between the user and the computer. The input devices translate the information into a form understandable by the
computer.
Ex: Keyboard, Mouse, Scanner, Joystick, …, etc.
Central Processing Unit: CPU is considered as the brain of the computer. CPU performs all types ofdata processing
operations. It stores data, intermediate results, and instructions (program). It controls the operation of all parts of the
computer.
CPU itself has the following three components –

i) ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) :

This unit consists of two subsections namely, Arithmetic Section and Logical Section Arithmetic Section: Function
of arithmetic section is to perform arithmetic operations likeaddition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. All
complex operations are done bymaking repetitive use of the above operations.
Logical Section: Function of logic section is to perform logic operations such as comparing,selecting, matching, and
merging of data.

ii) Memory Unitor Storage Unit

This unit can store instructions, data, and intermediate results. This unit supplies informationto other units of the
computer when needed. It is also known as internal storage unit or the main memory or the primary storage or Random
Access Memory (RAM).
Its size affects speed, power, and capability. Primary memory and secondary memory are two types of memories in
the computer. Functions of the memory unit are −
▪ It stores all the data and the instructions required for processing.
▪ It stores intermediate results of processing.
▪ It stores the final results of processing before these results are released to an output device.

comparison to the CRT. You can hang them on walls or wear them on your wrists. Current uses of flat-panel displays
includecalculators, video games, monitors, laptop computer, and graphics display.

The flat-panel display is divided into two categories −

• Emissive Displays − Emissive displays are devices that convert electrical energyinto light. For example, plasma panel
and LED (Light-Emitting Diodes).
• Non-Emissive Displays − Non-emissive displays use optical effects to convert sunlight or light from some other source
into graphics patterns. For example, LCD(Liquid-Crystal Device).
LCD Monitor: Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitors are flat panel displays that occupies lessspace. They are preferred
over CRT monitor because they are light weight and consume less power. They produces flicker-free images on the screen
so as to minimize the eye strain by drawing the entire image at one time. They can be used in small devices such as laptops,
calculators, watches, microwave ovens and so on.

LED Monitor: Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a flat panel display that uses a grid (matrix) of diodes representing the pixel
positions in the display, LED displays are very much similar to LCD displays with only a difference of light source which
is present at the back of the screen. Itconsist of small semiconductors (light emitting diodes) that illuminates the display
when it is exposed to electric current. It produces better quality picture than LCD. It is light weight and has longer life span.
However, the LED light used in this display is much more efficient than thetraditional lights like incandescent light and
fluorescent light. But the cost of LED is twice of a standard LCD. It is used in applications such as billboards, signs on
public transparent vehicles, display boards for displaying information at hospitals, hotels, schools and so on.

1Q) WHAT IS SPREAD SHEET (WORK SHEET) ? WRITE A NOTE ON BASICS OFSPREAD
SHEET?
Excel is a spreadsheet program in the Microsoft Office system. You can use Excel to create and format
workbooks (a collection of spreadsheets) in order to analyze data and make more informed business decisions.
Specifically, you can use Excel to track data, build models for analyzing data, write formulas to perform
calculations on that data, pivot the data in numerousways, and present data in a variety of professional
looking charts.

Features of M S EXCEL:
In the Microsoft office package, all the applications have their own dedicated features, thesefeatures help the
user to work with the applications smoothly and they also resemble the importanceof the application.

1. Workbook (Worksheets): Excel provides a workbook which contains worksheets. These worksheets
contain cells (combination of rows and columns) where the user can enter the data in an order of row wise or
column wise. These worksheets make the data look more uniform andattractive. User can create add desired
number of worksheets in desired number of workbooks as per the requirement.

2. Normal and Page break view: We are provided with two types of views in excel, normal view is used to
view the worksheet in a normal way, simply it means the worksheet will appear witha default zoom level and
default cell sizes. Page break view will provide an opportunity to set the page breaks as desired by the user.

3. Chart Wizard: Chart wizard feature enables the user to insert a chart on the worksheet. With this feature
we can create a chart on our own as per the data in the worksheet.

4. Function: This feature provides us with predefined formulas that perform calculations by using specific
values, called arguments, in a particular order, or structure. They can be used to perform simple or complex
calculations.

5. Picture: This feature enables the user to insert pictures from clipart, from file and from scanner or camera
onto the worksheet. With this feature we can also insert AutoShapes, WordArt and Organization Chart.
6. Diagram: This diagram feature is used to create an organization chart, Cycle diagram, Radical diagram,
Pyramid diagram, Target diagram, Venn diagram. This feature will help to make the worksheet more attractable
and the details in the diagrams more understandable.

7. Symbol: This will help the user to insert symbol like custom numbers, Wingdings, etc., and also insert
special characters on the sheet.

8. Comments: By using this feature the user can add comments to a cell in the worksheet and the user can
also see the name of a person who had given the comment.

ACTIVE CELL : When you click on a cell in Excel, the active cell is identified by its black outline. You enter
data into the active cell. To move to another cell and make it active, click on it with the mouse or use the arrow
keys on the keyboard.

FILE TAB: The File tab is new to Excel 2010. It is a replacement for the Office Button in Excel 2007, which was
a replacement for the file menu in earlier versions of Excel. The File tab options are mostly related to file
management such as opening new or existing worksheet files, saving, printing, and a new feature saving and sending
Excel files in PDF format.

FORMULA BAR: The formula bar is located above the worksheet, this area displays the contents of the active
cell. It can also be used for entering or editing data and formulas.

NAME BOX: Located next to the formula bar, the Name Box displays the cell reference or the name of the active
cell.

COLUMN LETTERS : Columns run vertically on a worksheet, and each one is identified by a letter in the column
heading.

ROW NUMBERS : Rows run horizontally in a worksheet and are identified by a number inthe row
heading.

CELL : Cells are the rectangular boxes located in central area of a worksheet. Data entered into a worksheet is
stored in a cell. Each cell can hold only one piece of data at a time. A cell is the intersection point of a vertical
column and a horizontal row. Each cell in the worksheet can be identified by a cell reference, this is combination
of letters and numbers such as A1, F456, or AA34.SHEET TABS : By default, there are three worksheets in an
Excel file, although there can be more.The tab at the bottom of a worksheet tells you the name of the worksheet,
such as Sheet1 or Sheet2. Switch between worksheets by clicking on the tab of the sheet you want to access
 35

made up of discrete values like =6*3.
=A2 * D2 / 2

• "=" tells Excel that this is a formula, and it should evaluate it.
• "A2" * D2" makes reference to cell addresses A2 and D2 then multiplies the values found in these cell
addresses.
• "/" is the division arithmetic operator
• "2" is a discrete value

FUNCTION:- FUNCTION IN EXCEL is a predefined formula that is used for specific values in a particular order.
Function is used for quick tasks like finding the sum, count, average, maximum value, and minimum values for a
range of cells. For example, cell A3 below contains the SUM function which calculates the sum of the range A1:A2.

• SUM for summation of a range of numbers

• AVERAGE for calculating the average of a given range of numbers

15Q) EXPLAIN THE CONCEPTS OF INTERNET?

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks. It is a network of networks that consists of
private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local toglobal scope, linked by a broad array of
electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information
resources and services, such as the inter- linked documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW),
electronic mail, telephony, and networks for file sharing.

BASIC SERVICES OF THE INTERNET:

Electronic Mail (e-mail): Allows user to send a mail (message) to another Internet user in any partof the world in
a near-real-time manner
§ File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Allows user to move a file from one computer to another on theInternet
§ Telnet: Allows user to log in to another computer somewhere on the Internet
§ Usenet News: Allows group of users to exchange their views/ideas/information

E-MAIL
E-mail is a rapid and productive communication tool because:
§ Faster than paper mail
§ Unlike telephone, the persons communicating with each other need not be available at the sametime
§ Unlike fax documents, e-mail documents can be stored in a computer and be easily edited usingediting programs

FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL
Moving a file from a remote computer to ones own computer is known as downloading
Moving a file from ones own computer to a remote computer is known as uploading

INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER:

An Internet service provider (ISP) is an organization that provides services for accessing andusing the
Internet. Internet service providers may be organized in various forms, such as commercial, community-
owned, non-profit, or otherwise privately owned.
Internet services typically provided by ISPs include Internet access, Internet transit, domain name registration, web
hosting, Usenet service, and location.

Privacy and security

Most browsers support HTTP Secure and offer quick and easy ways to delete the web cache,download history,
form and search history, cookies, and browsing history.

World Wide Web

Internet and World Wide Web are not synonymous. The World Wide Web is the primary applicationthat billions of
people use on the Internet. However, the Internet provides many other services. The Web is a global set of documents,
images and other resources, logically interrelated. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the main access protocol of
the World Wide Web. Web services also use HTTP to allow software systems to communicate in order to share and
exchange business logic and data.
World Wide Web browser software, such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla
Firefox, Opera, Apple's Safari, and Google Chrome, lets users navigate from one web page to another via hyperlinks
embedded in the documents. These documents may also contain any combination of computer data, including
graphics, sounds, text, video, multimedia and interactivecontent that runs while the user is interacting with the page.

BROWSING
Browsing is a kind of orienting strategy. It is supposed to identify something of relevance for thebrowsing organism.
It is used, for example, about people browsing open shelves in libraries or browsing databases or the Internet. In
library and information science it is an important subject, both purely theoretically and as applied science aiming at
designing interfaces which support browsing activities for the user.

WEB BROWSER
A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and
traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform
Resource Identifier (URI/URL) and may be a web page, image,video or other piece of content.
The first web browser was invented in 1990 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Berners-Lee is the director ofthe World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C). His browser was called World Wide Web and later renamed Nexus. Microsoft responded
with its Internet Explorer in 1995.
The popular web browsers are
➢ Internet explorer
➢ Mozilla fire fox
➢ Google chrome
➢ Opera
➢ Safari
Services Available On Internet
➢ www: already discussed in the above part
➢ Communication:

Email is an important communications service available on the Internet. The concept of sending electronic text
messages between parties in a way analogous to mailing letters or memos predates the creation of the Internet.
Pictures, documents, and other files are sent as email attachments.Emails can be sent to multiple email addresses.

Internet telephony is another common communications service made possible by the creation of the Internet.
VoIP stands for Voice-over-Internet Protocol, referring to the protocol that underlies all Internet
communication. The idea began in the early 1990s with walkie-talkie-like voice applications for personal
computers. In recent years many VoIP systems have become as easy to useand as convenient as a normal
telephone.

➢ Data transfer:
File sharing is an example of transferring large amounts of data across the Internet. A computer file can
be emailed to customers, colleagues and friends as an attachment. It can be uploaded to awebsite or File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) server for easy download by others. It can be put into a "shared location" or onto
a file server for instant use by colleagues.

USES OF INTERNET
§ On-line communication
§ Software sharing
§ Exchange of views on topics of common interest
§ Posting of information of general interest
§ Product promotion
§ Feedback about products
§ Customer support service
§ On-line journals and magazines
§ On-line shopping
§ World-wide video conferencing
