Computers are everywhere, and vary in specification, brands, sizes, shaped, and prices. However, there is one common characteristic among all computer systems.
Whether we are talking standalone home pc, high performance networked servers, Unix computers, Linux, Windows, or Macs, they all have five main components: Input device, Output device, Central Processing Unit, Memory, and Storage device.
Here is a listing of these parts and what they do:
1. The input device is used to enter the data into the computer. Examples of input devices are: Keyboards, Scanners, or light pens.
2. The output device is used to redirect the processed data to a device connected the output connection of the computer. Examples of output devices are: Monitors, Printers.
3. The Central Processing Unit is where the computer processes data and coordinates tasks among different components of the computer.
