I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

This module deals with the type of computers. All the computers that are developed are
not alike rather they have different designs and features. Some computers have very high capacity
as well as working speed; however, some are slow. Depending upon the requirements, computers
are being developed.

II. LEARNING COMPETENCIES

LO.1 Assemble computer hardware (TLE_IACSS9-12ICCS-Ia-e-28)

1.2 Prepare unit assembly to ensure OHS policies and procedures are followed in accordance
with systems requirements
1.3 Identify materials necessary to complete the work in accordance with established
procedures and check against system requirements

Objectives:
1. Identify the types of Computer.
2. Classify the different types of Computer.
3. Recognize the importance of knowing the different types of Computer.

III. ACTIVITIES

A. LESSON INFORMATION

Types of Computer

A. According to Technology
1. Analog Computer – This computer recognize data as a continuous measurement of a
physical property (voltage, speed and temperature) Example: Automobile speedometer.
2. Digital Computers - These are high speed programmable electronic devices that
perform mathematical Calculations, compare values and store result. They recognize data
by counting discrete signal representing either a high and low voltage state electricity.
3. Hybrid Computers – computer that processes both analog and digital data.

B. According to Purpose
1. General Purpose Computer- General Purpose Computer is a machine that is capable
of carrying out some single data processing under program control. Refers to computers
that follow instruction thus virtually all computers from micro to mainframe are general
purpose.

TLE-CSS_Grade9_Q1_LAS2
 2. Special Purpose Computer - A computer that is designed to operate on a restricted
class of problems. Use special purpose computer equipment to obtain patient diagnostic
information.

C. According to Size
1. PC (Personal Computer) - A PC can be defined as a small, relatively inexpensive
computer designed for an individual user. PCs are based on the microprocessor
technology that enables manufacturers to put an entire CPU on one chip. Businesses use
personal computers for word processing, accounting, desktop publishing, and for running
spreadsheet and database management applications. At home, the most popular use for
personal computers is playing games and surfing Internet.
2. Workstations - generally come with a large, high-resolution graphics screen, large
amount of RAM, inbuilt network support, and a graphical user interface. Most workstations
also have a mass storage device such as a disk drive, but a special type of workstation,
called a diskless workstation, comes without a disk drive.
3. Minicomputer It is a midsize multi-processing system capable of supporting up to 250
users simultaneously

4. Mainframe - Mainframe is very large in size and is an expensive computer capable of

supporting hundreds or even thousands of users simultaneously. Mainframe executes
many programs concurrently and supports many simultaneous execution of programs.
5. Supercomputer - Supercomputers are one of the fastest computers currently available.
Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized applications that
require immense amount of mathematical calculations (number crunching). For example,
weather forecasting, scientific simulations, (animated) graphics, fluid dynamic
calculations, nuclear energy research, electronic design, and analysis of geological data
(e.g. in petrochemical prospecting
