It also outlines the functions of the hard drive for data storage, memory for temporary storage and programs, and additional drives like solid state drives. The presentation concludes by noting the value of understanding how all the internal components work together within the computer system.
secondary storage devices
Secondary storage devices are non-volatile memory that stores large amounts of data at lower costs than primary memory. There are two main types of secondary storage devices: sequential access devices like magnetic tapes that are very fast for sequential data but slow for random access, and direct access storage devices (DASDs) like hard disks that allow for high-capacity random access storage. Magnetic disks are the most widely used secondary storage, offering high storage capacity, reliability, and the ability to directly access stored data.
Primary Storage
Primary storage, also known as internal memory, is the computer memory that is directly accessible to the central processing unit without using input/output channels. It is used to store data that is actively being used and includes processor registers for instruction information, cache memory to increase processor performance, and main memory containing currently running programs and operating data, such as random access memory.
Inside a computer case
The CPU is located on the motherboard and acts as the computer's brain by carrying out commands. The motherboard connects all components like the CPU, RAM, hard drive, and expansion cards. RAM acts as short-term memory while the hard drive provides long-term storage. Expansion cards can boost capabilities for video, sound, networking and more.
Software Piracy Powerpoint
Software piracy involves illegally copying or distributing copyrighted software without permission from the copyright holder. It deprives software companies of significant earnings each year from lost sales. Some of the most commonly pirated software titles in 2007 included Norton Anti-Virus, Adobe Photoshop, and AutoCAD. While software piracy may seem like a victimless crime, it negatively impacts both individuals and society by potentially exposing people to malware, costing jobs, raising legal software prices, and undermining the creative work of software developers. Individuals can help address this issue by educating themselves and others, reporting known cases of piracy, and only using properly licensed software.

It also mentions the motherboard that connects components, RAM for main memory, expansion cards for enhancing functions, and storage devices like hard drives and optical drives for reading data from disks.
Internal components of the computer
The three main internal components of a computer are the CPU, motherboard, and RAM. The CPU processes data and exchanges it with other components. Motherboards contain many components and connect them together. RAM stores data temporarily while the computer is on. Other important internal components include the power supply, fans, adapter cards, optical and floppy disk drives, hard drives, and connectors.
Software piracy
Software piracy involves the illegal distribution and copying of copyrighted software. It can take various forms such as end user duplication, commercial reproduction, or using software cracks. While it provides free access that may help develop skills, it financially harms software companies and is considered a crime. Different perspectives see piracy either as sharing or as theft. While some cultures view copying as respectful, international law protects intellectual property rights. Alternatives like open source software aim to freely share benefits while respecting ethical concerns.

The hardware are the physical parts like the keyboard, monitor, CPU etc. The software are programs like Word, Excel etc. The CPU is the brain of the computer and processes instructions. Memory temporarily stores data and instructions for processing. Different types of computers include PCs, servers, supercomputers and more.
hardware and software
The document discusses the key components of a computer system including the central processing unit, memory, hardware, and software. It defines hardware as the physical parts of a computer like the motherboard, processor, hard drive, and memory. Software is defined as the instructions and data used by computer systems like operating systems and applications. The CPU processes input using the fetch-execute cycle and works with memory, both primary storage like RAM and secondary storage like hard disks, to store and retrieve data and instructions. Input and output devices allow the computer to receive and display information.
Parts Of The Computer
The document identifies and describes the common external and internal components of a personal computer (PC). Externally, the PC consists of a case, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Internally, it contains a motherboard, CPU, drives, expansion cards, memory, and power supply. The document explains the basic function of each component and how they work together to power and operate the PC. Communication ports allow connection to external devices, and storage is classified as either primary (RAM) or secondary (drives).

Components of a PC
The document outlines the main internal components of a personal computer and provides a brief description of each component's function:
The motherboard holds crucial parts like the CPU and RAM and allows them to communicate. The CPU controls basic operations and runs programs. RAM is volatile memory that programs use temporarily. The hard drive is permanent storage. Interface cards include sound, video, and network cards. Cooling fans dissipate heat and the power supply provides power to components.
System unit components
The document discusses the key components of a computer system. A hard drive stores data and files, with larger drives having more storage capacity. The heat sink prevents overheating by dissipating heat, while the power supply provides power to run the computer. The motherboard connects all the parts together including the CPU, memory, ports, and expansion cards.
77 identify the parts of a computer
