  DATA PROCESSING : DEFINITION AND DATA PROCESSING CYCLE/STAGES Definition of Data Processing Data processing is a computer process that converts data into information. Data Processing Cycle/Stages Data processing cycle  is the sequence of stages in processing data. The stages in data processing include: 1. Data gathering or collection 2. Data collation or preparation 3. Input stage 4. Processing stage 5. Storage stage 6. Output stage 1. Data Gathering :  This is the process of collecting data together before processing. The methods of gathering data include: a. Interview b. Questionnaire c. Record review d. Observation 2.  Data Collation : This is the assembling of data in a standard order. 3. In put Stage: At this stage data are entered into a device like calculator or computer for processing. In computer, data are entered via input devices such as, Keyboard, Mouse, Joy Stick, Light pen, Track Ball, Scanner, Graphic Tablet, Microphone e.t.c 4. Processing Stage : T...

  LOGIC GATES/CIRCUITS  1-2 INTRODUCTION/DEFINITION, TYPES, SYMBOLS AND USES Objective:  At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to: 1. Define logic gates 2. State the types of logic gate 3. Draw logic gates symbols 4.State the uses of logic gates DEFINITION OF LOGIC GATES A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit. M ost logic gates have two inputs and one output. At any given moment, every terminal is in one of the two binary conditions low (0) or high (1), represented by different voltage levels. Types of Standard Single Logic gate There are three types of standard single logic gates. They are: 1. AND gate 2. OR gate 3. NOT gate Alternative Logic Gates are: 4. NAND gate 5. NOR gate 1.    AND gate :  AND gate will give a high output only if all of the inputs are high. It means multiplication (x). For example if A = 0 and B= 1, A AND B = 0 X 1 = 0 AND GATE SYMBOL 2.  OR gate  : This  is a digital logic ga...

COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS 1   MEANING AND TYPES - BROADCASTING - TELECOMMUNICATION - DATA NETWORK MEANING OF ICT ICT is an acronym that stands for Information and Communication Technology. Information is referred to knowledge obtained from reading, investigating, studying and researching. It can also be defined as processed data. Communication is an act of transmitting messages. Technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. It is also defined as the use of a diverse set of technological tools and resources to communicate, create, disseminate, store and manage information. Communication strategies in ICT There are two types of communication strategies in ICT: 1. Synchronous communication This is a communication strategy where all parties involved in the communication need to be present and available at the same time. E.g. online chat, video conferencing, etc. 2. Asynchronous communication Asynchronous communication does not re...

  CYBER SECURITY AWARENESS MEANING OF CYBERSECURITY – CYBER SECURITY THREATS - VIRUSES, PHISHING AND SPOOFING, RANSOMWARE, PASSWORD ATTACK, INSIDER THREATS, DDOS ( DISTRIBUTED DENIAL OF SERVICE ) INTRODUCTION Cyber security awareness teaches people how to stay safe while using computers, mobile phones, and the internet. Many cyber-attacks succeed because users are not careful or informed. MEANING OF CYBERSECURITY Cyber security is the practice of protecting computers, mobile phones, networks, and data from unauthorized access, attacks, or damage. It helps to: (i) Protect personal information (ii) Prevent data loss (iii) Keep systems working properly   CYBER SECURITY THREATS A cyber security threat is any action or program that tries to harm a computer system, steal data, or disrupt services. Common cyber security threats are: (a) viruses (b)  Phishing and Spoofing (c) Ransomware (d) Password Attacks (e) Insider Threats (f) DDoS (Distributed Denial of Se...
