Media Of Communication Part 1

 Media Of Communication

Communication Channel:-Medium of communication can broadly categorized into two types:-
 1.Guided Media: - Guided media are those, which provide a physical connection from one device to another device. Like:-(a)Ethernet Cable: - Ethernet is a data link technology used in local Area network. Such cable can transmit data speed of 100-1000 mbps.
.Ethernet Cable was invented by an electrical Engineer of U.S. named Robert Metcalf.
.Ethernet Cable connected to Ethernet port with the help of “RJ45” socket.

Ethernet Cable can be categorized into:-
 1.Straight through Ethernet Cable:- It is used to connect different devices.
Like:- Computer to hub
       Computer to switch
       Computer to router
It has same order of color form left to right.
2.Ethernet Crossover Cable:- It is used to connect same device.
Like:- computer to computer
        Router to router 
        Hub to hub
In the cable inside the main covering 1st with 3rd and 2nd with 6th wire crossed from left
   (b)Co-axial Cable:- It acts as an efficient electrical transmission media. It consist of a single line of conductor surrounded by insulator layer and a conductive shield over it.

  •   It can transmit upto 100 mbps.
  •   It is used by the Cable T.V. operator.


 (c)Fiber optics:- Fiber optic cable is made fine stands of silicon glass fiber and is coated with a refractive surface. Data are transferred through electromagnetic waves.

  •  It can support over 30,000 telephone lines at a time. Transmission rate upto 10Gbps.

Computer Generations

 Computer Generations   Computers have evolved over time through different generations, each marked by significant technological advancements and changes in design and architecture. These generations are often categorized based on the underlying hardware and the key developments that distinguish one Generation from another. Let's explore the main computer generations: First Generation Computers    The First Generation of computers refers to the initial period of electronic computing, characterized by the use of vacuum tubes as the primary electronic component. This Generation spans the 1940s and 1950s and is marked by groundbreaking developments in computer technology.  Examples of First-Generation Computers:  o ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer): Completed in 1945, ENIAC was one of the first electronic general-purpose computers. It was designed to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army during World War ...

Computer Basic

  The word “computer” comes from the word “compute”, which means to calculate”. Charles Babbage is known as the ' Father of computer' .  A computer often referred to as a “data processor” because it can store, process, and retrieve data whenever desired.  The activity of processing data using a computer is called data processing.    Data processing consists of three sub activities:- (1)          Capturing input data (2)          Manipulating the data and (3)          Managing output results. Data : - Data is raw material used as input to data processing. Data can be anything like numerical, non-numerical or a mixture of both. Information : - Information is processed data obtained as output of data processing. Computer: - A computer is an electronic device which performs numerical calculation and logical calculation at hig...

Office Package and Features of Office Package

Most of the official jobs today are dependent on computers. Computer helps in accomplishing different types of official tasks with the help of 'Office Package'. With the help of 'Office Package ' to accomplish basic tasks like typing and composing letters, doing calculations and comparisons, manipulation data and generating multiple types of reports, making presentation for demonstration, seminars etc.   For example: MS Office, OpenOffice, etc. Office package includes the following applications: 1. Word Processor:  A word processor is a type of application software that enables to create a documents by enabling to type text, insert page number, header, footer, edit, modify , and to take print or save documents in soft copy for future use.   2. Spreadsheet:   A spreadsheet package is an application software that stores data in an organized way and help to  analyse, calculate, compare the data or values. It also enables to present information in graphs, pie c...
