 A computer is an electronic device that
performs tasks based on instructions given by
the user. The computer system works starting
with the data entered by the user, then the
computer processes the data and produces the
output. A computer system is composed of
hardware and software.

 Basic Components of a
Computer

Hardware – tangible or
physical part that
performs the various
tasks of the computer.

 HARDW
ARE
Examples of Input Devices:
Input devices – used to enter ● Keyboard ● Web Camera
data such as text, images or ● Microphone ● Mouse
pictures, audio or sounds, ● Gamepad ● Trackball
and video. ● Scanner ● Joystick

Output Devices – use to

Examples of Output Devices
display and alter data in the
● Monitor ● Speaker
computer
● Printer ● Headset

 ● Motherboard
● Clock
Processing - ● Power Supply
● Chip Set
This is responsible for all primary
● Battery
functions of data management. The
● Lan cards
processor requires components that
support it with the management of data ● Data Bus
to operate. ● Memory
● Video cards
● Address Bus
● Hard disk drive

● Ports and Wire

 Software
These are instructions that tell the
computer how it should do its
work. They process data into
usable information.
 Computer software can be classified into the
following categories:

1. Operating System - is the basic software responsible for

interacting with the hardware. It helps the user to enter programs or
data, store them in files, and execute programs. Examples of
Operating systems are Windows, UNIX, XENIX, HP –UX and
AIX, Apache, and Disk Operating System.

2. User Program- computer programming languages are

FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, C, C++, Java

3. Application Programs - Popular example of application

software is the Microsoft Office suite which includes word, excel,
PowerPoint, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox are examples of

Ergonomics
is the study of how a person’s work environment and tools
affect the person. A person who designs workspaces and tools
that help people do their jobs and use their tools comfortably
and safely is called ergonomist. There are ergonomic keyboard,
The Keyboard
The importance of learning keyboarding skill enables the
user to the proper placement of the keys. Each button is
designed to control the different parts such as:

1. Function keys – represented by the most common F1

key. Each function key provides instructions to the
computer for a certain task.

2. Special keys are those we used the most like the delete
key and backspace key.
3. Numeric keys – represented by numbers and
special keys like (), @, &,%, and #.

4. Pointing keys – these are used to move from

different directions

5. Lock keys – used rarely on documents

6. Numeric keypad – used to enter a number

from 0 to 9-
