DEFINITION OF COMPUTER
Computer is an electronic device which is designed to
work with information given by us. It is derived from
word Computare which means to Calculate
Programmable machine.

FEATURE/ CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPUTER


Speed (गति)

Accuracy (शुद्धता) Exact word

Diligence (लगन) Never get tried

Versatile (अनेक गुणों का) so much work in one time

Strong capability (भंडार क्षमता)

Power of remembering (याद रखने की शक्ति)


Computer has no feeling and no IQ (Intelligence
Quotient)

CHARLES BABBAGE (1791-1871)


He was born in London Dec 26 1791, that day also
known as the name of St Stephen’s day. He designed
on 1837, it’s also known as Analytical Engine .
Charles Babbage also known as the father of computer
Mechanical Engine (जो हाथों से चलता है)
Computer word comes form computare it means to calculate. it
comes form a old Latin word.

Part of a Computer
MOUSE:  It is used for making selections. There
are
Two buttons on a mouse right and left right button
use for their properties and left button use for
making selections. It is also having a wheel in the
centre that help us to scroll up and down
M - Manually हाथ से
O - Operated काम करनेवाला
U - Use for इस्तेमाल किया जाता है
S - Selecting चुना
E - Equipment’s उपकरण
KEYBOARD: It is used for entering data,
generating commands. The keyboard layout is similar
to a typewriter with addition keys for other function.
It has up to 104 to 110 keys on it.
Types of keys
* Alphabetical Keys (A To Z)

* Numerical Keys (0-9)

* Arrow Keys

* Function keys

* Cursor Keys- Page up/down

* Modifier Keys (shift, ctrl, alt)

K - Keys
E - Electronic
Y - Yet
B - Board
O - Operating
A - A to Z
R - Response
D - Directly

MONITOR: It display information to the user. It is


the visual component of the computer. this is also
like a television.
SPEAKER: It is the audio component of the
computer.
CPU: (Central Processing Unit) it is a primary
component of a computer that process instructions. It
runs the operating system and application, constantly
receiving input from the user or active software
programs. It process the data and process output,
which
May stored by an application or displayed on the
screen.

RAM: [Random access memory] It has temporary


memory is volatile in nature.

ROM: [Read only memory] Non-volatile modification


EPROM [Erasable program read only memory] type of
memory chip that retain its data when power supply is
gets off.
MOTHER: It controls the functions of all
components.

PROCESSOR: It act as an engine in the computer


speed of computer depends on the speed of
processor.

ALU: (Arithmetic logic unit) its work for calculating


the sum, multiplication, division, etc. arithmetic &
logical operating.

CU: (control Unit) It works as the nerves system of


computer. It coordinates & manage the entire
computer system. It is connect in CPU.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROM & RAM


RAM ROM
 It can be easily altered or  It cannot be easily altered
reprogramed or preprogramed
 It’s data is lost when power
 It data remain in computer
when power gets off
gets off
 It is non-volatile in nature
 It is volatile in nature  EPROM[ Erasable
 It allows reading and writing programmable read only
memory

PRINTER: To develop hard copy or paper copy of a


data or document 1-Picture.
Two types of printer
Impact printer: They make contact with paper.
The print image by pressing an inked ribbon against
the paper using pins. They usually print in black &
white.
Types of impact printer
