Lesson 1: Being a Digital Citizen Flashcards
A machine that allows a user to perform calculations or computations
Computers
What makes a computer, a computer?
- Input
- Output
- Processing
- Storage
- Programmability
Receives data (keyboard, mouse, camera)
Input
Displays or produces information (monitor, printer, speakers)
Output
Manipulates data (CPU)
Processing
Saves data for later use (hard drive, SSD)
Storage
Can be instructed to perform tasks (software, algorithm, logic)
Programmability
Computers in Academic Use
- To check Learning Management Systems (Blackboard Learn)
- To read reference material
- To communicate with peers or mentors
- To write academic or scholarly materials
Computers in Proffesional Use
- Use spreadsheet for budget tracking + performing other heavy-duty computations
- Transfer information from one location to another
- Conduct virtual meetings with clients and other stakeholders
Computers in Society
- Weather Forecasting
- Banking and Finance
- Accessing Information
- Job Search
- Entertainment/Gaming
- Accessibility for PWD
- Healthcare and Public Safety
