Types of computers
Devices Advantages Dis-Advantages
Desktop More powerful, large Non portable, restricted to 1 working area,
screen ,better posture, easy to takes up lots of space
upgrade and expand , less
easy to steal
Laptops Excellent for work function , Amount if battery life, slower to start than
tablets
Tablets Quick to turn on , easy to use, Expensive, amount of battery life
lots of app, transfer data,
integrated camara , speaker
microphone, light and portable
Smartphones Pocket sized , can make call , Amount of battery life, small screen
texts, e-mails , integrated making reading difficult, typing slow,
camara , speaker microphone, Web browsing can drain battery quickly
light and portable, wi-fi 5g , 4G
connectivity
Emergent Technologies
AI- ability of digital computersrobot to perform tasks associated with
human intelligence such as learning , problem solving & pattern
reignition
Machine learning- ability of computers without being explicitly
programed
Extended reality (XR) – Immersive technology because it immerses
users in virtual and real environment
Virtual Reality (VR) – a computer-generated environment
Augmented Reality (AR) – a combined virtual and real environment
