WHAT IS ICT?

"ICT" stands for Information and

Communication Technology. This is
a general term that describes the
use of digital technology to access,
store, and process information in
order to transform information into
understandable and orderly form.
Most computer equipment or
programs that create, store or use
digital information can be
considered part of an ICT system.
This system extends from laptops,
smartphones to large-scale
networks and infrastructure to
support businesses and
corporations.
WHAT IS ICT?

 ICT is often considered an extended synonym for information technology

(IT), its scope is more broad.
 ICT has more recently been used to describe the convergence of several
technologies and the use of common transmission lines carrying very
diverse data and communication types and formats.

CU

- This part of the of the CPU is the one that is in charge of all the operations
being carried out.

- It is responsible to direct the system to execute instructions.

- It helps in communication between the memory and the arithmetic logical

unit.

- It also aids in the loading of data and instructions residing in the secondary
memory to the main memory as required.
ALU

- The ALU is responsible for performing all logical and arithmetic operations.

- Some of the arithmetic operations are as follows: addition, subtraction,

multiplication and division.

- Some of the logical operations are as follows: comparison between

numbers, letter and or special characters.

- The ALU is also responsible for the following conditions: Equal-to conditions,
Less-than condition and greater than condition.

COMPUTER SOFTWARE
SOFTWARE CLASSIFICATIONS

Software Software
SYSTEM SOFTWARE

 A system software aids the user and the hardware to function and interact
with each other. Basically, it is a software to manage computer hardware
behavior so as to provide basic functionalities that are required by the user.
In simple words, we can say that system software is an intermediator or a
middle layer between the user and the hardware. These computer software
sanction a platform or environment for the other software to work in.
 When you first turn on the computer, it is the system software that gets
initialized and gets loaded in the memory of the system. The system
software runs in the background and is not used by the end-users. This is
the reason why system software is also known as ‘low-level software’.
SYSTEM SOFTWARE

 Operating System Software

 It is the most prominent example of System Software. It is a collection of
software that handles resources and provides general services for the
other applications that run over them. Although each Operating System is
different, most of them provide a Graphical User Interface through which a
user can manage the files and folders and perform other tasks.
SYSTEM SOFTWARE

 Device Driver
 It is a type of software that controls particular hardware which is attached
to the system. Hardware devices that need a driver to connect to a system
include displays, sound cards, printers, mice and hard disks.
 Motherboard Drivers
 Printer Drivers
 ROM Drivers
 USB Drivers
SYSTEM SOFTWARE

 Programming Language Translators

 These are mediator programs on which software programs rely to translate
high-level language code to simpler machine-level code.
 Examples of Programming Language Translators are Interpreter and
Compiler
SYSTEM SOFTWARE

 Utility
 Utility software is designed to aid in analyzing, optimizing, configuring and
maintaining a computer system. It supports the computer infrastructure.
This software focuses on how an OS functions and then accordingly it
decides its trajectory to smoothen the functioning of the system.
 Softwares like antiviruses, disk cleanup & management tools, compression
tools, WinRAR, WinZip
APPLICATION SOFTWARE

 Application software also known as end-user programs or productivity

programs are software that helps the user in completing tasks such as
doing online research, jotting down notes, setting an alarm, designing
graphics, keeping an account log, doing calculations or even playing
games. They lie above the system software. Unlike system software, they
are used by the end-user and are specific in their functionality or tasks and
do the job that they are designed to do.
