWARE
• Utility software is a small program that provides additional capabilities to the operating system.
• For example :- disk defragmenter , registry cleaners.
• WinZip is very popular compression and archive utility .

COMPUTER NETWORKINGLAN ( LOCAL AREA NETWORK )
MAN ( METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK )
WAN ( WIDE AREA NETWORK )
INTERNET
WIRED NETWORKING TECHNOLOGY
WIRELESS NETWORKING TECHNOLOGY
WI-FI TECHNOLOGY 17
LOCAL AREA NETWORK A local area network is a computer network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building using network media .
18
19
METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK
A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a computer network in which two or more computers or communicating devices or networks which are geographically separated but in same metropolitan city and are connected to each other are said to be connected on MAN.
20
WIDE AREA NETWORK
A wide area network (WAN) is a network that covers a broad area (i.e., any telecommunications network that links across metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries) using private or public network transports.
21
INTERNET The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve several billion users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies.

WIRED NETWORKING TECHNOLOGY
• Ethernet Twisted Pair
• Coaxial Cable
• Optic Fibre Cable
WIRED NETWORKING TECHNOLOGY media are classified based on the kind of materials used as :1. Ethernet Twisted Pair2. Coaxial Cable3. Optic Fibre Cable
24
WIRELESS NETWORKING TECHNOLOGY
Wireless or unguided media means that there is no physical path for the signal to move. Hence communication or transmission is wireless. For example :-
1. Bluetooth
2. Infrared
3. Wi-Fi
25
WI-FI TECHNOLOGY
WI-FI is a popular
technology that allows an
electronic device to
exchange data wirelessly
over a computer network.
Wi-Fi is an abbreviation
for wireless fidelity
known as 802.11 wireless
network.

INFORMATION PROCESSING TOOLS• OPERATING SYSTEM
• INTRODUCTION TO WINDOWS
• WORD PROCESSING TOOL
• PRESENTATION TOOL
• SPREADSHEET TOOL
27
OPERATING SYSTEMAn operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system.For example: MAC OSLINUXUNIX
28
INTRODUCTION TO WINDOWS
Microsoft Windows is a series of graphical interface operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Microsoft.Microsoft introduced an operating environment named Windows on November 20, 1985 as a graphical operating system shell for MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in graphical user interfaces (GUI).Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal computer market with over 90% market share, overtaking MAC OS , which had been introduced in 1984.
29
WORD PROCESSING TOOLS
A word processor is an electronic
device or computer software
application that, as directed by the
user, performs word processing: the
composition, editing, formatting and
sometimes printing of any sort of
written material. Word processing
can also refer to
advanced shorthand techniques,
sometimes used in specialized
contexts with a specially
modified typewriter. The term was
coined at IBM's Boblingen , West
Germany Laboratory in the 1960s.
30
PRESENTATION TOOLA type of business software that enables users to create highly stylized images for slide shows and reports. The software includes functions for creating various types of charts and graphs and for inserting text in a variety of fonts. Most systems enable you to import data from a spreadsheet application to create the charts and graphs.Presentation graphics is often called business graphics.
31
SPREADSHEET TOOL
A file in MS EXCEL is called as
spreadsheet.
A spreadsheet is an interactive computer
application program for organization and
analysis of data in tabular form.
Spreadsheets developed as
computerized simulations of paper
accounting worksheets.
