welcome to

learncomputerscienceonline.com
and in this video we are going to
discuss a simplified introduction to the
computer system
this video tutorial is specially
designed for the beginners to learn the
fundamental concepts related to computer
we will study the definition of computer
various components of computer system
important characteristics and features
of computer and how computer works
let us start with a simple introduction
to the computer system
a computer system is defined as a
programmable electronics device that can
be programmed to accept the input data
then process this input data as per the
program instructions
the computer then presents the processed
data to the user as an output
the user can utilize the process data
for some meaningful work
the computer system mainly consists of
two types of components the first type
is called the hardware components and
the second type is called the software
components the hardware components are
the physical parts of the computer ,
such as keyboard display monitor, mouse, cpu
cabinet, and other such parts

the computer system needs two types of


software components to function
the first type is called the application
software and the second type is called
the system software
the application software is directly
used by the system user to perform
different tasks on the computer
such as microsoft ward and powerpoint
whereas the system software is a special
type of software that is internally used
by the computer itself to manage and
operate the various hardware components
connected to the system
the operating system is the most
important system software used by the
computer
the operating system basically provides

an interface to the user to interact


with the system
let us now understand the architecture
of the computer system in terms of the
functional units
the entire functioning of the computer
can be grouped into various functional
units
let us understand some important
functional units of the computer system

with the help of a computer block


Diagram the computer system working can be
grouped into four major units
each unit performs a specific function
in the working of a computer
the four major units of the computer
units are first input unit
second memory unit third central
processing unit
also commonly referred to as cpu and the
fourth unit is called output unit
the input unit consists of various input
devices connected to the computer system
such as keyboard mouse scanner
the main function of the input unit is
to accept the data received from the
input devices

the next unit is called memory unit the


computer memory unit consists of
different types of memories used to
store the data and the program
instructions during the
