A computer system consists of various interconnected components that work together, including hardware devices and software programs. It allows users to input data using devices like a keyboard and mouse, process and store the data, and output information using devices like a monitor. The main hardware components are the system unit and peripheral devices for input, output, and storage. Software programs include operating systems and utilities that control the computer, as well as application software for specific tasks.
The different components of a computer system
- 1. The different components of a computer system
- 2. What is a computer? A computer is an electronic device that manipulates information, or data. The system Unit Keyboard Mouse It is called a Computer System: As it is not a single machine but a collection of many devices which work together to perform a task. Monitor
- 4. Parts Of The Computer System
- 5. Users Peoples are the computer operators, also known as users.
- 6. What is hardware? Computer hardware refers to the physical parts or components of a computer All of which are physical objects that can be touched
- 8. What is Peripheral? (External parts of computer) A peripheral is the general term used to describe devices which are externally connected to a computer. Input Devices: used to interact with or send data to the computer e.g. mouse, keyboards, etc… Output Devices: which provides output to the user from the computer e.g. monitors, printers, etc… Storage Devices: which stores data processed by the computer e.g. Hard drives, flash drives, etc… Network devices: 8
- 9. What you put into a computer (input) controls what you get out of it (output). The equipment which you use to put information (called data) into a computer is called input devices. The equipment we use to get out of the computer is called output devices. Activity A. Input and Output devices 1.Here are some input devices. Write the missing letters.

- 16. What is data? DATA is a collection of independent and Unorganized Facts.
- 18. What is information? Information is the processed and Organized data presented in a Meaningful form.
- 19. Information Processing Cycle PROCESSING SYSTEMDATA INFORMATION A computer Primary job is to process these tiny pieces of Data in various ways, Converting them into useful Information
- 20. Raw Data Context Information Process 51,77,58,82,64,70 Test scores achieved by students Average test score is 67%. This shows that the first student’s mark is way below average Process Example:
- 21. Data Information Meaning Data is raw, unorganized facts that need to be processed. Data can be something simple and seemingly random and useless until it is organized. When data is processed, organized, structured or presented in a given context so as to make it useful, it is called Information. Example Each student's test score is one piece of data The class' average score or the school's average score is the information that can be concluded from the given data.
- 22. Functions of an Information Processing System 1. It accepts and gather data (INPUT) 2. It processes data to become information (PROCESSING) 3. It stores data and information (STORE) 4. It presents information (OUTPUT)
- 23. Any information or data that's Entered or sent to the computer to be Processed is considered Input.
- 24. What is output? Any information that has been processed and comes from a Computer or computer device is considered output.
