MOUSE ACTIONS  Left click  Right click  Double Click  Mouse Move (Point)  Drag (Click + Hold) MOUSE ?
Action Definition Click Press and release the left mouse button, without moving the mouse. Left-click Same as click. Left-click clarifies the action when there might be confusion with right-click. Right-click Press and release the right mouse button, without moving the mouse. Double-click Press and release the left mouse button twice in rapid succession without moving the mouse. Drag Click-and-hold a mouse button, then move an object. For example, you can drag a window or an icon. The left and middle mouse buttons can perform drag actions. MOUSE ACTIONS
Types of mouse  Mechanical Mouse A hard rubber ball that rolls as the mouse is moved. Sensors inside the mouse body detect the movement and translate it into information that the computer interprets.  Optical Mouse Use an LED sensor to detect table top movement and sends off that information to the computer for merry munching.  Cordless Mouse A cordless mouse frees you from cord problems. It connects to your computer with a radio signal. We can also say that wireless mouse.
KEYBOARD PRIMARY INPUT DEVICE (KEYBOARD) MODIFIERS : SHIFT, CTRL, ALT TOGGLE KEY : CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK AND SCROLL LOCK
KEYBOARDING  Caps lock  Esc  Shift  Ctrl  Alt(act. Hot keys)  Window key  Space bar  Backspace  Delete  Menu/Application  Enter  Tab  Arrows  Home  End  Insert (overtype)  Number PAD  Print Screen (prt sc)  Shut down option (log off, sleep, hibernate, lock)
 A collection of data or information that has a name, called the filename. Almost all information stored in a computer must be in a file.  FILES: A collection of binary data saved with a single name  A file is an item that contains information.  Files are represented with icons  Ext name: suffix to a name of a file that shows the encoding format  FOLDERS: logical division on a storage device
��A file is an object on a computer that stores data, information, settings, or commands that are used with a computer program. In a GUI such as Microsoft Windows, files are shown as unique icons that relate to the program that opens the file. Data files, text files ,program files, etc

Editor's Notes

  1. Windows Mac Linux Unix Xp, 7, 8, 10 leopard Ubuntu
  2. It is the translator between the user and the hardware Manages files and the system itself Enables hardware components to communicate with each other with applications
  3. Hibination saves to hdd and sleep saves to RAM a GUI operating system for personal computers.
  4. The Start menu, accessed with a click on the Start button, lists the programs, folders and utility applications that are available on your computer. The Start menu is divided into panes, with similar items grouped on a pane. The left pane displays a list of programs that you commonly access on the computer. This gets you going quickly if you need one of these applications. If you use Microsoft Word consistently, it will appear on this list. Programs that you don’t use as frequently are accessed when you point to All Programs on the left pane. The right pane accesses your system folders, such as Documents, Pictures and Music. You open and adjust your system settings from this pane, using the Control Panel. You also log off, shut down, and get help using the right pane of the Start menu. Below the left pane, the Search box enables you to type keywords to complete searches for files or folders on your computer. Searching will be covered in a later slide in this presentation.
  5. Difference between move and copy
  6. FILES: A collection of binary data saved with a single name|| A FILE IS AN ITEM THAT CONTAINS INFORMATION,FILES ARE REPRESENTED WITH ICONS || FOLDERS : logical division on a storage device || Ext name: suffix to a name of a file dat shows the encoding format
