THE COMPUTER
A computer is a device that
manipulates information or
"data." It can store, retrieve,
and process data. You can use
a computer to play games,
send an email, and browse the
Internet. It can also be used
to perform worksheets,
accounting, database
management, presentations,
sharing of videos, and more.
Computers
Simplified
For new users, the
computer at an electronics
store can be quite a
mystery. However,
computers aren't that
mysterious. All types of
computers consist of two
essential parts:
 Hardware
is any part of your computer with a physical structure like a computer
monitor or keyboard.

 Software
is any set of instructions that tells the hardware or another
software what to do. Examples of software are Microsoft Edge,
Mobile Legends, and presentation applications, such as Microsoft
PowerPoint.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPUTERS
When you hear the word "computer," you may think
of a personal computer such as a desktop or
laptop. However, computer machines come in
several shapes and sizes, and they perform many
different functions in our daily lives. When you
watch Netflix using your smart TV, tap your card in
a grocery store, or use a calculator application,
you're using a type of computer.
 Desktop computers

are intended for use at a desk or

table. They are usually more
substantial and more powerful than
other types of personal computers.
Desktop computers are made up of
detachable components. The main
element is called the system unit. It
is typically a rectangular case that
sits on or beneath a desk. Other
components, such as the keyboard,
monitor, and mouse, attach to the
system unit.
 Laptop

It is a battery or AC-powered
computer that is more portable than
desktop computers, allowing you to
use them almost anywhere

Since a laptop is smaller than a

standard PC in size, it's more
challenging to replace the system
components. However, several types
of a laptop are possible to add more
memory or a bigger storage
capacity.

 Server

It is a computer that provides

information to other computers on a
network

Servers also play a vital role in

making the internet work: they are
where web pages are stored. When
you use your browser to visit a site,
a web server delivers the page you
requested. Image 5: A system engineer

 OTHER TYPES OF COMPUTERS
Today, there are different types of devices. Some of them are
specialized computers, even though we don't always think of them
as computers. Here are a few common examples:
Tablet Computers

These use a touch screen for inputting data and navigation.

Since they don't need a mouse or keyboard, tablet computers
are more portable than any computer device. An iPad is an
example of a tablet computer.
Mobile Phones
In some ways, mobile phones can do many
things like a computer, including browsing
the Internet or playing games. These
phones are often called smartphones. A
smartphone is smaller and lighter than a
desktop and laptop. It is considered the
most used device compared to others.

 Game Consoles
A gaming computer (console) is a
dedicated kind of computer that is
intended to play games. Although they
are not designed as a usual computer,
many newer consoles, such as the
Sony PlayStation 5 (an upcoming
Sony's PlayStation 4 successor), allow
you to do non-gaming tasks like
internet browsing.

 Smart TV
Currently, modern TV now includes
applications (apps) that allow you to
access various types of online content.
For example, you can view your
Instagram news feed or watch
streaming movies on Netflix.

 Wearable Devices

is a wearable computer in the

form of a traditional wristwatch.

 VR headset
is a head-mounted device that provides virtual reality
for the user. Virtual reality (VR) is an artificial world
generated by VR devices.
