INTEGRATED COMMUNICATION AND TECHNOLOGY
THE BASIC PARTS OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM
• THE BASIC PARTS OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM ARE:
• MONITOR
• CPU (CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT)
• KEYBOARD
• MOUSE
• SPEAKERS
• PRINTER
COMPUTER
• A COMPUTER IS A PROGRAMMABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE DESIGNED
TO ACCEPT DATA, PERFORM PRESCRIBED MATHEMATICAL AND
LOGICAL OPERATIONS AT HIGH SPEED, AND DISPLAY THE RESULTS OF
THESE OPERATIONS, ALL UNDER THE CONTROL OF SOFTWARE.
MAINFRAMES, DESKTOP AND LAPTOP COMPUTERS, TABLETS AND
SMARTPHONES ARE SOME OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPUTERS.
AN ELECTRONIC MACHINE WHICH HELPS IN SOLVING PROBLEMS
QUICKLY AND EASILY. IT SOLVES PROBLEMS ACCORDING TO
INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN TO IT BY THE COMPUTER USER CALLED
PROGRAMS OR SOFTWARE. IT IS A DIGITAL MACHINE(THAT USES
BINARY DIGITS) USED IN ALL FIELDS.
COMPUTER INFORMATION
A COMPUTER IS AN ELECTRONIC MACHINE THAT
PROCESSES DATA.
INFORMATION GIVEN TO THE COMPUTER IS CALLED
DATA. COMPUTER WORKS VERY FAST. IT SAVES YOUR TIME
AND ENERGY. IT DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES. IT CAN
REMEMBER A LOT OF THINGS. THE BASIC PARTS OF A
COMPUTER ARE SHOWN IN THE PICTURE GIVEN HERE.
COMPUTER HARDWARE
• COMPUTER HARDWARE INCLUDES THE PHYSICAL PARTS OR COMPONENTS OF
A COMPUTER, SUCH AS THE CENTRAL PROCESSING
UNIT, MONITOR, KEYBOARD, COMPUTER DATA STORAGE, GRAPHIC CARD, SOUND
CARD, SPEAKERS AND MOTHERBOARD.[1] BY CONTRAST, SOFTWARE IS
INSTRUCTIONS THAT CAN BE STORED AND RUN BY HARDWARE. HARDWARE IS SO-
TERMED BECAUSE IT IS "HARD" OR RIGID WITH RESPECT TO CHANGES OR
MODIFICATIONS; WHEREAS SOFTWARE IS "SOFT" BECAUSE IT CAN BE
EASILY UPDATED OR CHANGED. INTERMEDIATE BETWEEN SOFTWARE AND
HARDWARE IS "FIRMWARE", WHICH IS SOFTWARE THAT IS STRONGLY COUPLED TO
THE PARTICULAR HARDWARE OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM AND THUS THE MOST
DIFFICULT TO CHANGE BUT ALSO AMONG THE MOST STABLE WITH RESPECT TO
CONSISTENCY OF INTERFACE.
INPUT DEVICE
• A COMMON COMPUTER INPUT DEVICE, A KEYBOARD. A USER PRESSES A KEY
WHICH TRANSFERS INFORMATION TO A COMPUTER.
• IN COMPUTING, AN INPUT DEVICE IS A PIECE OF COMPUTER HARDWARE
EQUIPMENT USED TO PROVIDE DATA AND CONTROL SIGNALS TO AN
INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM SUCH AS A COMPUTER OR INFORMATION
APPLIANCE. EXAMPLES OF INPUT DEVICES INCLUDE KEYBOARDS, MOUSE,
SCANNERS, DIGITAL CAMERAS AND JOYSTICKS. AUDIO INPUT DEVICES MAY BE
USED FOR PURPOSES INCLUDING SPEECH RECOGNITION. MANY COMPANIES ARE
UTILIZING SPEECH RECOGNITION TO HELP ASSIST USERS TO USE THEIR
DEVICE(S).
THE FIRST PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS:
MONITOR
DEFINITION OF MONITOR
• A COMPUTER MONITOR IS AN OUTPUT DEVICE
WHICH DISPLAYS INFORMATION IN PICTORIAL
FORM. A MONITOR USUALLY COMPRISES THE
DISPLAY DEVICE, CIRCUITRY, CASING, AND POWER
SUPPLY. ... OLDER MONITORS USED A CATHODE
RAY TUBE (CRT).
THE SECOND PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS:
CPU
DEFINITION OF CPU
• CPU (PRONOUNCED AS SEPARATE LETTERS) IS THE
ABBREVIATION FOR CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT.
SOMETIMES REFERRED TO SIMPLY AS THE CENTRAL
PROCESSOR, BUT MORE COMMONLY CALLED PROCESSOR,
THE CPU IS THE BRAINS OF THE COMPUTER WHERE MOST
CALCULATIONS TAKE PLACE.
THE THIRD PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS:
KEYBOARD
DEFINITION OF KEYBOARD
• IN COMPUTING, A COMPUTER KEYBOARD IS A
TYPEWRITER-STYLE DEVICE WHICH USES AN
ARRANGEMENT OF BUTTONS OR KEYS TO ACT AS
MECHANICAL LEVERS OR ELECTRONIC SWITCHES.
FOLLOWING THE DECLINE OF PUNCH CARDS AND PAPER
TAPE, INTERACTION VIA TELEPRINTER-STYLE KEYBOARDS
BECAME THE MAIN INPUT METHOD FOR COMPUTERS.
THE FOURTH PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS:
MOUSE
DEFINITION OF MOUSE
• A COMPUTER MOUSE IS A HAND-HELD POINTING DEVICE
THAT DETECTS TWO-DIMENSIONAL MOTION RELATIVE
TO A SURFACE. THIS MOTION IS TYPICALLY TRANSLATED
INTO THE MOTION OF A POINTER ON A DISPLAY, WHICH
ALLOWS A SMOOTH CONTROL OF THE GRAPHICAL USER
INTERFACE.
THE FIFTH PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS:
SPEAKER
DEFINITION OF SPEAKER
• A DEVICE THAT CONVERTS ANALOG AUDIO SIGNALS
INTO THE EQUIVALENT AIR VIBRATIONS IN ORDER TO
MAKE AUDIBLE SOUND. WHEN CRT MONITORS WERE THE
NORM, SPEAKERS DESIGNED FOR COMPUTERS WERE
SHIELDED TO AVOID MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE WITH THE
CRT'S MAGNETIC COIL. GETTING SMALLER ALL THE TIME.
THE SIXTH PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS:
PRINTER
DEFINITION OF PRINTER
• A PRINTER IS A DEVICE THAT ACCEPTS TEXT AND
GRAPHIC OUTPUT FROM A COMPUTER AND TRANSFERS
THE INFORMATION TO PAPER, USUALLY TO STANDARD
SIZE SHEETS OF PAPER. PRINTERS VARY IN SIZE, SPEED,
SOPHISTICATION, AND COST. IN GENERAL, MORE
EXPENSIVE PRINTERS ARE USED FOR HIGHER-RESOLUTION
COLORPRINTING
