- 10. The CPU is the “brain” of the computer. It processes the instructions from the computer user and manages information throughout the computer system. The CPU is housed in the main computer case to which all other components and parts such as the monitor and the keyboard are connected.
- 11. •Input device/hardware •Storage device/hardware •Output device/hardware
- 12. These are the hardware devices that inputs data into the computer for processing. Keyboard Mouse Joystick Barcode reader Digital camera Touch panel Touch screen Microphone Web camera Modem Scanner
- 13. The keyboard is a device that allows the user to enter information and instructions into a computer. The layout of the keys is mostly similar to a typewriter keyboard.
- 14. A mouse is a small device that allows the user to select and move images on the computer screen. The movement of the mouse along a flat surface like table is reflected by the movement of the mouse cursor or the mouse pointer (an arrow shaped image) on the monitor screen.
- 15. A rod-like device often used by people who play computer games.
- 16. converts images such as photographs into digital images that the computer can manipulate.
- 17. Mostly common in tablet PC, usually require a stylus for accessing it.
- 18. used to input sounds such as the human voice which can activate computer commands in conjunction with voice recognition software.
- 19. inputs images to the computer to communicate with other computer users.
- 20. The modem is a device that allows a given computer to share data or otherwise communicate with another computer through a telephone line.
- 21. Provide permanent storage of information. Internal Hard disk RAM CD ROM Drive DVD ROM Drive External Flash Drive Memory Card CDs, DVDs, BluRay discs Diskettes
- 22. Provides permanent storage of data in the computer.
- 23. Is a form of temporary storage. Today it takes the form of Integrated circuits that allow stored data to be accessed in any order. “Random” refers to the idea that any piece of data can be returned in a constant time, regardless of its physical location and whether or not it is related to the previous piece of data.
- 24. CD Writer - a device used for both reading and writing data to and from a CD.
- 25. DVD (digital versatile disc) - a popular type of removable media that is the same dimensions as a CD but stores up to 6 times as much information. It is the most common way of transferring digital video. DVD-ROM Drive - a device used for reading data from a DVD.
- 26. Acronym for Compact Disk- Read-Only Memory. It is a high-capacity, storage device that uses compact disc technology to store large amounts of information, up to 700 Megabytes (Mb), which is the equivalent of some 300,000 pages of text, on a single disc
- 28. The floppy disk, also called a diskette, is one device that stores data. It is removable and can be transferred between computers. The floppy disk fills the same role in a computer that the cassette does for the stereo.
- 29. They are removable storage device connected to the usb port of a system unit.
- 30. These are the external hardware devices that transfer information from the computer’s CPU to the computer user. Monitor Printer Speaker
- 31. The monitor is a TV screen that displays the text and other instructions inputted by the computer user, as well as the responses generated by the computer itself. LCD monitor (liquid crystal display) CRT monitor (cathode ray tube)
- 32. The printer is an output device hardware that produces a paper copy (also known as hard copy) of the information generated by the computer. This is opposed to information stored in electronic format on the computer itself on devices such as floppy disk and the CD- ROM drive, which is also known as “soft” copy. Remember, hard copy equals physical. Soft copy equals electronics. INKJET, LASER, DOT MATRIX
- 33. Speakers are the hardware components that emit sound from the computer. Computer speakers are generally identical the speakers used in ordinary audio system. One can usually connect regular stereo speakers to a computer and have them work normally.
- 34. it supplies power to run the rest of the computer.
- 35. The AVR is a device connected to the power outlet into which the computer connects its power cord. It protects the computer from damage caused by electrical fluctuation such as power spikes and surges. Such damage can be very destructive; a sudden high power surge can short-circuit the electronic components of your computer and render it useless.
- 36. An uninterruptible power supply, also uninterruptible power source, UPS or battery/flywheel backup, is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source fails.
