MY THIRD CLASS :))

Assalamualaikum. Yesterday I was learnt about history of the computer. From this lesson I knew who was invented the computer. There were three people who invented the computer which are Blaise Pascal, Gottfried Leibniz and Joseph-Marie Jacquard. Other than that, from what I learnt there were 5 generation of computer and has divided into two group which are high level and low level. For the first generation ( ENIAC and UNIVAC) and second generation ( transistor) as low level language. While the rest until fifth generation used higher level language. For the extra information I got, Steve Job was a founder of APPLE company which are very popular devices nowadays. For sum up about the generation of computer, the newest model is the best and have the high quality. The latest one is more application and uses that we can apply. For example, the fifth generation computer based on artificial intelligence which are the system can think and learn.

For topic computer architecture quite difficult for me because I cannot see the concept. But I try to understand as I can. For the meaning of each component make me able to understand more the process in CPU( central Processing Units). Besides, I have learnt about Categories of computer. In this part I have learnt before when my first trimester. It was quite easy to memorize and understand. There are such as embedded computer, devices computer, midrange computer and others. Each of them have their own special characteristics and the most people nowadays use in my opinion is devices computer, mobile computer and personal computer.

In addition, what is storage? from my understanding, storage is the place where can put our data or back up our data and files there. Such as Hard Disk, Pen drive, CD, and Diskette.
In this week also we learnt types of software more deeply. Even though to understand about software quite difficult, but after learnt this I can see the concept and process. For example, system software is about operation of the computer meanwhile application software is about the application we used in the computer such as game, Microsoft and programming language is enable the people to communicate or give instruction to the computer. Now I also know the most important software in all the system there is OPERATING SYSTEM( PLATFORM PROGRAMME). For Control Unit  function, it will supervise or coordinate all the activities inside the CPU. From what I see in Program Development Process, I could see the types of level language. It was quite interesting and logical for me. thats all for this week. :)

MY SECOND CLASS :D

Assalamualaikum. Now we already in week 2.. my lecturer already started teaching from topic 1. first of all, we introduced by the lecturer about learning outcome and teaching and learning method such as face to face, group discussion and many more. In this week, the topic is about computer, hardware and software. It was quiet easy for me because I have learnt before. computer is a programmable device. We also learnt about computer operation. which are from input to process to output to storage and lastly is communication. Computer also have their own characteristic such as speed, reliability, storage and many more. From my understanding, this operation is a electronic process in computer system for each things that we put in computer. Other than that, we also learnt about computer hardware and software.






This is the example of computer hardware. Hardware is a series of related instructions, organized for a common purpose. hardware also consist 5 part which are output, input, communication, storage devices and system unit.
The picture above is example of software. 

Other than that, now I knew how computer represent data. I also learnt about how to count number system. There are four types of number system such as decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems. In this part, we learnt how to convert from another number system to another number system. It was quite easy because Mr Azam taught us wisely until all students understand. That is all me and my friends were learning in this week. I hope the chapter after this will more easy. :)

It was quite interesting but shy. after that, the lecturer just introduced about this course and the assignments that I will do later. while we overview the course, we have told about assignment mark. It quite easy but afraid of losing mark. In the evening class, Mr Azam asked us to write short essay about "My level of knowlegde in ICT". The key point   of this essay already given such as since when we know about computer, what is the software that we always use, our favourite webpage and many more. We have to submit it. If we compare my essay and with my friends, my essay quite short because I think I should not tell everything detail. I just follow the key point. I hope my essay will satisfied my lecturer.

COMPUTER N INTERNET :))



Assalamualaikum.. My name is Umie Nadia Mohd Jaafar. Im from Johor Bahru, Johor. This is my first entry for subject computer and Internet. I am taking this subject in this trimester as my last subject for foundation study. For the first time I entered computer and internet class, i felt little bit afraid of my lecturer. I do not know why. I started learn properly about computer since I was in form 4. My school decided for me what subject I have to take.. In my school if we get below 5A in PMR, can not take biology subject, that is why I have to take ICT subject. I had to learn about Introduction of communication technology and basic of programming.  First time I felt that subject was very difficult to score. But so far in exam I only got A or B. Since that I excited to learn more about computer until I entered this University. I hope I could do well in what ever IT subject even many things that I already learnt in high school I already forgot. :) Last but not least, Insyaa Allah I will score better in Computer and Internet course.
