FUNDAMENTALS OF
COMPUTERS
A Brief Introduction

Computer is an electronic device which takes the input as a

raw material, process upon them and convert that material into the
output. Here input is called data and output is called information.

Important Facts to Remember

IT contain four parts.

Memory is used to store data.
CPU is used for processing.
Mouse and keyboard are input devices.
Monitor and plotter are output devices.
