PrefaceKopyKitabInformation Technology (IT) is currently a major industry in our country. The software servicesindustry employed three million professionals with revenue of around 100 billion dollars duringthe financial year 2011–2012. Every day a large number of advertisements appear in newspapersfor the employment of Information Technology professionals and also for persons in otherprofessions who have a good knowledge of IT. A decision has been taken by many universitiesto introduce IT as a compulsory subject for all undergraduate students. In today’s world, theknowledge of Information Technology is essential. Thus, it is necessary for all students to beconversant with IT and its applications. The main objective of the book is to introduce IT ina simple language to all undergraduate students, regardless of their specialization.Information Technology is a rapidly changing technology. In a university degreeprogramme, it is important to emphasize the stable fundamental ideas on which this technologyis built. The attempt of this book is to take this approach and not to emphasize the routineoperation of computers, which is the approach taken in many user-oriented books. This bookexplains why some parts of computers are designed the way they are and how they work. Italso describes a number of important applications of computers which are widely used and thefundamental ideas used in designing these applications.Information Technology is primarily concerned with the acquisition, storage, processingand organization of data. It is also concerned with widely disseminating the organized andprocessed data for use by people and organizations. In the early days of IT, data mainly meantnumbers and text. This has changed now. Besides numbers and text, computers also processimage, audio and video data. Thus we need to understand how to acquire all these types ofdata, as well as how to organize, store, process, and disseminate them.The first edition of this book was written in 2003. It was widely used by students andwas reprinted 10 times. There have been many advances in Information Technology since2003. I decided to review the book and bring out a new edition incorporating these advances.I have revised every chapter and improved the presentation and added new sections whereverappropriate. The basic structure of this edition of the book has not changed as it was writtenemphasizing the fundamentals of Information Technology.This book is broadly organized into three parts. The first part consisting of Chapters 1–9primarily deals with the acquisition of numerical, textual, image, audio, and video data. InChapters 1–5, we describe the hardware devices used to acquire these types of data andthe methods of converting these data to binary form suitable for storage and processing bycomputers. In Chapters 6–9, we describe the units of a computer used to store, process, andxi
xii PrefaceKopyKitabdisseminate data. Our aim in these chapters is not to describe the hardware units in great detailbut to present the basic ideas used to design them. The second part consisting of Chapters 10–14is essentially related to software used to organize and process data. We describe in these fivechapters the basics of programming languages, operating systems, databases, spreadsheets, wordprocessors, and multimedia processing. The final part of this book consisting of Chapters 15–18presents major day-to-day applications of IT, including applications in business and commerce.In Chapter 15, we give a reasonably detailed account of the major applications of the Internet,such as email, file transfer, remote computing, search engines for locating information in theWorld Wide Web, and the use of the Internet for telephony and video conferencing. We describein Chapter 16 how businesses use computers for management. E-commerce is an applicationof IT which is profoundly affecting our daily life. Thus a chapter is devoted to describingit in detail. The last chapter is intended to bring awareness among students about the manyimportant changes which are occurring in our society due to the advent of IT. Applicationssuch as Facebook, Blogs, Twitter, and LinkedIn are now becoming commonplace and changinginterpersonal communications. We also discuss the various career opportunities which havearisen in IT enabled services.The book is written in a student-friendly style. Each chapter begins with a statement oflearning goals and ends with a summary of the main points presented in the chapter. Exercisesare given at the end of each chapter to assist students to reinforce their understanding of thecontents of the chapter. The index of the book is fairly detailed.I thank the following persons who helped me in writing the first edition of this book.Mr. N.R. Narayana Murthy, when he was the Chairman and the Chief Mentor of InfosysTechnologies Ltd., provided partial financial assistance; Prof. S.K. Nandy, my colleague in theSupercomputer Education and Research Centre, gave several suggestions; Ms. Padmaja read themanuscript and assisted in many ways; Ms. Udaya Neelakantan read the entire manuscript andgave valuable suggestions; Ms. T. Mallika word processed the manuscript and typed severaldrafts of both the first and the second edition.I gave the first edition of this book to Professor Hari Balakrishnan, Fujitsu Professor ofElectrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA,for his review and for suggesting improvements. In spite of his busy schedule, he meticulouslyread many chapters of the book and suggested several changes. I have incorporated most ofthem in this second edition. I thank him for his generous assistance.This book could not have been written without the enthusiasm and wholehearted support ofmy wife Dharma. She read the entire manuscript, gave suggestions for improvement, proofreadthe press copy meticulously and assisted me in several ways. I thank her sincerely.In spite of my best effort, there may still be some errors and some topics may notbe clearly explained. I welcome criticism and suggestions from my readers.

CHAPTER1Data and InformationAfter reading this chapter, you should be able to:1.1KitaExplain the difference between data and information.Classify different types of data which are processed by computers.Explain the functions of the units of a desktop computer.Describe how data is processed by a computer.py1.2.3.4.bLEARNING GOALSINTRODUCTIONKoInformation Technology (IT) may be defined as the technology that is used to acquire, store,organize, process, and disseminate processed data which can be used in specified applications.Information is processed data that improves our knowledge, enabling us to take decisions andinitiate actions.Example 1.1 Let us take a very simple example. A home-maker who buys vegetables,provisions, milk, etc., everyday would write in a diary the money spent on each of these (seeTable 1.1). At the end of each day she adds up the data on money spent for these items. Thetotal obtained is the information which she uses to adjust expenses to spend within her budget.This is illustrated in the block diagram of Fig. 1.1.FIG. 1.1Data and information.1
2 Introduction to Information TechnologyTable 1.1 Daily ExpensesDateExpenses in 03.1.2001ProvisionsMiscellaneousDaily 15.50:pyKitaObserve that data is the raw material with which she started, and information is processeddata that allows her to initiate action to balance her budget.The data entered in the diary each day may be processed in other ways too to obtaindifferent information. For example, if the total monthly expense on milk is divided by themonthly income, it gives information on the proportion of the budget spent on milk. This isshown in Fig. 1.2.Information as input data.KoFIG. 1.2This information may be useful to manage the family income in a more efficient manner.Observe that the information obtained in Fig. 1.1 is used as data in Fig. 1.2. This illustrates thatthe distinction between data and information is not always clear. The point to be emphasizedis that mere facts and figures about activities do not enable one to take decisions or to initiateactions. Only when they are processed and presented in an effective manner, they becomeuseful.Example 1.2 As an example of how organizing data enhances our understanding, let usconsider the marks obtained by students in an examination. The marks by themselves do notgive any immediate idea about the performance of the class. By processing this data, a bar chartmay be obtained, which gives the number of students with marks between 100 and 90, 90 and80, 80 and 70, and so on. This chart (Fig. 1.3) gives the teacher of the class information onthe performance of the class that would enable him or her to initiate appropriate action suchas which students need special attention.
