  1. What is a Computer System? A computer system is made up of hardware components that have been carefully chosen to work well with the software components or programs that operate on the computer. This is also one of the major topics for class 11 information practices. The key software element is the operating system (OS), which looks after and supports other programs that can run on a computer. In its simplest form, a computer system is an electrical apparatus that can be programmed to accept input, store data, retrieve data, process data, and produce information.

  2. Evolution of Computer In the 17th century, mechanical calculators like Pascaline emerged, leading to Charles Babbage's conceptual Analytical Engine in the 19th century. While teaching computer systems in online information practices for class 11students will learn the basics and evolution of computers. Students can learn multiple things of computers in online learning classes.

  3. Important features of Computer System. Some of the important Features of computer system are given below. This is the most important topic inonline information practices for class 11. Processing Power ·Speed: Computers can process data and execute instructions at incredibly high speeds, measured in gigahertz (GHz) or teraflops (TFLOPS) for supercomputers. ·Multitasking: Modern computers can handle multiple tasks simultaneously, switching between applications efficiently.

  4. Important features of Computer System. Storage Capacity · Primary Storage (RAM): Provides high-speed data access to the CPU for running applications and the operating system. · Secondary Storage (Hard Drives, SSDs): Offers vast storage capacity for files, software, and the operating system, measured in terabytes (TB) or petabytes (PB) for large-scale systems. Data Transfer ·Data Bus: the internal route taken by data as it moves through the computer. Additionally, the amount of data that may be transferred at once, which is commonly measured in bits. ·Input/Output Ports: Various ports (USB, HDMI, Ethernet, etc.) enable connections to external devices and networks, facilitating data transfer.
