CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO COMPTER
In the old days, in Egypt and china, they used stories in collection and keeping data. As time go on, it become very difficult to use, so a man called Abacus produce a machine called Abacus. It becomes very difficult to use. A man line in the year 194. Yet it was not perfect, so moderate the pascaline machine. Still
it was no perfect. A man called Charles invest a man that was capable for
Calculation in the year 1950-60, he called father of computer. A lady called Ada Lovelace wrote a program used by Charles Babbage. Harmon hollirite was on a census department produce a machine, A machine called (IBM) international business machine. It was the largest computer found in the whole world which produces in the year 1924. A man called mark Howard hiken produces a machine called mark 1 which was the first electronic machine. A man called (ABC) Anattasoft Berry of the company produce a machine called (ASCC) Automatic sequence control calculator. It fall under 1st and 2nd generation, there was no keyboard then, they also make used of vacuum tube for data processing. They are very large and not portable number which makes it difficult to use. It fall under 2nd generation. But now, computer are versatile and now ruling the world.

DEFINITION OF COMPUTER
Computer may be defined as electronic machine that works under the instruction which stores data and bring out processed data as an output.

It can also define as devices that work under the instruction to accept data, processed data, and stories data and bring out the processed data as an output.
There are some merits and demerits of computer which may enhance and at the same time is a problem in our society

MERITS OF COMPUTER.

CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTER
Computer are classified into four parts, these includes, type, sizes, purpose and generation.

CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO TYPE
Types are classified into, Analogue, Digital and Hybrid.
1. Analogue computer; They are computer that measure physical condition of things,eg thermometer, hydrometer, analogue clock, speedometer, temperature etc.
2. Digital computer: They are those computer that measure in digits, binary numbers which is numbers in base eg calculators, digitals watch etc they are mainly used for counting and measuring.
3. Hybrid computer: They are the combination of both analog and digit computer. They make use of digitizer for converting analog signals to digital signals and Vic VERSAL e.g in traffic light Junction.

CLASSIFICATION ACORDING TO SIZES

It classified into super, main frame, mini and micro computer.
1. Super computer: It is largest computer found in the whole world, it can contain in one house and can contain more than fifty thousand people working on it, it has unlimited memory.

I. line printer: they print on line at a time usually between 120- 144 characters.
II. Dot matrix printer: they are printers that form characters by using ink to strike on a ribbon against paper.
Non impact printer: They printer that printer that printers images by method of other than striping, eg laser and ink jet printer.
i. Laser: It is a printer that uses technology to produce a very light quality character by bearing the whole page at a time unto a drum. The image is picked up with a tuner.
ii. Ink jet printer: It is a non impact printer that printer’s information by shooting method and trying to spray ink over a page in order to form character.
It is characterized by been very fast, very expensive to purchase. They make no noise while printing outwork. Word
d. Plotter: they are printer which makes use of robotic arm in work.



SOFT WARE
Soft ware component of computer is a series of instruction that direct the activities a computer system. It is a programs written by computer programmers which enables user to perform his/her daily work with a computer system.

i. APPLICATION SOFTWARE: It is a program design by computer programmers to assit a computer user to perform his daily work. It applies the computer to whatever the user wants, e.g. Microsoft word etc.
Types of application software are:
General purpose and special/ customize purpose.

General purpose: These are computer items you can buy in computer shop and they serve as general purpose problems.

a. Customize/ special purpose: The are the program made by computer programmer based on individual or companies need, they are portable.
iii. System software: The se are the software written by computer manufactures which enable the system to perform its work. System software is already stored in the system when you purchase it.

HUMANWARE
This is one of component of computer system; they that people that operate the computer, e.g engineers, students etc.

CHAPTER THREE
PLACTICAL ILLUSTRATION OF OVERHEAD AND ONSCREEN PRESENTATIO IN (TEN) (10) SLIDE

INTRODUCTION TO OVERHEAD PRESENTATION AND ONSCREEN PRESENTATION
Overhead presentation and onscreen presentation as the name implies is a presentation where by you present your show above the human head so that your audience will have to be looking towards the projected object and see your presentation. There must be an angle of elevation between the neck and the body.
Because you will be looking up that is above your head and see it. Before you call your presentation overhead presentation and onscreen presentation you must set your presentation above human head. Before you can present your presentation overhead you must have at the back of your mind that two things are involve.
PROJECTOR
ONSCREEN SHOW

Diagram of Onscreen show
DEFINITION OF PROJECTOR
A projector is device that is designed to display an image from your computer (consumes video device) onto a large wall or movie screen.
We have audio and video projector.

Diagram of a projector


HOW TO USE PROJECTOR
When operating a projector you are advised to use a remote control instead of the button that is physically on the projector.
They remote is small and silver coated.
It should be found around the video editing marching table.
NB: Note that remote only function within a 60 arc from the front and near the projector.

TURNING PROJECTOR ON AND OFF

TURNING ON
Simply press the power button to turn the projector ON.
The amber light on the projector should begin to flash green. It need to warm up so a minute or more time will be required before an image will be displayed.

TO TURN OFF
To turn off the projector press and hold the power button for two seconds. The green light on the projector will start to flash and message will appear on the projected image asking you to wait a moment.
The fan will remain on for a few minutes after which the images disappear before it is finally switched off.

HOW TO PROJECT A COMPUTER
By default, the projector’s computer impute hooked into the video editing machine in front of the cinema.
Follow this step to use this marches with the projector.
Ø Make sure the projector is On before your start, the projecting computer should be a blue screen.
Ø Press RGB on the projector remote. The screen should remain blue, but you will see RGB at the corner.
Ø On the cinema, enter the display properties either by accessing it from the control panel or by right clicking on the desktop and selecting ‘’ properties’.
Ø In the display properties window, select the setting tab.
Ø In the setting tab, click on the advanced button.
Ø In the advanced window click on device selection tab.
Ø In the advice selection tab, select Analog monitor press ok. The image will disappear from the monitor and appear on the projector screen. You can not use the monitor while viewing the computer over the projector.
Before you turn on the projector and computer, set the dip switches as show in the table below for the RESOLUTION MONE the you want to use.
NOTE: The hoot up should be done as per the above illustration before anything is turned on.
After hoot up, turn on (in order) the projector, monitor, and computer.



CHAPTER 4
SUMMARYS AND CONCLUSION
The computer itself is the heart of all the activities in the word since there is high let of development. The programs of computer are important because Microsoft power point for example is a presentation package which is used for presenting shows with good animation and sound. Media house find PowerPoint very important because is like the main tool for presenting show with different animations.

CONCLUSIVELY
The overhead and onscreen presentation in a power point is also done through computers with the help of projector which is used to project
an image from the computer।
