Basic Parts of Computer

The document describes the main parts of a computer system. It is divided into sections on input devices (keyboard, mouse, joystick, digital camera), the processing device (central processing unit or CPU), output devices (monitor, printer, speakers) and storage devices (hard disk, diskette, compact disc). The CPU is described as the "brain" that tells all the other parts what to do. Input devices like the keyboard and mouse are used to give instructions to the computer. The monitor, printer and speakers are output devices used to see and hear the computer's work. Storage devices like the hard disk, diskettes and CDs are used to save the computer's work.

A computer is made up of different parts. These parts work together to do their specific tasks. These parts are called “devices”
PARTS OF COMPUTER INPUT DEVICES • KEYBOARD • MOUSE • JOYSTICK • DIGITAL CAMERA PROCESSING DEVICE OUTPUT DEVICES • MONITOR • PRINTER • SPEAKERS STORAGE DEVICES • HARD DISK • DISKETTE • COMPACT DISC (CD)
INPUT DEVICES
INPUT DEVICES KEYBOARD - looks like a typewriter. - It has many buttons. - the buttons on a keyboard are called “keys” - you use the keyboard to type letters, numbers, and symbols
MOUSE - it allows you to control the movement of an on-screen pointer. - when you move the mouse, the cursor will also move. - you can use the mouse to tell the computer what to do.
