The computer system is a base which is
built in it of the Information Technology
concepts. So, what is IT?
Information Technology (IT): A set of tools
that are used to:
Receive, Process, Store retrieve, Print
and Transmit information in an
electronic form through computers.
These forms can be: Text, Sound,

The components of a
Computer System are:
Hardware: Physical components
like Screen, Cables, Keyboard,
System Box and Printer.
Software: A set of instructions
that tells the computer what to do
and how to do it. Such as:
Word Processing
Graphics Programs and
Games.

Hardware components of computers
are classified into four units, are:
1. Input Devices:
This group consists of devices that allow
people to put data into the computer in a form that the
computer can use. Such as: Keyboard and Mouse.
Hardware Components of Computers
2. Output Devices:
This group consists of devices that translate the
information processed by the computer into a form
that can understand. Such as: Monitor, Printer and
Speaker.

3. Central Processing Unit (CPU):
The CPU is the central electronic
chip that determines the processing power
of the computer. It the brain of computer.
Hardware Components (Cont.)
CPUs have three basic parts:
- Arithmetic & Logic Unit (ALU)
- Control Unit
- Cash Memory

Hardware cannot work without Programs.
A program is a set of sequence instructions
that tell the computer what to do.
Software Components:
Software is a collection of programs, data
and information.
