A computer is a device that

accepts information (in the form of

digitalized data) and manipulates
it for some result based on a
program, software, or sequence of
instructions on how the data is to
be processed.

In computing, an input
device is a piece of equipment

INPUT DEVICES used to provide data and control

signals to an information
processing system, such as a
computer or information appliance.
Examples of input devices include
keyboards, mouse, scanners,
cameras, joysticks, and
microphones

fundamental component of
computerized equipment. It can be

manipulates data by performing

A scanner is a device usually
connected to a computer. Its main
function is to scan or take a picture
of the document, digitize the
information and present it on the
computer screen.
A printer is a device that accepts text
and graphic output from a computer
and transfers the information to
paper, usually to standard-size, 8.5"
by 11" sheets of paper.
A USB drive, also referred to as a
flash drive or memory stick, is a
small, portable device that plugs into
the USB port on your computer. USB
drives are commonly used for
storage, data backup, and
transferring files between devices.
A computer speaker is a piece of
hardware attached to a computer
system used to produce sound.
The computer's sound card has the
signal used to generate the sound
from a computer speaker.
The mouse is a small, movable
device that lets you control a range of
things on a computer. Most types of
mouse have two buttons, and some
will have a wheel in between the
buttons. Most types of mouse
connect to the computer with a cable,
and use the computer's power to
work. Some types of mouse are
wireless.
An uninterruptible power
supply (UPS), also known as a
battery backup, provides backup
power when your regular power
source fails or voltage drops to an
unacceptable level. A UPS allows for
the safe, orderly shutdown of a
computer and connected equipment.
The component of a computer system
that controls the interpretation and
execution of instructions. The CPU of
a PC consists of a single
microprocessor, while the CPU of a
more powerful mainframe consists of
multiple processing devices, and in
some cases, hundreds of them.
 A keyboard is for putting information
including letters, words and numbers
into your computer. You press the
individual buttons on the keyboard
when you type. The number keys
across the top of the keyboard are
also found on the right of the
keyboard. The letter keys are in the
center of the keyboard.
A monitor is an electronic
visual computer display that includes
a screen, circuitry and the case in
which that circuitry is enclosed. Older
computer monitors made use of
cathode ray tubes (CRT), which
made them large, heavy and
inefficient.
