Software Hardware
Hardware
refers to the physical components of a
computer system that you can touch and see
Parts Of Computer :
● 1. Central Processing Unit (CPU)

• Function: The brain of the computer, responsible for executing


instructions and processing data.
• Components:
• Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): Performs mathematical
calculations and logical operations.
• Control Unit: Directs the operation of the processor and
coordinates activities.
Parts Of Computer :
● 2. Motherboard

• Function: The main circuit board that connects all components


of the computer.
Parts Of Computer :
● 3. Memory (RAM)

• Function: Temporary storage that holds data and instructions


that the CPU is currently processing.
• Characteristics: Volatile memory, meaning data is lost when
power is turned off.
Parts Of Computer :
● 4. Storage Devices

• Types:
• Hard Disk Drive (HDD
• Solid State Drive (SSD
• Function: Store operating systems, applications, and user
data.
Parts Of Computer :
● 5. Power Supply Unit (PSU)

• Function: Converts electrical power from an outlet into usable


power for the computer's components.
• Importance: Provides stable power to prevent damage to
components.
Parts Of Computer :
● 6. Input Devices

• Function: Allow users to interact with the computer.


• Examples:
• Keyboard: For typing and data entry.
• Mouse: For navigation and selection.
• Scanner: For digitizing physical documents.
Parts Of Computer :
● 7. Output Devices

• Function: Display or output information processed by the


computer.
• Examples:
• Monitor: Displays visual output.
• Printer: Produces hard copies of documents.
• Speakers: Output audio.
Parts Of Computer :
● 8. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

• Function: Handles rendering of images and video, crucial for


gaming and graphic design.
• Importance: Offloads graphical processing from the CPU,
improving performance.
Parts Of Computer :
● 9. Cooling System

• Function: Maintains optimal operating temperatures for


components.
• Types: Air cooling (fans) and liquid cooling systems.
Software
refers to the collection of programs, data, and
instructions that tell a computer how to perform
specific tasks
Parts Of Computer :
● 1. System Software

• Definition: Software designed to manage and control computer


hardware and provide a platform for running application
software.
• Examples:
• Operating Systems (OS): The primary software that manages
computer hardware and software resources. Examples
include: Windows , maOS , Linux.
• Device Drivers: Specialized programs that allow the
operating system to communicate with hardware devices
(e.g., printer drivers).
Parts Of Computer :
● 2. Application Software

• Definition: Software designed to perform specific tasks or


applications for the user.
• Examples:
• Productivity Software: Tools for creating documents,
spreadsheets, and presentations (e.g., Microsoft Office,
Google Workspace).
• Web Browsers: Applications for accessing the internet (e.g.,
Chrome, Firefox).
• Media Players: Software for playing audio and video files
(e.g., VLC Media Player).
• Games: Interactive entertainment software designed for
enjoyment and engagement.
Binary System
● Binary is a numeral system that uses only
two digits: 0 and 1. It is the foundation of
all computing and digital systems, as
computers operate using binary to
represent and process data.
