Two Additional Function May be Present.
5. Data Communication
6. Data Preparation

Classification of Computer
System
 Computers are available in different shapes, sizes and weights, due to these
different shapes and sizes they perform different sorts of jobs from one another
 Here we are going to introduce different classifications of computers one by one.
We will discuss what are in classifications and what job they perform
1. Supper Computer
2. Large-scale computer
3. Medium-Scale Computer
4. Mini Computer
5. Micro Computer
6. Laptop Computer
7. Communication Technology
Communication Technology
