Introduction
As you can see in the picture, a computer is made of several parts.
monitor

board mouse
The parts of a computerYou will now learn about the basic parts of a computer.
CPU
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit.
The CPU is the most important part of a computer.
It is the brain of a computer. It stores information.
All the parts of a computer are connected to the CPU.
The CPU makes them work.
CPU
Monitor
A computer monitor looks like a television
screen. Just as the CPU is the brain of a
computer, the monitor can be the face of the
computer. The monitor shows whatever you
type or draw on a computer.
Monitor You can also watch movies on it.
Keyboard
A keyboard has many buttons. These are called keys. Some keys are
used to type numbers and words.
You can see on the monitor whatever you type on the keyboard.
KeyboardMouse
The mouse of a computer looks like a real mouse.
The wire attached to it looks like the tail of a real
mouse. Computer mouse
The mouse of a computer usually has two or ga)
more buttons. The mouse is always kept on a 2 >
mouse pad. Real mouse
The mouse is a pointing device. It helps
us to move the pointer from one place to

The mouse pointer
Let us learn about some devices that work with a computer.
Printer
A printer is used for printing information on
paper.
If you type or draw something on a computer,
you can print it on paper with the help of a
printer. These are called printouts.
‘The UPS is normally used with a computer. UPS stands
for Uninterruptible Power Supply. It keeps the computer
working for some time, even after a power cut.Speakers
Speakers help us to listen to the sound which is
played on a computer. You can even hear the voices
while watching movies on a computer.
