3 FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF COMPUTER AND THEIR EXAMPLES

System Unit - acts like the center or core, processing the data and information it receives from input devices.
The System Unit houses the central processing unit, memory modules, expansion slots, and electronic circuitry as
well as expansion cards that are all attached to the motherboard; along with disk drives, a fan or fans to keep
it cool, and the power supply. All other devices monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc., are linked either directly or
indirectly into the system unit.



Input Devices - the one processing the data information. Examples of input devices include keyboards, mouse,
scanners, digital cameras and joysticks.


Output Devices - these are the devices like printers. It receives the system unit's processed information.
Examples of output devices include speakers, headphones, printer and screen/monitor.


3 FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF COMPUTER AND THEIR EXAMPLES

Software - is the collection of instructions, Programming or coding, which we can only see, Feel or can imagine
about its logic. Software gives "intelligence" to the computer. Some examples are; System Software has direct
control and access to your computer hardware, and memory locations. They perform I/O operations on various
memory locations, and control the hardware, to make the application software do a task. Operating system,
are the main examples for system software. Examples are; Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, DOS, BIOS
Software, HD Sector Boot Software, Device Driver Software i.e. Graphics Driver etc., Linker Software, Assembler and
Compiler Software,
Application software run under System Software, and are made to do a specific task i.e. (Word Processing etc),
which have indirect access to the hardware (i.e. Behind System Software). Examples are; Opera (Web
Browser), Microsoft Word (Word Processing), Microsoft Excel (Spreadsheet software), MySQL (Database
Software), Microsoft PowerPoint (Presentation Software),iTunes (Music / Sound Software), VLC Media Player
(Audio / Video Software ), World of Warcraft (Game Software), Adobe Photoshop (Graphics Software)
Hardware - is the Physical component of the Computer system, which we can touch. All physical parts of the
computer (or everything that we can touch) are known as Hardware. Examples are; Keyboard, Image
scanner, Microphone, Pointing device, Graphics tablet, Joystick, Light pen, Mouse, Pointing stick, Touchpad, Touch
screen, Trackball, Webcam, Soft cam, Monitor, Printer, Speakers, Plotter.
People ware - is the user that interfaces between the computer hardware or computer software. It is person
who operates the computer.
SOME COMPONENTS OF COMPUTER
CPU is the most important component of the computer without it a computer is like a car with no fuel. It also known as the
brain of the computer it has two Parts ALU & CU. ALU (Arithmetic & Logic Unit) performs different arithmetic and logical
operations. Whereas CU (Control Unit) controls & co-ordinates different components.

Main Memory is another important component of the computer. A computer needs a memory during processing where
data can store. This memory is RAM (Random Access Memory) which is also called the working area of computer. Data is
fetches by system buses from CPU to RAM.

I/O (Input & Output) devices are those parts of computer which are necessary for giving instructions to the computer and
receiving information/result from computer. These are keyboard, mouse & monitor etc.
