home and work, in our hands (tablets and pads), on our laps (laptops, notebooks), on our wrists (the Apple Watch), in large companies (supercomputers, servers, workstations). There are ten iterations of computer architecture as will be discussed in this lesson. They include the personal computer, the laptop, the desktop, notebook or tablet, handheld, mainframe, workstation, supercomputer, server, and most recently, the wearable computer. What makes each of these devices constitute a computer? How does a computer operate? What makes a computer a computer? This lesson identifies and explains what a computer is and how it operates. Continue with the lesson. CONTENT SUMMARY AND TEACHING STRATEGIES Objective 1: Identify the parts of the computer. Anticipated Problem: What are the parts of the computer? I. Just what is a computer? A computer is a device that allows you to put in data or information, processes the data for you, then puts out information in the form of an answer or solution to your data entered. Computers consist of hardware and software. The hardware of the computer is its’ physical and hard components, rather than the computer’s software which are the intangible instructions fed to the computer. For example, a keyboard, a monitor, or a disk drive is computer hardware; Microsoft Office Word, the Google search browser is representative of computer software. Computer programmers write the software instructions in computer languages that translate to electronic pulse patterns that travel along the circuitry board wiring from the monitor to the motherboard to the printer. These precise instructions are what drive the industry of computers in our lives today. A. When we type on the computer, we are using computer software output instructions that allow that. Once a computer program such as Microsoft Office Word is stored in the computer, and you click on its icon on the desktop screen, this software becomes physical electronic pulse patterns that show up on the visual displays or monitors. Amazing! Open a computer (one that is no longer in use, of course) and see that there are circuitry boards, all connecting each of the devices to allow us to use it, communicate with it. B. There are many types of computers in the world today. They affect our lives in a variety of ways. You may hear some refer to computers as PCs or personal computers. A personal computer is a computer that sits on top of a table or desk (a desktop) differentiated in earlier computing days as having its own operating system, small enough for office or home use by one person. Before the advent of the personal computer, mainframe computers existed. A mainframe Lesson: Fundamentals of Computer Architecture: Hardware Page 3 u www.MyCAERT.com Copyright by CAERT, Inc.

C. D. E. F. G. computer is a large computer system that processes huge amounts of data, used primarily by large corporations and the United States government. In many schools and businesses, workstation computers are desktop computers networked or connected to a mainframe or server computer, allowing each user at the terminal or workstation to access computer information stored on the mainframe or server. A server is a computer that allows or serves data between computers on a network. A supercomputer is a type of mainframe computing system, having the fastest processors of all computer types, capable of crunching lots of data at the fastest speeds. President Barack Obama in 2012 signed an executive order to establish the National Strategic Computing Initiative. This initiative, led by the Departments of Energy, Defense and the National Science Foundation, to build the world’s fastest supercomputer, faster than China’s Tianhe-2 supercomputer. Notebook computers are compact computers weighing less than six pounds and easily fit into a briefcase or bag. Tablets are even smaller laptop computers that use the computer’s screen as a touchscreen input device; a touchscreen allows the user to finger touch the screen to type or point to information on the computer. Touchscreen technology is on some handheld computers also. Handheld computers are cellphones that have computers inside them, also known as smartphones. Other handhelds are PDAs (personal digital assistants) storing information such as addresses and phone numbers, and small notebooks with touchscreens that require the use of a stylus pen for input, such as is used by FedEx or UPS services such as when a package is delivered and requires a signature. Wearables are computers worn strapped on the body, such as smart watches, fitness trackers, heart monitors, and thermometers. Whether it is an Apple watch, smartphone, desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or supercomputer, the basic architecture of a computer are its input, microprocessor and output devices. Information is input or put in the computer, manipulated by the microprocessor and output or put out of the computer, in a format that is useful to the computer user. The requested information may come out to the computer device’s screen or it may come out to a printer. There are many input devices used to get information inside the computer. These may come in the form of the mouse, touchpad on the laptop, the keyboard, touch screen, joystick, trackball, scanner, camera, microphone, or a thumb drive. The mouse input device resembles a mouse with a tail. The mouse tail connects to an input board via a port slot in the back or side of the computer and transmits clicks and points to the computer, such as when you point to a file folder on your Window’s desktop and click on it to open it. Even the wireless mouse without a tail connects to the computer transmitting points and clicks as RF or radio frequency waves. Some computer input devices come in the form of the navigation pad. A touchpad is that square-like area on a laptop computer right below the keyboard, that acts just like the mouse but allows you to use your finger as input to press, click, point and scroll. The keyboard, one of the earlier input devices for personal computers and laptops, is also used to type or key information in the computer for Lesson: Fundamentals of Computer Architecture: Hardware Page 4 u www.MyCAERT.com Copyright by CAERT, Inc.

processing, in a combination of letters and/or numbers, symbols, and special keys. Built-in keyboards are also located in computers such as smartphones and smart-TVS. H. Touch screens are devices that allow information to be put in the computer by touching the laptop, desktop, smartphone, iPad and other computer device screens; touching may be done with a finger, or special stick, or even another computer device, to receive the data. Joysticks are input devices that provide input movements like up, down, right, left, forward, backward when playing computer games. I. Thumb drives or flash drives operate as input devices when files on the drive are copied from it to the computer. A thumb drives is a portable device that fits in the computer’s USB or universal serial bus port, allowing for computer files to be copied, stored or output to it. When the thumb drive is placed in the USB port to retrieve a file, it then operates as a input device. Teaching Strategy: Many techniques can be used to help students master this objective. Display VM–A and VM–B. Have students create a padlet account at https://padlet.com and provide video, image or website examples of each of the key terms, along with a description or definition of each. See LS–A. Objective 2: Explain how a computer operates. Anticipated Problem: How does a computer operate? II. Once information inputs to the computer, what happens to it? Where does the information go, once inside the computer? The information transforms via electrical pulse patterns, into bit or binary digit language from the keyboard or input device, which matches up with the physical transportation of the information. Each pulse pattern represents a translated code of the inputted information. This information transports, via electrons to the brain of your computer called the motherboard or circuit board. Wiring or buses transmit the information to the microprocessor on the motherboard. Circuit boards have circuits or wiring, that carries the information in the form of bit or binary digit coded pulse patterns, from the keyboard to the motherboard, from the motherboard to the monitor or printer. The microprocessor is the central processing unit or CPU, sometimes referred to as the brain of the computer which handles calculations and information. All the microprocessor does is think! A. Once the microprocessor processes the information fed to it, the results of the information requested is pulsed via the electronic buses again. This pulsed information can now either be stored on a memory storage device such as a flash drive; the computer’s hard drive (may also be referred to as the C: drive); or in RAM or random-access memory which is temporary memory on your computer. The information requested processes into a readable language such as English and output to an output device.

B. Output devices are what make the current generation of the computer one that is useful to anyone. Output devices put powerful knowledge at the fingertips, eye level of anyone who can read a language such as English. Just as there are myriad input devices to get information into the computer for processing, there are many output devices. The job of the output device is to receive the processed data and put that data or information back into readable format, using a language that the computer user can understand. Examples of output devices are the computer monitor, all types of printers, plotter, any visual display unit such as on a smartphone or a fitness tracker. The most common output devices are printers which output information on paper. Inkjet printers use ink in cartridges to translate digital images to paper. Laser printers use a laser beam to translate digitally charged images to paper. The computer monitors and other visual display units convert processed data or information to dot matrix images, readable, viewable to the computer user in an understandable language such as English. Teaching Strategy: Many techniques can be used to help students master this objective. Display VM–C. Have students watch the video Computer Basics at parts-of-a-computer/1. See LS–A. Objective 3: Explain the purpose, operation and care of devices and components. Anticipated Problem: How can knowing the purpose, operation and care of computer devices enhance the computer user’s experience? III. We now know that the CPU or central processing unit is the most prominent computer device in a computer system, also known as the brain of the computer. The CPU drives the main purpose of the computer, that is, to receive information and know how to process that information and return a resulting answer to the computer user. For example, the CPU knows how to process math problems and algorithms given to it. Inside the CPU are circuitry wiring on boards or chips that can process the thinking information we send to it. It takes in the information, following commands given to it, manipulates that information, and sends the results back in readable output results. Knowing how the computer enhances our thinking world lives is important to the operation and care of computer devices and components, including input devices, output devices and hardware components inside the computer. A. We now know that input devices carry information from the computer user’s keying or typing, clicking, touching on those devices to get the data or information into the computer’s CPU for processing. How we care for those input devices is important to the most efficient use of a computer system. Care for the keyboard input device involves unplugging it from the computer from time to time and turning it upside down to shake out any debris or dust that may have accumulated between and under the keys. Wipe the keyboard down with a soft non-static cloth and alcohol. Keep food and liquids away from the keyboard, as once that gets inside, it may harden and short out the circuitry that is carrying the information Lesson: Fundamentals of Computer Architecture: Hardware Page 6 u www.MyCAERT.com Copyright by CAERT, Inc.

you type, to getting to the computer’s CPU. Spray canned air to remove dust particles. Care for the mouse input device may involve taking the trackball out and wiping it down with alcohol. Clean an optical mouse with alcohol, also. Clean and care for touchscreen input devices by using a lint-free cloth and water or alcohol to wipe down the device gently. Use the same process for cleaning smartphone and tablet screens. Clean as often as you can, as it has been researched that touchscreen input devices, especially the smartphone, may have as many germs on them as what you would find on a toilet seat! Suggestion is that you do not use your smartphone while using the bathroom amenities. B. Output devices such as the CRT or LCD monitors require proper use and care. Clean both types with a soft lint-free cloth. The CRT is made of glass, so use water to clean it. LCDs are made of special materials; clean those with a lint-free cloth. Clean printers with a cloth and alcohol. Use canned air to remove dust particles. C. Handle preventative care and maintenance for the computer housed inside a tower or laptop with canned air to remove dust from around the vent areas. Dust and heat are the physical computer’s worst enemies, as a collection of dust can cause the computer to overheat, especially when the fan clogs with dust, and the vent areas cover with dust. Be careful though, opening the computer components may require handling by a technician. If you open the computer components, first unplug from electrical outlets. Use canned air to remove dust from in and around the circuitry boards. D. There are ten ways to take good care of your computer devices and components. 1. Install anti-virus software to guard against computer virus attacks 2. Keep software updated, such as Microsoft Office, or Windows 10. Those updates contain fixes to software problems, as well as protection against virus attacks. 3. Back-up your files on external storage devices such as a flash drive, or a separate drive designed for backing up the entire computer. 4. Defrag your hard drive. That is, run a systems defragmentation tool that will delete unused spaces on your hard drive and re-arrange your files for faster access. 5. Delete old files that you are no longer using. There is usually a disk clean-up tool available in your systems tools to help get rid of temporary, unused files. 6. Always make sure your anti-virus software includes an activated firewall option against getting viruses from the Internet. 7. Remove external devices such as a flash drive safely. Most recent computers allow you to gently take the device out of the computer. Some computers have an eject feature for safely removing external devices. 8. Keep your computers clean, with a soft lint-free cloth; remove any dirt or dust. 9. If using a laptop, extend the life of the battery by unplugging the laptop, if the battery is charged 100%. 10. Use a surge protector to plug in your computers. This prevents voltage spikes that may short out or kill your computer.

Teaching Strategy: Many techniques can be used to help students master this objective. Display VM–D and VM–E. Have students create a padlet account at https://padlet.com and provide video, image or website examples of each of the key terms, along with a description or definition of each. See LS–A. Objective 4: Identify storage options. Anticipated Problem: What are the various types of storage options? IV. There are six popular types of storage options. The external hard drive, the SSD or solid state drive, network attached storage (NAS), USB or universal serial bus thumb or flash drive, CD/DVD or compact disc/digital video disc storage, and cloud storage. As shown in the table below, each option is recommended based on the type of computer used, and the amount of storage required. For every day computer users such as students, parents, teachers, and business workers, the thumb drive or flash drive seems to be the most used. Thumb drives or flash drives provide a portable back-up of files saved in more than one place, such as on the business computer at work or on the home computer. A flash drive allows for transport of data files, so that those files can be accessed on any laptop or desktop computer. A. If data files are larger than 64GB, then another back up device would need to be used such as a solid state drive or SSD. SSDs provide backup storage for 64GB to 256G of data. SSDs are also known as flash drives, due that the working inside parts are non-movable using integrated circuitry and computer chips to hold the data inside. Unlike SSDs, the other type of hard drive for storage are external hard drives. These have been around for many years. Its working parts consist of hard discs, a read/write head that scratches (saves) the data or information onto the discs. Think of an old record player that has an arm on it with a needle that ‘reads’ the music from the album disk or record.
