Monitor

This is sometimes called the screen or the VDU; it is the main way of getting the processed data out of the computer. These monitors come in different shapes and sizes.

  This is a CRT monitor. It uses a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) which contains an electron gun.
The most common size is the 14-inch monitor and the size of the monitor is measured diagonally. 
Although they come in different capabilities in terms of colour output their function is still the same to display information to the user.
The normal PC monitor uses a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) which contains an electron gun. This shoots a stream of electrons onto a screen coated with a phosphorescent substance.  
 
There are control buttons on the monitor that the user can use to adjust the size, brightness and position of the display area. There is also a power button to turn the monitor on and off. There is a light next to the power button to indicate the status of the monitor, whether on or off.
You should note that switching off the monitor will not affect your information.
The monitor works with a video card, located inside the computer case, to display images and text on the screen. 
The two main types are: cathode ray tube (CRT) and liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors.


The CRT monitor is big, like a tube television, and takes up a lot of desk space; however, it is the least expensive monitor option. The LCD monitor is thin and saves energy, but costs more. Over the years you can expect to see fewer CRT monitors as LCD monitors become the standard. 


 
Your monitor has an on/off button and control buttons that allow you to change your monitor's display. Control buttons are either visible or located behind a small panel. Additionally, some monitors have built-in speakers. 
 
Whenever you shut down your computer remember also to switch off the monitor.  
The CPU can run continuously for days because it has got an in-built fan but the monitor needs to be switched off because of the absence of the in-built fan and can become hot after some time.

Pen Input

Image
With pen input , users write, draw, and tap on a flat surface to enter input. The surface may be a monitor, a screen, a special type of paper, or a graphics tablet.  A light pen is handheld input device that can detect the presence of light. To select objects on the screen, a user presses the light pen against the surface of the screen or points the light at the screen and then presses a button on the pen.  A stylus is a small metal or plastic device that looks like a tiny ink pen but uses pressure instead of ink.   Some mobile computers and nearly all mobile devices have touch screens that recognize pen input. Most of these devices include a pressuresensitive digital pen or stylus. Pressure-sensitive digital pens typically provide more functionality than a stylus, featuring electronic erasers and programmable buttons. Computers and mobile devices often use handwriting recognition software that translates the handwritten lett...

Laptop, Tablets and Palmtop Computers

Image
The second type of computer that you may be familiar with is a laptop computer. Laptops are battery or AC-powered personal computers that can be easily carried and used in a variety of locations be a car, a taxi or airjet.    Example Laptop Computer The primary benefit of a laptop computer is its small size and easy portability . They use special screens, rather than the traditional bulky VDUs (Visual Display Units), which allows for longer battery life as well as portability. A laptop computer is sometimes called a notebook computer because of its size. Notebooks and Palmtop computers A newer term, “Notebooks”, simply indicates a VERY small laptop. These are especially popular with salespersons on the move or people giving presentations. While they tend to still be more expensive than an equivalent Desktop computer, they can now match the power of a Desktop computer. Palmtops are even smaller computers which can literally...

Measuring Memory

Image
Information is stored in the form of bytes.   A byte is a unit of memory in a computer and this byte represents either a character e.g. B or two digits e.g. 12.   These bytes are formed from bits.   Bits, or Binary Digits, may have one of two values.   These are represented by 0 or 1, true or false, but will actually be the presence or absence of magnetisation. Relationship between Bits, Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes and Gigabytes A Bit is the smallest element of data storage.   Bits grouped together form bytes.   With the ASCII code a combination of 8 bits form 1 byte.   For example when you type a letter ‘a’ the computer will understand that as a combination of zeros and ones e.g. 01100001.   The following indicates the relationship between different data units 8 bits = 1 byte 1024 (2 10 ) bytes = 1 Kilobyte 1 048 576 (2 20 ) bytes = 1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte 1 073 741 824 bytes = 1024 Megabytes = 1 G...
