COMPUTER AND HARDWARE

COMPUTER

• Definition
A computer is an electronic device that processes and stores information to help us
perform many tasks. It works by receiving instructions from us, processing them, and then
providing the results.
• HOW DOES COMPUTER
WORK
A computer works by following a sequence
of four key processes. First, it receives
information from the user or another source,
which is called input. Then, it manipulates
the data according to specific instructions, a
process known as processing. Next, the
computer stores the data temporarily or
permanently, a step referred to as memory
(or storage). Finally, it delivers the results of
the processed data, which is called output.

(PCB) that connects various components directly or
indirectly. It is the backbone of the computer
system.
2. RAM
RAM (Random Access Memory) is computer
hardware that stores and processes information.
3. Hard disk

which means it permanently stores data and
does not wipe out when the system is shut
down.
4. SSD
A solid-state drive (SSD) is a computer data
storage device based on semiconductors.
5. CPU
CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the core
hardware of the computer system, which
interprets and executes most of the
commands using other computer parts.
B. External Hardware Components
External hardware components are
devices added outside of the computer
case.
1. Monitor
Another computing device, the monitor,
directly connects to the CPU and
displays the output, videos, and other
graphics.
2. Mouse
a mouse is a small device used to move
the cursor on a computer screen. It's
held in your hand and has buttons that
you click to interact with the computer.
3. Keyboard
