Knowing each components of a computer system is very
important, these are the hardware, software and peopleware. Each
component plays an important role, without each other computer
systems will not work properly.
Let us familiarize ourselves with the different components of
the computer system.
HARDWARE
- the physical, touchable, electronic, and mechanical parts of a computer system.
2. Direct Entry - A form of input that does not require data to be keyed by someone
sitting at a keyboard. Direct-entry devices create machine-readable data on paper,
or magnetic media, or feed it directly into the computer’s CPU.
a. Pointing Devices - An input device used to move the pointer (cursor) on the
screen
✓ Mouse - The most common 'pointing device' used in
PCs. Every mouse has two buttons and most have one or two
scroll wheels.
9
✓ Touch screen- A display screen that is sensitive to the touch of a finger or
stylus. Used in myriad applications, including ATMs, retail point-of-sale
terminals, car navigation, and industrial controls.
b. Scanning Devices- A device that can read text or illustrations printed on paper
and translates the information into a form the computer can use.
10
c. Voice- Input Devices - Audio input devices also known as speech or voice
recognition systems that allow a user to send audio signals to a computer for
processing, recording or carrying out commands.
B. Output Devices - Any piece of computer hardware that displays results after the
the computer has processed the input data that has been entered.
✓ Monitor- It displays information in visual form, using text and graphics. The portion of
the monitor that displays the information is called the screen or video display terminal.
LED (Light-Emitting
Diodes)
usually have superior
picture quality, but they
come in varying backlight
configurations
11
✓ Printer - A device that prints text or illustrations on paper.
Types of printer
1. Dot matrix - sometimes called impact matrix printing, is a computer printing process
in which ink is applied to a surface using a relatively low-resolution dot matrix for
layout
12
D. Storage devices–are hardware devices used for storing information from the computer.
SOFTWARE
- is the set of instructions (also called a program) that guides the hardware to operate
effectively. The software can be split into two main types:
1. System Software – Any software required to support the production or execution
of application programs, but which is not specific to any particular application.
Example:
✓ Windows
✓ Macintosh
✓ Linux
2. Application Software – Designed to help the user to perform singular or multiple
related tasks.
Example:
✓ MS Word
✓ MS Excel
✓ MS PowerPoint
✓ Adobe Photoshop
PEOPLE WARE
- refers to people involved in the data processing operations
such as the system administrator, office workers, students
and others.
