Hardware, Software, and Mobile Systems

Introduction to Information System

LECTURE OUTLINE Where are we? Revisit the 5-component model Computer Hardware – Why we care? Computer Data Five New hardware disruptions

WHERE ARE WE?

First set of chapters answered the question “Why MIS?” Next three chapters will address information systems technology

Lecture 4: Hardware, Software, and Mobile Systems Lecture 5: Database processing Lecture 6: Data communications, internet technologies, and the Cloud

AKA “THE COMPUTER SIDE” CHAPTER

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

CPU – Brain of the computer (aka Processor) Works in conjunction with computers memory to carry out tasks and commands

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

Functions of CPU Retrieve content to process (e.g. binary from keyboard) Decode and execute content (e.g. binary to characters) Stores results someplace (e.g. memory/MS Word)

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

CPU speed is expressed in hertz 3.8GHz processor performs 3.8 billion clock cycles per second (single electronic pulse)

Challenge! Go to your light switch and flip it off and on totaling 3 billion times in one second!!!!

RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM)

RAM – (Random Access Memory) where the results of CPU computations are stored

When you turn off the computer, RAM will lose all data that is stored on it. RAM is volatile!!!!!

VOLATILE VS NON-VOLATILE Volatile Memory is computer storage that only maintains its data while the device is powered. Most RAM (random access memory) used for primary storage in personal computers is volatile memory. Non-volatile Memory is a type of computer memory that can retrieve stored information even after having been power cycled (turned off and back on). Examples of non-volatile memory include read-only memory, flash memory, ferroelectric RAM, most types of magnetic computer storage devices (e.g. hard disk drives, floppy disks, and magnetic tape), optical discs, and others

COMPUTER DATA: BINARY DIGITS (BITS)

Computer data are represented by bits, which are ones and zeros

(1 means electricity on & 0 means no electricity) Data can be characters on screen, images, videos, sounds, etc. Bits are grouped into 8-bit chunks known as bytes

IMPORTANT STORAGE-CAPACITY TERMINOLOGY

HOW CAN NEW HARDWARE AFFECT COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES? WHY WE CARE?

Organizations are concerned in new hardware because they represent potential opportunities, or threats, to their ability to generate revenue.

5 NEW HARDWARE DEVELOPMENTS THAT EFFECT COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE 1. Internet of Things (IoT) 2. Self-Driving Cars 3. Digital Reality Devices 4. 3D Printing 5. Cryptocurrencies

Ask Yourself: 1. What are the implications? 2. What are some business

opportunities? 3. How does this impact me?

INTERNET OF THINGS Internet of Things (IoT) Networking everyday objects by embedding them with hardware They become smart (smart device) by adding processing power, memory, Wi-Fi, and Internet

1. What are the implications? 2. What are some business

opportunities? 3. How does this impact me?

SELF DRIVING CARS

Self Driving Cars Google car has no steering wheel, break pedal, or accelerator One car per family? Who is going to not pay attention to this potential competitive advantage and lose?

DIGITAL REALITY DEVICES

Tremendous potential to revolutionize our daily lives. Will create entirely new types of companies. Change the way people live, work, shop, and entertain themselves. Different levels of digital reality

Completely real environments Virtual environments

3D PRINTING

3D Printers Print plastic, metal, food, ceramics, etc…

3D PRINTING

Try 3D Printing yourself at the Marriott Library!

CRYPTOCURRENCIES

Cryptocurrencies are digital-only currencies that use cryptographic protections to manage and record secure transactions.

Lower Fees Fraud Reduction Instant Payment

Be an early adopter!
