![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.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/marifepardillo3-180911064952/85/THE-BASIC-PARTS-OF-A-COMPUTER-SYSTEM-6-320.jpg)
THE BASIC PARTS OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM
- 1. THE BASIC PARTS OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM PRESENTED BY: MARIFE PARDILLO GRADE 10 SSC INTEGRATED COMMUNICATION AND TECHNOLOGY
- 2. THE BASIC PARTS OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM • THE BASIC PARTS OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM ARE: • MONITOR • CPU (CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT) • KEYBOARD • MOUSE • SPEAKERS • PRINTER
- 4. 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.
- 5. 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.

- 7. 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).
- 8. THE FIRST PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS: MONITOR
- 9. 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).
- 10. THE SECOND PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS: CPU
- 11. 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.
- 12. THE THIRD PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS: KEYBOARD
- 13. 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.
- 14. THE FOURTH PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS: MOUSE
- 15. 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.
- 16. THE FIFTH PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS: SPEAKER
- 17. 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.
- 18. THE SIXTH PARTS OF A COMPUTER IS: PRINTER
- 19. 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
