The

Computer System
 Definition
A computer system is a set of integrated devices that
input, output, process, and store data and
information. Computer systems are currently built
around at least one digital processing device. There
are five main hardware components in a computer
system: Input, Processing, Storage, Output and
Communication devices.
DATA
-Consist of raw facts represented with help of characters such as alphabets, digits, special characters.
Information
-Organizedor classified data which has some meaningful values for the receiver .

-Processed data on which decisions and actions are based .

Computer system
- A set of integrated devices that input, output, process, and store data and information.

 Parts of a computer
HARDWARE
-All physical and tragible parts of computer.
• INPUT DEVICES- Permit the user to communicate with the computer.
• OUTPUT DEVICES- Release/displays the process data.
• SORAGE MEDIA- Where the data and instruction are stored.
1.Primary- or mainmemory,stores information for a brief amount of time.
Example: RAM, Cache memory , ROM.
2.Secondary- Stores large amount of data for extended periods of time.
Example:Hard drives, Diskettes.
• CENTRAL PROCESSING- Where the the conversion and processing of data is done.
SOFTWARE
-A set of instructions or program that tell a computer how to perform a specific task.
• SYSTEM SOFTWARE
-Collection of programs design to operate, control, or extend processing capabilities of a computer.
• APPLICATION SOFTWARE
-Design to satisfy a particular need of particular environment.

 MEMORY CAPACITY

-The amount of data which can be stored in a storage unit

Bit is a binary digit,
EIGHT BITS, CAN STORE
either 0 or 1, smallest
255 CHARACTERS.

• KILOBYTE (KB)-1 KB = 1024BYTES

• MEGABYTE (MB)-1 MB= 1024 KB

• GIGABYTE (GB)-1 GB=1024 MB

• TERABYTE (TB)- 1TB =1024 GB

• PETABYTE (PB)-1PB =1024 TB

-1024 TERABYTES, OR MILLION GIGABYTE

 FIRST GENERATION
First generation computers relied on machine language, the lowest-level programming language understood by
computers, to perform operations, and they could first-generationonly solve one problem at a time. Input was
based on punched cards and paper tape, and output was displayed on printouts. The UNIVAC and ENIAC
computers are examples of first-generation computing devices. The UNIVAC was the first commercial computer
delivered to a business client, the US. Census bureau in 1951.
