In the mid-1970s, computers started getting small and inexpensive enough for people to have them in their homes.
Many home computer users started using the network to communicate between computers and share messages with each other.
You may wonder how computers talk to each other. In 1963, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) was developed. Different manufacturers use the same 128 codes to make the English alphabet, Arabic numerals, punctuation marks, and many other things.

During the last half of the 1970s, it was obvious that ARPANET wasn't big enough to handle all of this activity. The program was shifted to the National Science Foundation (NSF), which developed a larger network called the NSFNET.
In 1990, this became known as the INTERNET.

How does an E. Mail travel? Email travels along imaginary roads from your
computer to one or more servers and then to your friend's computer.
Servers are the key to sending and receiving emails. You can think of servers like bridges.
Some bridges are small carrying only a few cars. Other bridges are very large carrying many, many cars.
If the bridge goes down, no traffic gets through. It's the same on the Internet, if a server goes down your email can't travel from your computer to your friend's computer.

So, What is a Computer? Computer is an advanced electronic device that
takes raw data as input from the user and processes these data under the control of set of instructions (called program) and gives the result (output) and saves output for the future use.
It can process both numerical and non-numerical (arithmetic and logical) calculations.

Input (Data): Input is the raw information entered into a
computer from the input devices. It is the collection of letters, numbers, images etc.

Output: Output is the processed data given by computer
after data processing. Output is also called as Result. We can save these results in the storage devices for the future use.

What are Computers for?Key Points to remember:1. Computer is a device which converts DATA
into INFORMATION;2. DATA is a collection of facts & figures;3. Computer is used in Business, Administration,
Management, Medecine, Space Technology…4. Computer is a versatile machine that can be
used in almost all the fields.

1. Computer can perform any task faster than any other machine;
2. INFORMATION is meaningful DATA;3. Processing refers to the manipulation of data
within the computer;4. Speed, Accuracy (truth-quality), versatility
(skillfulness), Storage, Diligence (steady application/industrious), etc. are the characteristics of a COMPUTER.

Computer System ?
All of the components of a computer system can be summarized with the simple equations:
COMPUTER SYSTEM = HARDWARE + SOFTWARE+ USER

Processor ?CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU). The main unit inside the computer is the CPU. This
unit is responsible for all events inside the computer. It controls all internal and external devices, performs arithmetic and logic operations. The CPU is the device that interprets and executes instructions.

The CPU is the heart of any computer system. The most important component: The two fundamental units of a CPU are the
arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and the control unit. The former unit performs arithmetic and logic operations. The latter unit fetches instructions from the memory, decodes them to determine the operations to be performed, and finally carries out these operations.
