Computer hardware

the keyboard

In computer keyboard is a peripheral input device or in part inspired by the keyboard of the typewriter, which uses an arrangement of buttons or keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches that send information to the computer the mouse Is a pointing device used to facilitate the handling of a graphical environment on a computer. It is usually made of plastic and is used with one hand. Detects relative movement in two dimensions by the flat surface on which it rests, usually reflected through a pointer or arrow on the monitor. the monitor The computer monitor or computer screen, although it is commonly called "screen" is an output device, using an interface shows the results of processing a computer. horns allow us to hear different kinds of sounds emitted by the computer, which sometimes indicate something in particular. Printer A printer is a computer peripheral that allows you to produce a permanent copy of text or graphics of documents stored in electronic form, print them on physical media, usually paper or transparencies, using ink or laser technology. CPU The central processing unit or CPU (the acronym for central processing unit), or just the processor or microprocessor, is the component of computer and other programmable devices, which interprets the instructions contained in programs and processes data.

WHAT IS A COMPUTER

what is a computer? A computer is an electronic machine which can accept data in a certain form, process the data, and give the results of the processing format as information. first, data is fed into the computer's memory. then, when the program is run, then computer performs a set of instructions and processes the data. finally, we can see the results (the output) on the screen or in printed form a computer system consists of two parts: hardware and software. hardware is any electronic or mechanical part you can see or touch . software is a set of instructions, called program, which tells the computer what to do. there are three basic hardware sections: the cemtral procesing unit (CPU) main memory and peripheralsperhaps the most influential component is the central processing unit. its function is to execute program instructions and coordinate the activities of all the other units. in a way, it is the `brain` of the computer. the main memory (a collection of ran chips ) holds the instructions and data which are being processed by the CPU. peripherals are the physical units attached to the computer. they include storage devices and input/output devices storage devices (hard drive, DVD drives or flash drives) provide a permanent storage of both data and programs.disk drives are used to read and write data on disks input devices enable datato go into the computer s memory. The most common input devices are the mouse and the keyboard. output devices enable us to extract the finished product from the system. For example, the computer shows the output on the monitor or prints the results onto paper by means of a printer. On the rear panel of the computer there are several ports into which we can plug a wide range of peripherals-a modem, a digital camera, a scanner, etc

They allow communication between the computer and the devices. Modern desktop PCs have USB port and memory card readers on the front panel.

CONCLUSION

Us as a team we came to the conclusion that the computer makes everyday life easierbecause we can communicate through the network, do work easily. also the input and output peripherals are major components of a computer because these are part of this. so the human being in the course of time to improve these components for everyday use.
