2. TYPES OF SOFTWARE

3. TYPES OF SOFTWARE 1. SYSTEM SOFTWARE 2. APPLICATION SOFTWARE 3. DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE 4. FIRMWARE

4. 1. SYSTEM SOFTWARE A. Operating Systems (OS) : Manages computer hardware and software resources (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux). B. Utility Software : Helps maintain and optimize the system (e.g., antivirus software, disk management tools). C. Device Drivers : Enable hardware components to work with the operating system (e.g., printer drivers, graphics card drivers).

5. 2. APPLICATION SOFTWARE A. Productivity Software : Used for creating documents, presentations, and managing data (e.g., Microsoft Office, Google Docs). B. Multimedia Software : Used for creating, editing, and playing audio, video, and images (e.g., Adobe Photoshop, VLC Media Player). C. Web Browsers : Software used to access and navigate the internet (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox). D. Games : Entertainment software designed for gaming (e.g., Fortnite, Minecraft). E. Educational Software : Used for learning or teaching purposes (e.g., Khan Academy, Duolingo).

6. 3. DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE A. Programming Languages : Tools used for writing software programs (e.g., Python, Java, C++). B. Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) : Provide a platform for developers to write and test code (e.g., Visual Studio, Eclipse). C. Database Management Software (DBMS) : Manages data storage and retrieval (e.g., MySQL, Oracle).

7. 4. FIRMWARE A. Embedded Software : Special software stored in hardware devices to control them (e.g., software in washing machines, cameras, or smart thermostats).

8. BASIC COMPUTER OPERATIONS

9. BASIC COMPUTER OPERATIONS 1. Booting up:  This is the process of starting up the computer by loading the operating system (OS) into memory. The computer runs a series of checks to ensure all hardware is working correctly before loading the OS. 2. Logging in:  After booting up, you will need to log in to access your user account. This requires entering your username and password. 3. Running programs:  Once you have logged in, you can run programs on your computer. Programs can include web browsers, office applications, media players, and more.

10. BASIC COMPUTER OPERATIONS 4. Accessing data:  You can access data stored on your computer or other connected devices, such as external hard drives or cloud storage services. This can include files, documents, photos, and other media. 5. Connecting to the internet: You can connect to the internet to access websites, download files, and communicate with others online. This typically involves using a web browser to access websites and other online services.   6. Communicating with other devices:  You can communicate with other devices connected to your computer, such as printers, scanners, or other peripherals. This allows you to print documents, scan images, and perform other tasks.

11. BASIC COMPUTER OPERATIONS 7. Saving and backing up data:  It's important to save and back up your data regularly to avoid data loss. You can save data to your local hard drive, external hard drives, or cloud storage services. 8. Shutting down:  When you're finished using your computer, you should shut it down properly. This involves closing all programs and files, saving any changes, and shutting down the OS.

12. BASIC COMPUTER OPERATIONS 9. Troubleshooting:  If you experience issues with your computer, you may need to troubleshoot the problem. This can involve diagnosing hardware or software issues, performing updates, or reinstalling drivers. 10. Security:  It's important to keep your computer secure by using antivirus software, firewalls, and other security measures. This helps protect your data and prevent unauthorized access to your system.

13. ISSUES OF BASIC COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER OPERATIONS

14. ISSUES OF BASIC COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER OPERATIONS 1. Slow performance:  Computers can become slow and unresponsive due to a variety of factors, such as lack of storage space, outdated hardware, or malware. 2. Malware and viruses:  Malware and viruses can infect computers and cause a range of problems, including data loss, system crashes, and identity theft.

15. ISSUES OF BASIC COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER OPERATIONS 3. Hardware failures : Computer hardware components can fail over time, leading to issues like system crashes, data loss, and display problems. 4. Software glitches:  Software applications can sometimes malfunction or crash, leading to issues like data loss or unresponsive programs.

16. ISSUES OF BASIC COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER OPERATIONS 5. Driver problems:  Drivers are software components that enable hardware devices to communicate with the operating system. If drivers become outdated or corrupted, it can lead to issues like hardware failures or system crashes. 6. Compatibility issues:  Sometimes software applications or hardware components may not be compatible with each other, leading to issues like system crashes or display problems.

17. ISSUES OF BASIC COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER OPERATIONS 7. Internet connectivity issues : Problems with internet connectivity can lead to issues like slow loading web pages, interrupted downloads, and difficulty accessing online services. 8. User error:  Users can sometimes make mistakes or accidentally delete files or programs, leading to issues like data loss or unresponsive programs.

18. WHAT IS A COMPUTER MOUSE?

19. WHAT IS A COMPUTER MOUSE? A  computer mouse  is a handheld hardware  input device  that controls a  cursor  in a  GUI  (Graphical User Interface) for pointing, moving and selecting  text ,  icons ,  files , and  folders  on your computer. In addition to these functions, a mouse can also be used to  drag-and-drop  objects and give you access to the  right-click  menu.

20. WHAT ARE THE USES OF A COMPUTER MOUSE?

21. USES OF COMPUTER MOUSE? 1. Move the mouse cursor  - The primary function is to move the  mouse pointer  on the screen. 2. Point  - Once the mouse is moved, you can point something out for another user or point a digital object. For example, in a game you can use the mouse to point a gun in the direction to shoot. 3. Open or execute a program  - Once you've moved the pointer to an icon, folder, or another object  clicking  or  double-clicking  that object opens the  document  or  executes  the  program . Some programs even support tripple -clicking. See our  click  page for further information on mouse clicking.

22. USES OF COMPUTER MOUSE? 4. Select  - A mouse also lets you  select  text or a file or  highlight  and select multiple files at once. 5. Drag-and-drop  - Once something is selected, it can also be moved using the  drag-and-drop  method. 6. Hover  - Moving the mouse cursor over objects with  hover  information helps discover each object's function. For example, hover the mouse over the "hover" link to see an example.

23. USES OF COMPUTER MOUSE? 7. Scroll  - When working with a long document or viewing a long  web page , you may need to  scroll  up or down. To scroll, rotate the  mouse wheel , or  click-and-drag  the  scroll bar . The mouse wheel can also be used as a button. See the  IntelliMouse  page for further information and functions of the mouse wheel. 8. Perform other functions  - Many desktop mice also have buttons that can be programmed to perform any function. For example, many mice have two side buttons on the thumb portion of the mouse. The button closest to the palm can be programmed to go back to the previously viewed web page in a  browser .
