THE PARTS OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND THEIR USES

Before I start discussing the parts of the computer I will like to define computer in my own understanding.

Computer is an electronic device that is capable of accepting data, stores information as a soft copy based on instruction or users command.

This device has different parts which includes the following:

·     Monitor

·     Mouse

·     Keyboard

·     C.P.U (Central processing unit)

·     Speaker

·     Printer

·    Monitor: It can also be referred to as the computer screen. It is the part of the computer system that displays all the command or information given to the computer as instructed by the user.

·     Mouse: This is a basic part of the computer that helps the user to communicate and instruct the computer on the choice he/she make.

·     Keyboard: This play the same role as the mass but the only thing that differentiates these two components of the computer is that the keyboard is use to input keys or words into the computer but the mouse is use to point and click and select items you want to work with.

·     C.P.U: This is the part I refer to as the brain of a computer in the sense that it has the able to store and interpret every information it’s receive from other parts of the computer. the c.p.u is made of different parts such as the processor, motherboard, CD Rom, optical drive etc.

·  Speaker: I call it a sound magnifier because it helps to magnify or increase the sounds that take place in the computer system by outputting the sound.

·  Printer: This component is used to produce soft copy of information in the system therefore converting it to a hard copy (which means that you can feel or touch it).
