TAKE NOTE:
• DATA IS ANY COLLECTION OF NUMBERS, CHARACTERS OR SYMBOLS THAT HAS BEEN CODED
INTO A FORMAT THAT CAN INPUT INTO A COMPUTER AND PROCESSED.
• DATA ON ITS OWN HAS NO MEANING OR CONTEXT.
• IT IS ONLY AFTER PROCESSING BY A COMPUTER THAT DATA TAKES ON A CONTEXT AND BECOMES
INFORMATION.
WHAT IS COMPUTER NETWORK?
Computer network refers
to interconnected computing
devices that can exchange data
and share resources with each
other. These networked devices
use a system of rules, called
communications protocols, to
transmit information over physical
or wireless technologies.
WHAT ARE THE BASIC
COMPONENTS OF A COMPUTER?
Case
The computer case is
the metal and plastic box
that contains the main
components of the
computer, including the
motherboard, central
processing unit (CPU),
and power supply. The
front of the case usually
has an On/Off
button and one or
more optical drives.
Power Supply
The power supply unit in
a computer converts the
power from the wall
outlet to the type of
power needed by the
computer.
It sends power through
cables to the
motherboard and other
components.
It connects the CPU,
memory, hard drives,
optical drives, video
The motherboard serves card, sound card, and
as a single platform to
connect all of the parts other ports and
of a computer together. expansion cards directly
or via cables. It can be
considered as the
backbone of a
computer.
It holds together many of the crucial
components of a computer,
including the central processing
unit (CPU), memory and
connectors for input and output
devices

MOTHERBOARD
What it does:
Think of the motherboard as
the glue that holds everything
else together.
A motherboard is a circuit
board through which all the
different components of a
computer communications
and it keeps everything
together. The input and
output devices are plugged
into the motherboard for
function.

CENTRAL PROCESSING
UNIT (CPU)
What it is: The CPU is
often called the "brain"
of a computer, thanks
to its direct plug
connection to the
motherboard, and
communication with all
of the computer’s other
components.
MEMORY
CENTRAL PR0 CESSING UNIT (CPU) UNIT
What it does?
HDDs are made of an actual
disk onto which data is stored.
The disk is read by a mechanical
arm. (HDDs are cheaper than
SSDs, but are slowly becoming
more and more obsolete.)
Here is a complete list of computer parts and their functions:
• Motherboard: The motherboard is the main board that is screwed into the
computer case directly. Its function is to connect all of the components so
that they may communicate and work together.
⚬ Input Unit: The main function of the input unit is to send commands
and transfer data into computers. Later, the data gets processed by the
computer’s CPU which generates output. For example, a laptop’s
keyboard is an input device.
⚬ Output Unit: The computer’s response is relayed through output
devices in the form of a visual response (monitor), sound (speakers), or
media devices (CD or DVD drives). The function of these devices is to
convert the machine’s response into a format that the computer user
can understand.
Here is a complete list of computer parts and their functions:
o Central Processing Unit (CPU): The CPU can be regarded as a computer’s brain. On a
computational level, it processes all of the data. It reads data from the RAM and
processes it in order for the computer to do the tasks it is programmed to do. (Memory
Unit, Control Unit, and Arithmetical & Logical Unit
o Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): GPU is a specialized processor that is created to
accelerate graphics processing. It can render many pieces of data making them ideal for
machine learning, video editing, and gaming.
o Random Access Memory (RAM): RAM is a form of data storage that allows for faster
read and write operations. RAM is also volatile, which means that if the power goes out,
it loses all of the data it has stored.
o Storage Unit: This device stores all the data and the instructions required for
processing. It keeps intermediate results of processing.
