Only a few decades separate us from the time when electronic computers occupied entire halls, and the people who worked for them were considered almost geniuses. How could you not get confused in hundreds of thousands of wires and terminals ?! Then none of us could have thought that some twenty years would pass and computers would become personal, that they would appear in our house and, moreover, would become an integral part of our life. The number of computer users is growing day by day. Of course, none of them pretend to be a software engineer, but everyone in whose house a personal computer "lives" certainly does not consider himself an amateur in relation to his electronic friend.
Yes, indeed, for many, a computer is a reliable friend. With its help, people at a rapid pace learn the world around them, gain knowledge, and reach new heights. For some, a computer has become simply necessary as a working tool. Life has brought you and me to such a simple conclusion: if we want to realize ourselves fully, we must own computer literacy... Lack of skills computer user is often perceived as a disadvantage. Although voices are increasingly heard comparing the computer to trojan horse... They argue that a person is simply not able to assess the danger posed by computerization, that he cannot take into account the incredible speed of technological improvement of machines. For example, in Japan there is already a computer that is capable of performing 300 billion operations per second, and very soon a machine with a speed of 1 trillion per second will appear. Many people still believe that the computer is a dangerous invention, which by its artificial intelligence can affect human consciousness. But even they can't deny simple truth: the computer has firmly entered our life, and behind it is the future of mankind.
The current situation requires us to be certain in our attitude to technology, intellect and creativity. Remember Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics? "Think about how to maintain the location of your creation, and not lose the status of its creator." Of course, many of us don't even think of such thoughts. We would like to get basic knowledge about working with a personal computer so that we do not have an inexplicable fear of this smart machine. But believe me, in order to become an ordinary, ordinary, and then experienced user personal computer, no ingenious intellectual ability is required.
In the pages of this book in a simple and accessible form set out all necessary knowledge for novice users. We promise: from the very first page, your awe of the PC will begin to dissipate, and on the fifth or sixth it will disappear completely. You will see that there is nothing difficult in communicating with a computer that even a child preschool age can master it with ease. The book describes the sequential stages of getting to know a computer, starting with its device and practical advice when buying it. With the help of the book, you will learn how to work with basic programs, text, graphics, photographs, music files, you will learn how to burn CDs and DVDs, go online, and besides that, you will get a lot more useful tips and necessary information... You will soon be surprised to realize that you have become confident user your personal computer. Good luck, dear reader!
What is a computer
Maybe you think you have a good enough understanding of a machine like a computer. But do not rush to skip the first chapter, especially if you are a novice user of a personal computer. You can bet that a lot of the information that you glean from this chapter will be useful to you and even useful.
We'll start with the etymology of the word "computer". It comes from the English "compute", which means "calculation". But the functions of a computer are not only contained in electronic calculations, like a calculator.
Opportunities electronic machine hundreds of times wider and at rapid development new technologies are growing every day. A computer can perform operations not only with numbers, but also with any information - text, sound or graphic image... Of course, all this is preliminarily translated into digital form... A computer, in addition to everything, can formulate commands and, with their help, control various external devices- monitor, printer, speakers, etc.
You think you know what a computer looks like, but the device you purchased and installed on your desk is far from the only member of the computer family. In reality, there are already a great many such smart machines. And interestingly, most of them are outward appearance they are not at all similar to the personal computer familiar to our presentation. It is impossible to name any branch of industry or sphere of human activity, where a computer would not be used in one form or another. It was with his help in modern world fly planes, cars, submarines, spaceships... Only such computers are called special computers.
In everyday life, of course, they use completely different computers, which are usually called personal computers - PCs, and the English abbreviation for such machines is PC. There are handheld or pocket computers - PocketPC, PalmTop, portable - laptops. And in this book it will be about desktop personal computers(fig. 1).
Rice. 1. Types of modern personal computers: a - pocket computer; b - laptop; c - desktop personal computer
You've probably heard of IBM-compatible desktop personal computers. IBM is the name of a well-known company that produces personal computer equipment. In the recent past, IBM products were the most popular and widespread in the computer market. Currently, the computers of this company have practically disappeared from sale, but the concept of IBM compatibility still sounds relevant. At the dawn of the computer era, most manufacturers kept all the components of their machines in the strictest confidence. This was called the principle of closed architecture. And IBM, unlike others, provided information about components to everyone and, moreover, appealed to competitors to also use the principle of open architecture and produce similar computers with similar components. IBM takes the lead in the market computer technology and has enjoyed the unlimited trust of consumers for a long time. Gradually, experts from other manufacturers appreciated the advantage of IBM-compatible models, mastered their production and began to develop their own options for components, which often turned out to be best quality than the products of the company that gave birth to modern PCs. Thus, the products of IBM were very quickly ousted from the market by competitors. Only the name of the company continues to live, since computers of modern well-known firms still referred to as IBM-compatible.
All desktop and laptop PCs that exist today are IBM-compatible. Exceptions are computers Apple, but in our country they are used only in the printing industry, and that is extremely rare. Initially, there were no IBM-compatible handheld computers, but Lately modifications have been developed that allow you to install a reduced version of Windows.
The new edition of the popular computer encyclopedia includes the most up-to-date information required by every computer owner. The detailed presentation of the material, combined with a lively and exciting author's style, make the book indispensable for both beginners and experienced users.
How to choose the right computer and what programs to use? How easy is it to install and master Windows 7? How to work in Linux? How to deal with errors and make the system stable. How to quickly find necessary information on the Internet and use file-sharing systems? The book will answer almost any question that a user may have, and will become your reliable friend and companion.
Having withstood more than ten reprints, " Newest encyclopedia computer ", is still the most popular self-instruction manual for computer literacy in Russia.
"This book is mainly about the hobbits ...". It was with this phrase that Professor J.R.R. Tolkisn began his hefty saga of The Lord of the Rings. However, the professor miscalculated: after his fur-legged favorites, so many different-sized animals seeped into the pages of his opus that the stunted hobbits among them somehow immediately got lost ...
So it happened with computers - for nothing that our encyclopedia is nominally dedicated to them, but on the way to the computer itself, we have to wade through a dense forest of players, mobile phones, smart washing machines and video cameras ... Which with all their displays will convince us that they are the main characters of the book ...
But we, following the example of the professor, will pretend that we do not notice all this variegation and diversity. Once we have agreed to write about computers, we will write about them. And in order for the reader to solidify this indisputable fact thoroughly, you and I need to devote the first pages to a detailed and thorough description of the main characters of our book, their characteristics and habits.
In order to finally separate the egg from the chicken, and the head of the clan from his many relatives, let's figure it out once and for all - what is a Computer? And where did it actually come from, and when did it happen?
