1st 10 Flashcards
is an electronic device,
operating under the control of instructions
stored in its own memory
processes and manipulates data according
to a set of instructions
It performs various operations such as
calculations, data storage, communication,
and more.
computer
this is a computer input and Raw facts and figures that can be processed are called blank
the output obtained after processing it based
on the user instruction is called blank
data
information
it refers to the physical parts of
all components of a computer such as the
monitor the mouse the keyboard the
computer data storage the hard disc drive
(HDD) the system unit the graphics card
sound cards memory motherboard etc.
all of which are physical objects that can
be touched
hardware
are hardware components or
peripherals that allow users to interact with
and provide data or instructions to a
computer or other electronic devices.
These devices enable users to input
information, commands, or actions into a
computer system.
this play a crucial role in the overall
functionality of computers and other digital
systems
Input devices
this are hardware components
or peripherals that display or present
information, data, or results generated by
a computer or electronic device.
They allow users to see, hear, or otherwise
perceive the output produced by the
system.
these are essential for conveying
the processed information to users in a
human-readable or sensory format.
hardware devices
Generally refers to the main housing or
enclosure of a desktop computer or tower
computer.
It is the box-like structure that contains and
protects the central processing unit (CPU),
motherboard, memory (RAM), storage
devices, power supply unit (PSU), and
various other internal components that
make up a computer system.
- This is a critical component of a
computer and houses the hardware
necessary for the computer to function.
system unit
Blank memory also known as main
memory
blank is a crucial component in a
computer’s architecture. It serves as temporary storage for data and
instructions that are actively being
used or processed by the computer’s
central processing unit (CPU).
Primary memory or RAM (Random Access
Memory)
also known as auxiliary memory or external
memory, is a type of computer memory that
provides non-volatile storage for data and
program
Secondary Memory
refers to a collection of programs, data,
and instructions that enable a computer or
electronic device to perform specific tasks or
functions. It is a non-tangible component of a
computer system that plays a fundamental role in
controlling, managing, and enhancing the
hardware’s capabilities.
Software
is a category of software that
serves as an intermediary between computer
hardware and application software.
- It is responsible for managing and controlling the
computer’s hardware resources, providing a
stable and user-friendly environment, and
facilitating the execution of software applications. - this plays a crucial role in ensuring
that a computer system operates efficiently and
effectivel
