CONCEPTS OF
COMPUTER
• HARDWARE
• SOFTWARE
• ALGORITHMS
COMPUTER HARDWARE
- Refers to the physical and mechanical
components of a computer

- It consists of devices such as circuits boards,

chips, monitors, disks, disks drives, modems,
keyboard and printers.
 INPUT
STORAGE

Functions of Hardware PROCESS

OUTPUT
INPUT
• Can be built into the computer, like the keyboard in a
laptop, or it can be connected to the computer by a cable.

• Ex. Trackballs, touch pad, joysticks, light pen, game

controllers, scanner barcode readers, video and digital
cameras, microphone and so on
STORAGE
•Refers to the ability of computers to store
and retain data in memory

•Ex. RAM Random-Access memory, Hard

Disk, USB Flash Drive, Optical Disc
PROCESS
•Computers non only remember
information, but also process data.

Data Processing

-is defined as the conversation of

data from one format to another.
OUTPUT
• We can feed instructions to computers, there
are also ways for computers to communicate
to the outside world, beginning with you.

• Ex. monitor, speakers and printers.

 MONITOR
•screen that displays what is
PARTS OF THE going on in the computer
PC
Mouse
let you feed instructions to the computer
by simply pointing and clicking in a
graphical environment.

Keyboard
main input device for most computers
• Motherboard– main circuit have a direct or
indirect connection to the motherboard.

• Main Memory/RAM – allows

computers to store and retain
information

• System Case – casing

 Processor– brain of the computer that
handles the flow of all data.

• Floppy Disk Drive– perhaps the

slowest form of long term- secondary
storage for the computer is floppy
disk with 1.44 MB disk drive.

• Hard disk – storage device that holds the

operating system and other programs
 • Video/ Graphics Card– onboard video chipsets
which should be enough for most users.
• Use in graphics-intensive applications such as
playing video games, editing pictures and movies
and etc.

• Sound Card – converts data into

sound to be sent to speakers or
converts sounds to digital formats.

• Cable Connectors – used to communicate with the

motherboard and other components of the computer.
• Printer

• CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive.
Reads CDs or DVDs
• Power Supply

• Network Card/Modem – LAN of WIFI

COMPUTER SOFTWARE
- Computer program

- Refers to the instructional information that directs the

activities of the computer hardware or helps the user
control the hardware components of the computer.

- Word processors, databases, spreadsheets, e-mail

programs, web browsers and everything else the computer
runs and executes are all kinds of software.
Types of software and their applications
Office Productivity Tool

 Microsoft Word
 Microsoft Excel
 Microsoft PowerPoint
 Microsoft Access
 Microsoft Outlook
 Microsoft Publisher
 Microsoft One Note
COMPUTER ALGORITHMS
- Well-defined procedures to solve a problem.

- Derived from “algorism” which refers to the rules for

performing arithmetic.

- Flowchart, heuristic technique

- Artificial intelligence
