Computer & its component

There are basically three important Component of Computer :

1. Input
2. CPU
3. Output

INPUT : The input unit consists of input devices that are attached to the
computer. These devices take input and convert it into binary language that
the computer understands. Some of the common input devices are
keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner etc

 KEYBOARD : A computer keyboard is an input device that allows a


person to enter letters, numbers, and other symbols (together,
called characters) into a computer. It is one of the most used
input devices for computers. Using a keyboard is often
called typing.
 JOYSTICK : A joystick is a hand-held input device used to control
the movement or actions of a digital object on a computer screen.
It typically consists of a handle or a lever that can be tilted or
pushed in different directions to provide input to a computer or a
gaming console.
 SCANNER : A scanner is a device that captures images from
photographic prints, posters, magazine pages and similar sources
for computer editing and display. Scanners work by converting the
image on the document into digital information that can be
stored on a computer through optical character recognition
(OCR).

CPU: Once the information is entered into the computer by the input device,
the processor processes it. The CPU is called the brain of the computer
because it is the control centre of the computer. It first fetches instructions
from memory and then interprets them so as to know what is to be done. If
required, data is fetched from memory or input device. Thereafter CPU
executes or performs the required computation, and then either stores the
output or displays it on the output device. The CPU has three main
components, which are responsible for different functions: Arithmetic Logic
Unit (ALU), Control Unit (CU) and Memory registers

OUTPUT : The output unit consists of output devices that are attached to the
computer. It converts the binary data coming from the CPU to human
understandable form. The common output devices are monitor, printer,
plotter, etc.

 MONITOR : A monitor is an electronic output device used to display


information being entered and processed on a computer. The
primary use of a monitor is to display images, text, video, and
graphics information generated by the computer via a computer's
video card.
 PRINTER : A printer is a device that prints documents and images
onto paper or other materials. It is usually connected to a
computer, allowing you to use your word processor, spreadsheets,
and other programs to create documents and images that are
printed out on the printer.
 PLOTTER : A plotter is a printer that interprets commands from a
computer to make line drawings on paper with one or more
automated pens. Unlike a regular printer, a plotter can draw
continuous point-to-point lines directly from vector graphic files or
commands.
