Device Device
Process Storage
Device Device
A. INPUT DEVICES are composed of a device that accepts data and instructions
from the user or from another computer system.
A.1. Keyboard
A computer keyboard is an input device used to enter characters and
functions into the computer system by pressing buttons, or keys. It is the
primary device used to enter text.
A.2. Mouse
The mouse is another input device used to point and select objects on the
computer monitor. Using the mouse and keyboard in combination allows the
computer user substantial latitude in how to accomplish a wide variety of tasks.
A.3. Scanner
A scanner is use to capture a source document and converts printed data or
images into an electronic data format that a computer can store or process as
required.
9
A.4. Microphone
Microphone is used to input sound that is then stored in a digital form. It is used
for various applications such as adding sound to a multimedia presentation or
for mixing music
B. OUTPUT DEVICE is any piece of computer hardware that displays results after
the computer has processed the input data that has been entered.
B.1. Monitor
A monitor is an electronic visual computer display that includes a screen,
circuitry, and the case in which that circuitry is enclosed.
B.2. Printer
The printer is a device use to print texts and pictures.
B.3. Speaker

C.1. Motherboard / Mainboard / System Board – is the main circuit board of a
computer. It contains all the circuits and components that run the computer.
C.2. CPU (Central Processing Unit) - The processor is the main “brain” or
“heart” of a computer system. It performs all of the instructions and
calculations that are needed and manages the flow of information through a
computer.
C.3. RAM – (Random Access Memory) RAM is volatile, meaning it holds data
only when the power is on. When the power is off, RAM's contents are lost.
C.4. Video Card/GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) - also called a display card,
graphics card, display adapter, or graphics adapter is an expansion card
which generates a feed of output images to a display device (such as
a computer monitor).
SYSTEM UNIT
The system unit, also known as a "tower" or "chassis," is the main part of a
desktop computer. It encloses the motherboard, CPU, RAM, video card, and other
internal components.

coolant, where it is dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing
regulation of the device's temperature.
c. Optical Drive - An optical drive is a storage device that uses lasers to read
data on the optical media. There are three types of optical drives: Compact
Disc (CD), Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) and Blu-ray Disc (BD).
D. STORAGE DEVICE stores data and programs. These hold data, information,
and programs permanently.
Floppy Disk

D.1.2. Floppy Disk - is a removable data storage magnetic medium that housed
in a rigid plastic cartridge measuring 3.5 inches square and about
2millimeters thick. Also called a "3.5-inch diskette," it can store up to
1.44 megabytes (MB) of data.
12
D.2.2. CD (Compact Disc) - also called optical disc is a nonmagnetic,
polished metal disk used to store digital information. The disc is read by
the CD- ROM.
D.2.3. DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) - an optical disc technology with a 4.7
gigabyte storage capacity on a single-sided, one-layered disk, which is
enough for a 133-minute movie.
www.google.com
D.3.3. USB flash drive - is a plug-and-play portable storage device that uses
flash memory and is lightweight enough to attach to a key chain. A USB
drive can be used in place of a floppy disk, Zip drive disk, or CD.

2. Software – this term refers to the collection of electronic instructions that tells the
computer what to do. It is a computer program that is installed in your computer.
The diagram below shows the classification of software.
Software
A.1. Operating System – is the program that, after being initially loaded into
computer by a boot program, manages all the other programs in a computer.
Examples– Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Ubuntu
www.google.com
A.2. Utility Programs – are small, powerful programs with a limited capability,
they are usually operated by the user to maintain a smooth running of the
computer system.
14
B. Application Software is a computer program that performs a specific task.
(Application software examples – MS Office, OpenOffice, Media Players, MS
Access, educational software, media development software, Antivirus software,
etc.)

3. Peopleware – the most important element of a
computer system is its users. The following types of people interact with a computer
system:
a. System Analysts - are people who design the operation and processing of
the system
b. System Programmers – are people who write codes and programs to
implement the working of the system.
c. System Operators – are people who operate the system and use it for
different purposes. Also called the end users like students, teachers, and other
professionals.
INPUT – in this step, data are entered into the computer through input devices,
such as keyboard and mouse.
PROCESS – is the computer’s method of analyzing, managing, or manipulating
data. The data entered into the computer undergo changes. The Central
Processing Unit (CPU) directs the operation of the input and output
devices to create the needed information.
OUTPUT – You get the output once the computer is finished processing the data.
It could be displayed on the monitor, printed on paper, or heard
through speakers.
15
STORAGE – The processed data are kept for future use. We use Hard Disk Drive
to store the information.

b. MS Excel – is a spreadsheet program ideal for entering, calculating, and
analyzing numeric data such as sales figures, sales taxes, and students’
grades.
www.google.com
c. MS PowerPoint – is a presentation tool that uses graphical approach to
presentation in the form of slides. Its primary function is to help a
presenter deliver its presentation effectively.
