The document provides an introduction to basic computer components, including input and output devices. It defines a computer as an electric device that takes in data and instructions as input, processes the data, and provides useful output. The document then distinguishes between input and output devices, with input devices capturing and translating information for processing, and output devices presenting processed information. It also defines computer software as the collection of programs and related data that provide instructions for what a computer should do. The document outlines hardware as the physical parts of the computer system, including both internal components like motherboards and hard drives, as well as external peripherals like monitors, keyboards, and printers.

6. INTRODUCTION
The term computer is derived from the word compute.
A computer is an electric device that takes data
instructon as an input from the user, processes data,
and provide useful informaton known as output. This
cycle of operation of a computer is known as the
input- process-output cycle and as in shown in
figure.

Input Devices
Input Device captures
information and translates
it into a form that can be
processed and used by
other parts of our
computer.
For Ex : Key Board, Mouse,
Barcode Scanner, Scanner.
Output Devices
Output Devices take
information within our
computer and present it to
you in a form that we can
understand.
For Ex : Monitor, Printer,
Speakers, Camera.

technology education and research.

10. Software
Software is a collection of
computer programs and
related data that provide the
instructions for telling a
computer what to do and
how to do it. In other words,
software is a conceptual
entity which is a set of
computer programs,
procedures, and associated
documentation concerned
with the operation of a data
processing system. We can
also say software refers to
one or more computer
programs and data held in the
storage of the computer for
some purposes.

11. Hardware
The electronic device is known as
hardware. Computer Hardware is
the physical part of the computer
system. The machinery and
equipment. Parts of the computer
“ You can feel “ . Internal
hardware devices include
motherboards, hard devices, and
RAM. External hardware device
include Monitors, Keyboards,
Mice, Printers, And Scanners.
The internal hardware parts of a
computer are often referred to as
components, while external
hardware devices are usually
called peripherals. Together, they
all fall under the category of
computer hardware.
