MOponents of Computer System

Computer system hardware components include input devices to enter data, processing devices to interpret and manipulate data, storage devices to permanently hold data and programs, output devices to display processed data, and communication devices to connect computers and exchange information. These components work together to allow users to input information, have it processed by the computer's circuitry, stored for later use, output in a meaningful way, and communicated with other systems.

BASIC HARDWARE

COMPONENTS OF COMPUTER
SYSTEM
• HOW DOES THE COMPUTER
WORKS INSIDE THE UNIT
SYSTEM?
• Computer system hardware
components include devices that
perform the functions of input,
processing, data storage; output and
communication.
• The devices responsible for these five
areas are as follows:
•INPUT DEVICES
•OUTPUT DEVICES
•PROCESSING DEVICES
•STORAGE DEVICES
•COMMUNICATION DEVICES
INPUT DEVICES
• Input devices allow you to
enter data or commands in a
form that the computer can
use; they send the data or
commands to the processing
unit.
OUTPUT DEVICES
• Output devices show people the
processed data- information --in
understandable and useful form.
• Input/output devices are playing an
increasingly significant role in our lives.
The number and variety of input/output
devices are expanding.
• An output device is any peripheral that
receives data from a computer, usually for
display, projection, or physical
reproduction.
• For example, the image shows an inkjet
printer, an output device that make a hard
copy of anything shown on the monitor.
Monitors and printers are two of the most
commonly used output devices used with a
computer.
PROCESSING DEVICES
• Processing devices are the computer
electronic circuitry housed in the system
unit.
• A processing device is any device inside a
computer that interprets and
manipulates incoming data during this
stage.
STORAGE DEVICES
Secondary storage that can store data
and programs outside the computer
itself.
Storage devices hold data, information,
and programs permanently.
COMMUNICATION DEVICES
• Provide connections between the computer
and communications networks and enable
computer users to communicate and to
exchange data, information, and programs
with other computers.
• Cables, telephone lines, satellites,
and cellular radio.
• A widely used
• communications device is a
modem.
