INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
The fist thing we learned in this week is about information management.we learned what information management is. information management can be defined as general terms that refer to managing any kind of information or is management and collection of information from one one or more sources and distribution of that information to one or more audience. Information can be found from sources such as paper documents,electronic documents,audio,video.also we learned there are types of information management system such as web content management,document management,records management,digital asset management,learning management system and learning content management system. another thing we have learned is problems associated with information management.information management can face various problem such as little coordination between information systems, large number of disparate information management systems,direct competition between information management systems, poor quality of information and other else.To implement what we learned in class, we were divided in groups and each group were given a topic to work for. my group was concerned with information management. we studied deeply when we were searching information regarding information management from various sources. sources which we uses to search information about information management are books, internet, library and magazine. This assignment of information management has expanded my knowledge since it gave me a chance to exercise my mind by searching information.

second thing we have learned is computer. we learned what is computer. computer is any programmable machine that carries out what it has been instructed to do. we learned five generation of computer and categories of computer.
GENERATION OF COMPUTER
computer has been improved gradual from first generation to the last generation.
PRE COMPUTER AND EARLY COMPUTER
Before 1940s people were using calculating devices known as abacus.
THE FIRST GENERATION:VACUUM TUBES
The first generation of computer was between 1940 and 1950. In this generation two kind of computers were made.The first computer was called ENIAC which was made in 1945 by us arm to perform calculation during world war two.Another computer was UNIVC. This was made in1950 as commercial computer.
THIS IS AN IMAGE OF UNIVAC.
THIS IS AN IMAGE OF UNIVAC.
SECOND GENERATION: TRANSISTORS
second generation was between 1964 and 1964. Replacement was made in this generation where vacuum tubes have been replaced by transistors
THIRD GENERATION: INTEGRATED CIRCUIT.
In this generation which was between 1963 and 1974.I have learned that microprocessor chips combined thousands of transistors, entire circuit on one computer chip.
FOURTH GENERATION
This generation is between 1974 until present, integrated circuits was more modified and the result of modification is occurrence of very large scale integration (VLSI) and ultra large scale integration (ULSI).
FIFTH GENERATION
This is last generation. This generation is between now and future .This generation use artificial intelligence where computer can think, reason and learn. primary means of input are voice and touch.
I have learned why people rely on computer. things which cause people to rely on computer are speed, reliability, storage, communication.
I learned categories of computer. computer can categorized according to their size, capability and prize. six categories of computer i have learned are embedded computer, mobile devices,personal computer, mid range servers, main frames and super computer.
Embedded computer
This is min computer embedded into specific product for specific function.example of embedded computers are price checkers,digital cameras, digital timer on an oven and air condition,digital clock on washing machine and other else.
this are computers that fits in our hand that contain built in computing or internet capabilities.
Personal computer
A digital computer designed for use by only one person at a time.
Midrange server
It is used to host data and programs available to a small group of users
Mainframe computers
Very powerful computer that can handle large number of users simultaneously
Super computer
Most powerful category of computer used for complex computation and processing
