Computers are electronic devices that can follow instructions to accept input, process that
input, and produce information. There are four types of computers: microcomputers, minicomputers,
mainframe computers, and supercomputers.
Microcomputers, also known as personal computers, are small computers that can fit on a desktop.
Portable microcomputers can fit in a briefcase or even in the palm of your hand. Microcomputers are
used in homes, schools, and industry. Today nearly every field uses microcomputers.
One type of microcomputer that is rapidly growing in popularity is the portable computer,
which can be easily carried around. There are four categories of portable computers.
Laptops: laptops, which weigh between 10 and 16 pounds, may be AC-powered, battery-powered,
or both. The AC-powered laptop weighs 12 to 16 pounds. The battery-powered laptop weighs 10 to 15
pounds, batteries included, and can be carried on a shoulder strap.
Notebook PCs: notebook personal computers weigh between 5 and 10 pounds and can fit
into most briefcases. It is especially valuable in locations where electrical connections are not
available. Notebook computers are the most popular portable computers today.
Subnotebooks: subnotebooks are for frequent flyers and life-on-the-road types.
[1]
Subnotebooks
users give up a full-size display screen and keyboard in exchange for less weight. Weighting between
2 and 6 pounds, these computer fit easily into a briefcase.
Personal Digital Assistants: much smaller than even the subnotebooks. Personal Digital
Assistants (PDAs) weigh from 1 to 4 pounds. The typical PDA combines pen input, writing
recognition, personal organizational tools, and communication capabilities in a very small
package.
Minicomputers, also knows as midrange computers, are desk-sized machines.
[2]
They fall into
between microcomputers and mainframes in their processing speeds and data-storing capacities.
Medium-size companies or departments of large companies typically use them for specific purposes.
For example, they might use them to do research or to monitor a particular manufacturing process.
Smaller-size companies typically use microcomputers for their general data processing needs, such as
accounting.
Mainframe computers are larger computers occupying specially wired, air-conditioned rooms
and capable of great processing speeds and data storage. They are used by large organizations
übusiness, banks, universities, government agencies—to handle millions of transactions. For
example, insurance companies use mainframes to process information about millions of policyholders.
Supercomputers are special, high-capacity computers used by very large organizations principally
for research purposes. Among their uses are oil exploration and worldwide weather forecasting.
In general, a computer's type is determined by the following seven factors:
ޙസݯᅥྜဴ߽ё
2
2
The type of CPU. Microcomputers use microprocessors. The larger computers tend to use
CPUs made up of separate, high-speed, sophisticated components.
The amount of main memory the CPU can use. A computer equipped with a large
amount of main memory can support more sophisticated programs and can even hold several
different programs in memory at the same time.
The capacity of the storage devices. The larger computers systems tend to be equipped
with higher capacity storage devices.
The speed of the output devices.
[3]
The speed of microcomputer output devices tends to be
rated in terms of the number of characters per second (cps) that can be printedüüusually in tens
and hundreds of cps. Larger computers' output devices are faster and are usually rated at speeds
of hundreds or thousands of lines that can be printed per minute.
The processing speed in millions of instructions per second (mips). The term instruction
is used here to describe a basic task the software asks the computer to perform while also
identifying the data to be affected. The processing speed of the smaller computers ranges from 7
to 40 mips. The speed of large computers can be 30 to 150 mips or more, and supercomputers
can process more than 200 mips. In other words, a mainframe computer can process your data a
great deal faster than a microcomputer can.
The number of users that can access the computer at one time. Most small computers
can support only a single user, some can support as many as two or three at a time. Large
computers can support hundreds of users simultaneously.
The cost of the computer system. Business systems can cost as little as $500 (for a
microcomputer) or as much as $10 million (for a mainframe)üand much more for supercomputer.

As the amount of information on the Web grows, that information becomes ever harder to
keep track of and use. Search engines are a big help, but they can do only part of the work, and
they are hard-pressed to keep up with daily changes.
Consider that even when you use a search engine to locate data, you still have to do the
following tasks to capture the information you need: scan the content until you find the
information, mark the information (usually by highlighting with a mouse), switch to another
application ( such as a spreadsheet, database or word processor), paste the information into that
application.

A better solution, especially for companies that are aiming to exploit a broad swath of data
about markets or competitors, lies with Web harvesting tools.
Web harvesting software automatically extracts information from the Web and picks up
where search engines leave off, doing the work the search engine can't. Extraction tools automate
the reading, copying and pasting necessary to collect information for analysis, and they have
proved useful for pulling together information on competitors, prices and financial data or all
types.
There are three ways we can extract more useful information from the Web.
The first technique, Web content harvesting, is concerned directly with the specific content
of documents or their descriptions, such as HTML files, images or e-mail messages. Since most
text documents are relatively unstructured (at least as far as machine interpretation is concerned),
one common approach is to exploit what's already known about the general structure of
documents and map this to some data model.
The other approach to Web content harvesting involves trying to improve on the content
searches that tools like search engines perform. This type of content harvesting goes beyond
keyword extraction and the production of simple statistics relating to words and phrases in
documents.
Another technique, Web structure harvesting, takes advantage of the fact that Web pages
can reveal more information than just their obvious content. Links from other sources that point
to a particular Web page indicate the popularity of that page, while links within a Web page that
point to other resources may indicate the richness or variety of topics covered in that page. This
is like analyzing bibliographical citations— paper that's often cited in bibliographies and other
paper is usually considered to be important.
The third technique, Web usage harvesting, uses data recorded by Web servers about user
interactions to help understand user behavior and evaluate the effectiveness of the Web structure.
General access—pattern tracking analyzes Web logs to understand access patterns and
trends in order to identify structural issues and resource groupings.
Customized usage tracking analyzes individual trends so that Web sites can be personalized
to specific users. Over time, based on access patterns, a site can be dynamically customized for a
user in terms of the information displayed , the depth of the site structure and the format of the
resource presented.
