The document defines key components of information and communication technology (ICT) including input devices, output devices, storage devices, processors, system software, and application software. It provides examples for each category such as keyboards, mice, and webcams for input devices; printers and projectors for output devices; hard drives, USB flash drives, and memory cards for storage devices; and CPUs and GPUs for processors. Common system software like Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX are listed along with popular application software including Microsoft Office, Google Chrome, and Skype.

1. INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGY (ICT)
● Input Device
● Output Device
● Storage Device
● Processor
● System Software
● Application Software

2. -INPUT DEVICE-
An input device is any
hardware device that sends
data to a computer, allowing
users to interact with and
control it.

3. WEBCAM
A webcam is a hardware camera connected
to a computer that allows anyone connected
to the internet to view either still pictures or
motion video of a user or other object.
BARCODE READER
Barcodes are often used to help
organize and index information or
prices about an object.

4. KEYBOARD
Keyboards allow the user to input
letters, numbers, and other symbols into a
computer that often function as commands.
MOUSE
The mouse allows an individual to
control a pointer in a graphical
user interface and manipulate on-screen
objects such as icons, files,
and folders.

5. -OUTPUT DEVICE-
An output device is any
peripheral that receives
data from a computer,
usually for display,
projection, or physical
reproduction.


6. PROJECTOR
projectors are used in
meetings to help ensure that
all participants can view the
information being presented.
PRINTER
A printer is an external
hardware device responsible
for taking computer data and
generating a hard copy of
that data.

7. 3D PRINTER
3D printer is a sophisticated printing device
that uses a design from a digital image to produce
an identical physical object using materials such
as metal alloys, polymers, or plastics.
PLOTTER
A plotter is a computer
hardware device much
like a printer that is used
for printing vector
graphics.

8. -STORAGE
DEVICsEtor-age device is any hardware
capable of holding information.
There are two types of storage
devices used in computers; a
primary storage device, such as
ram, and a secondary storage
device, like a hard
removable, internal, or external
storage.


9. FLOOPY
DISKETTE
Early computers did not
have
CD-Rom drives or USB,
and floppy disks were
the
only way to install a new
program onto a
computer
or backup your
information.
USB FLASH
DRIVE
Short for Universal Serial Bus, USB is a
standard that was introduced in 1995 by
Intel, Compaq Microsft and other
computer companies. USB 1.x is an
external bus standard that supports data
transferates of 12 Mbps and is capable of
supporting up to 127 peripheral devices.

10. HARD DRIVE
hard disk drive and abbreviated
as HD or HDD, the hard drive is
the computer’s main storage
media device that permanently
stores all data on the computer.
MEMORY CARD
Alternatively referred to as a flash
memory card, a memory card is a
type of storage media that is most
commonly used in digital cameras,
digital camcorders, handheld
computers, MP3 players, PDAs,
cellphone,game consoles, and
printers, to store pictures, videos,
music, and other data.

11. -PROCESSOR-
The part of a computer that interprets and
carries out instructions provided by the
software. It tests and manipulates data,
and transfers information to and from
other components, such as the working
memory, disk drive, monitor, and
keyboard. The central processing units
of personal computers are generally
implemented on a single chip, called a
microprocessor.

12. CENTRAL PROCESSING
UNIT (CPU)
A central processing unit (CPU) is the
hardware within a computer that carries
out the instructions of a computer
program by performing the basic
arithmetical, logical, control and
input/output operations of the system.
MICROPROCESSOR
A microprocessor incorporates
the functions of a computer's
central processing unit (CPU)
on a single integrated circuits
(IC), or at most a few integrated
circuits.

13. APPLICATION
SPECIFIC INTEGRATED
CIRCUITS
An application-specific
integrated circuit (ASIC) is an
integrated circuit (IC)
customized for a particular use,
rather than intended for general-purpose
use.
GRAPHICS
PROCESSING UNIT
A graphics processing unit (GPU), also
occasionally called visual processing
unit (VPU), is a specialized electronic
circuit designed to rapidly manipulate
and alter memory to accelerate the
creation of images in a brame buffer
intended for output to a display.

14. -SYSTEM
SOFTSyWsteAm RsoEftw-are refers to the files and
programs that make up your
computer's operating system.
System files include libraries of
functions, system services, drivers
for printers and other hardware,
system preferences, and other
configuration files. The programs that
are part of the system software
include assemblers, compilers, file
management tools, system utilites,
and debuggers.


15. MICROSOFT
WINDOWS
When referring to an operating system,
Windows or win, is an operating
environment created by Microsoft that
provides an interface known as
Graphical User Interface (GUI) for IBM
compatible computers.
LINUX
Linux is a free and open-source
operating system developed by
Linus Torvalds and friends and was
first announced by Linus in a post he
made August 25, 1991.

16. MAC OSX
Mac OS X is an operating
system codenamed Cheetah that was
released by Apple in2001 and is a
completely new Apple Macintosh
operating system based on BSD.
UNIX
A term coined by Brian
Kernighan, Unix or UNIX is an operating
system that was developed by some of the
members of the MULTICS team at the Bell
Laboratories starting in the late 1960's,
many of who also helped create the C
programming language.

17. -APPLICATION SOFTWARE-
Application software is a set of
one or more programs
designed to carry out
operations for a specific
application. Application
software cannot run on itself but
is dependent on system
software to execute.

18. MICROSOFT
OFFICE
Microsoft Office is a collection
or package of software
programs commonly used in an
office environment.
GOOGLE
CHROME
Google Chrome is an Internet
browser officially released by
Google December 11,2008
that is a
popular alternative to other
browsers
such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer and
Mozilla Firefox.

19. MOZILLA
FIREFOX
Sometimes abbreviated as FF, Firefox
was first introduced September 23,
2002 and later as Firefox 1.0 on
November 9, 2004. Mozilla's next
generation of browsers that include such
great features as tabbed browsing, pop
up blocking, and other features not
found in other browsers at the time.
