MODULE 2: COMPUTER AND

ITS COMPONENTS
In this lesson, we will learn about the four basic units of computer and its function. We
will also identify the different devices on each unit and we will learn how computer
performs irrespective of its size and make.

1. Input Unit – this is used to enter data and programs into the computer system for processing.
2. Storage Unit – the storage unit is used for storing data and instructions before and after processing.
3. Central Processing Unit (CPU) – it performs two operations which is arithmetic and logical operations.
The central processing unit takes the data and instructions from the storage unit and makes all sorts of
calculations based on the instructions given and the type of data provided.
4. Output Unit – the output unit is used to display the information produced by the computer after processing.

CLASSIFICATION OF DIFFERENT COMPUTER DEVICES

INPUT DEVICES
An input device is any device that provides input to computer. There are many input devices, but the two most
common ones are keyboard and mouse.

OUTPUT DEVICES
Output device receives information from the CPU and presents it to the user in the desired form. The output is
usually produced in one of the two ways – on the display device, or on a paper (hard copy).
