In this presentation we will be talking

about, what is needed to make a

computer work and its components,
a few programs and software, whilst
understanding the difference
between software and hardware.
 Computer

A computer is an electronic device that can carry out

tasks using software or a set of instructions. It can
perform a broad range of tasks, from basic calculations
to complex problem-solving and data analysis, and it
can receive, process, store, and output data. Modern
society cannot exist without computers, which have an
impact on nearly every facet of daily life, including
business, healthcare, education, and entertainment.

A functioning computer needs, A CPU to carry out tasks, RAM is
needed to store temporary data, storage devices (HDDs or
SSDs) are needed to store data, and a motherboard is needed
to connect the various parts of the computer. Input and output
devices (keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers), a power supply
unit (PSU), and an operating system (OS) to manage resources
and enable user interface are also required.
Programs are software that instruct computers on how to perform specific tasks.

The term "hardware" describes the actual parts of a computer
system, including the motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard drives, mouse,
and keyboard. These are actual objects that you can see and touch.
The physical framework that offers processing power and storage
capacity is called hardware.

Contrarily, software is a group of guidelines, facts, or applications that

run computers and carry out particular functions. Since it is
intangible, you are unable to touch it. Software consists of utilities,
programs, and operating systems such as Windows and macOS.
Examples of software include Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop.
The software provides instructions to the hardware, allowing the
computer to carry out a variety of tasks.
