Computer In Education

     At this time,city was aim at status a developing city at years 2020 the future.Necessity source of people in science field and technology is the most important in devalopment of a country.Since that, education is one of branch that most important for giving education to source of energy adept and half adept tahat trained.With this, nesserity in field of science and tecnology is important in Malaysia for gain "wawasan 2020".

     With this, education process for science subject is cared by the gavernment in effort to produce society that sciecetific and progresif, creation ability and long sightness to future. Then, some new effort for science education has been introduce, not exept with physic subject. One of new approachment is studying with multimedia software. Cannot be denied that information technology nowdays has been accepted as half of education. All school in Malaysia now has equip with multimedia. All teachers that teach science and math has been equip with a "laptop". This shows how care government in change prinsiple of education in science and math in our country.

     Studying with help from computer is a approach that use computer for study and education aim. To put this in nut shell, computers are one of incentive that use for giving content in education to make the education is easier.

     Devalopment of technology in computer field nowday has increased. This devalopment that motivate our thinks to feel technology in field of computer in education system nowdays. Affect of technology has been combine with school curriculum as a efford to increase interest for student in education.

Computer's Benefit in learning

     Computer learning where there're so many beneit of multimedia,learning process is meaningful because can afford to show the text,colours,sounds,videos,animation,pictures along with the cleverness that can serve interactive process.the advancement of technology information and comunication also beneficial in the education,one of them is learning with the help of computer,in the use according to Sudjana and Rivai(1989),there are few learning models with the help of computer that is drill and practice,tutorials,problem solving,simulations and games.

Gregor MendelArief S.Sadiman (1984:6) said that media is everything physic's equipment that can serve the orders along with stimulate students to learn like films,books and cassette. RE Clark(1996:62)utter that "the of of media to encourage student to invest more afford in hearing has along history".

From above,we can said that media was an equipment that let the youngs to interprate and understand something easier and they're able to memorize it for a long time compared with the delivery to weld education to look carefully on the face and lecture without any help.According to Soeparno(1987:8) said there is many reason to choose media in learning process,that is many media that have accord to deliver the information,there's differences in characteristic in every media,the difference of the user,difference of situation and place condition where media is used, learning media have a base of Information Technology, Comunication and Usage.Computer as the Learning Application Media in the course of education probably individual learning.The computer user can interact directly to the information source.The development of computer network technology(internet) this time enable userto do interaction to get knowledge and information that they want to.Many types of education interaction ongoing with the medium computer on hand.Some far education board in total country that are develop beneficially this medium as the interaction.This beneficial based on the ability on the computer to feedback instantly to the user.Example of the internet usage is used by Open University in the exertion of Far Open University while the students get the module for learning and teaching process.The late Internet lecture class by IBUteledukasi.com. Virtual IBUteleducation University is built by Adi Sasono,Chief of Ikatan Cendekiawan Muslim Indonesia(ICMI) together with Tun Abdul Razak Unversity(Unitar) Malaysia that previously managed Online Lecturing.For the far education,Universiti Fakulti Kedoktoran Gajah Mada. Learning interaction on Hospitality Management Magister and Management Health Treatment Magister Program is made via electronic letter(e-mail)students must answer 75% question via e-mail.Other example of Computer Network Benificial is made by Indonesia University(UI).Since year 1994,UI has develop the information infrastructure that is known as Jaringan Universiti Indonesia Terpadu(JUITA).JUITA join 11 faculties and vital boardsin UI by using fibre optic(Sri Hartati,dkk 1997 in Benny A.Pribadi and Rosita,Tita,2000)

 Computer Hardware

    Anton van Leeuwenhoek

Computer hardware refer to the portion that form complete set o computer.Computer hardware
also know as device.The technical term of hardware or device refer to all utilities of a
computer while sofware provide orders to the hardware to actualise computer's work.Sometimes
the difference between hardware and software are quite blur,especially when referring to
the firmware.Firmware is the software that is plugged into the hardware,it is rarely need to
change and so,usually save in Read-Only Memory(ROM).

Most of the hardware can't be seen of regular user.It is contitute part from what is used
in vehicles,microwave,electrocardiograph machine,CD Player and many more.Personal Computer,
is the most regular hardware on most people,constitute form small part of the computer
hardware(at least 0.2% from all new computer on 2003).

Typical personal computer has hardware componen as the following:
>motherboard
>Central Processing Unit(CPU) and its fan
>Random-Accsess Memory
>Basic Input or Output System(BIOS)
>Computer Bus Slot
-Peripheral Component Interconnect(PCI)
-Peripheral Component Interconnect Express(PCI-E)
-Universal Serial Bus(USB)
-Hypertransport
-CSI(expected starting 2008)
-Accelerated Graphics Port(AGP)
-ISA,EISA,VLB(not use anymore)
>Computer Power Supply-contain transormers,voltage control and fan
>Storage Controller for IDE,SATA,SCSI and other storage,taht control hard disc,floppy disc,
CD-ROM and other driver.Can be placed on motherboard or card addition.
>Video controller that expel output for computer monitor.Can be combine with the motherboard
self-slot(PCI,PCI-E or AGP),need graphic card.
>Computer bus controller(parallel port,siries,USB,FireWire)to connect computer and the
outside hardware such as printer or scanner.
>One or more media can be drop off
>CD-the most common
-CD-ROM drive
-CD writer
>DVD
-DVD-ROM drive
-DVD-RAM drive
-DVD writer
>BD
-BD-ROM drive
-BD recorder
>Floppy disc(discette)
>zip drive
>USB flash drive(thumb drive)
>memory card-small
>tape drive-storage for a long time
>inner storage
>hard disc-storage for a short periodic of time
>disc controller,example RAID
>sound card
>networking-to connect computer to the internet/other computer
>modem-dail connection
>network card - DSL connector to the other computer
>Other software like TV tuning fork.

Farther from that,hardware also including outside PC component like:

>Input Device
>Keyboard(text)
>touch pad device
-mouse
-trackball
>gaming device
-joypad
-joystick
-other game controller
>Image,video input device
-Scanner
-webcam
>audio input device
-microphone
>touch screen
>output device
>image,video output device
-computer monitor
-computer terminal
-printer-hard copy
-plotter-hard copy
-refreshable Braille display
-Braille Embosser-hard copy
>output audio device
-speaker
-headphone
