What is a Computer?

 A computer is an electronic device that can accept data (information),


process it, and generate results (output).
 It can follow a set of instructions (programs) to perform various tasks.
 Computers are used in almost every aspect of our lives, from education
and business to communication and entertainment.
HARDWARE VS. SOFTWARE

Hardware
Refers to the physical components of a computer that
you can see and touch. Examples include the monitor,
keyboard mouse, CPU (central processing unit),
memory, and storage devices.

Software

It's like the brain of the computer. Examples include operating systems
(like Windows or macOS) and applications
(like games, word processors, or web browsers).
INPUT DEVICES

information and instructions to the computer.

Printer: Prints information on paper.
Speakers: Produce sound and audio.
Projector: Projects images and videos onto a larger screen.
 The CPU, also called the processor, is the brain

of the computer.

PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)  It performs calculations, executes instructions,

and manages all the computer's operations.


 The speed of the CPU is measured in GHz (gigahertz)

– the higher the GHz, the faster the computer.
