INTRODUCTION
 In this advanced technological world computers are served as the a medium
to establish a connectivity between large number of users. Smart devices and computers
plays the part of the platform which uses its applications and browser to connect the
device with all the devices of the world via internet which allows to develop a network
interconnectivity. This presentation will help in understanding the classification of
computers on the basis of its size and capacity. This PowerPoint presentation will also
helps in creating a complete understanding about the use of internet in enhancing the
performance of business as well as individual lives. It will also help in understanding
the concept of ICT (information and communication technology) to interact with large
number of customers.

TASK 1:
The classification of computers on the basis of size and
capacity and its application
 In this technological world, computers are manufactured in a wide varieties
which may be on the basis of different sizes, capabilities, designs etc. These computers
devices are even changed the way they contribute the society as a large machine but
due to the emergence of the artificial intelligence, Tiny computers are now embedded
in a consumer devices and appliances to provide the functionalities. Also, pocket size
computers and mobile phones are establishes that performs the computational
functions. They are classified into various different types of machines on the basis of
size and capacity which are categorised as:

Cont..
 Super computers
 These computers are generally most powerful computers and they
are physically largest by size. These systems are generally designed to process
the huge amount of data that performs the trillions of calculations within a
second. Such systems are mainly used by large corporations, government
agencies, universities etc. These computers costs very high and generally
hosts very complexed web sites in order to performs Decision support system
tasks.
 Mainframe computer
 These computers are also very large which generally occupies the
space of almost entire room but because of large machine it can be used to
process thousands of instructions within a very short span of time. Mainframe
computers costs high and these are capable of connecting thousands of users

Cont..
 Mini computers
 Mini computers are smaller in size then mainframe systems and these
systems are less expensive which sometimes plays the role of Midrange
servers. These computers support the interconnectivity between various
computers and establishes the network connection between them. These
systems are generally used by small and medium business organisations. Mini
computers are normally used in computer labs of school and hospitals etc.
 Micro computers
 These are most frequently used systems which are smaller in size and
easy to use. Such computers are also known as personal computers (PC) which
are mainly small systems and designed to be used by one user at a time. Micro
computers are normally found in homes offices etc. These are easily available
at any place and can also be used to carried away at different places. They are
further classified in various different types of systems such as Desktop,

Cont..
 Embedded computers
 These computers are classified on the basis of their purpose and such devices
are generally fitted into the machines to perform a specific task. These systems are
provided in the form of small integrated chips that are embedded in big machines in
order to add a specific functionality to the comprehensive system. Such embedded
computers are found in home appliances such as microwaves, dishwasher, washing
machines etc.

TASK 2
Importance of internet
 Internet facilitates the world with automated machines that help in improving
the effectiveness and efficiency of the tasks. Due to the increasing use of technology
internet have provided various tools and techniques to make all the work effective.
Benefits of the internet for the organisation are as follows:
 Electronic mail
 Organisations have started using the emails and local telephonic
communications in order to smooth flow of commands and data from the higher
management authority to lower management people. This helps in improving the
efficiency and fast decision making

Cont..
 Marketing and selling
 Many companies uses internet to access the marketing competencies in order
to compete with this technology based world. Managers also uses internet to identify
the trend and marketing requirements which are aimed at increasing the sales of the
company which resulted in maximised profitability.

Cont..
 Individual persons are also benefited from the emergence of the internet as it helps the
people in discovering the vast information in a particular topic. Benefits of the internet
over individuals are as follows:
 Developing the skills and knowledge
 People develops the skills and knowledge using the information available at
internet that help in improving the living standard and it also increases their knowledge
regarding all the areas.
 exploring the personal interests
 Internet have provided various social networking sites to the people which
can be utilised to explore the personal interests and earn online money. Internet also
helps the people in grooming their personal interests which helps them to provide more
future opportunities in career.

TASK 3
Demonstrating the use of ICT
 Information and communication technology can be used to
communicate and interact with the world via internet. This helps in
providing interconnectivity to share the resources with each other. ICT
has its prominent and convincing role due to its ability to exchange
the data and information over network. This can help in storing ,
retrieving and receiving the large amount of information with the use
of various online tools and techniques.
 In order to establish a strong interconnection with the
customers, various organisations have started using the concept of
social media to interact with consumers. Social media is a most
popular increasing technology which is generally used by all the

Cont..
 However ICT have increased the efficiency and affectivity which have connected the
people all over the world. This have also contributed towards the improvement of social,
economic and political development of the world. It is mainly aimed at providing the
equitable access to use the technology in order to improve the communication of the
people
 For instance, Information and communication technology can be exchanged
using personal computers, digital televisions etc. use of social media to interact with
different people helps in organisation as well as individuals in analysing the updated
trend of the market.
