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.
17
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

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.
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.
www.google.com
Other Internal Components of the System Unit
a. Power Supply Unit (PSU) - Installed in the back corner of the PC
case, next to the motherboard. It converts 220/110vac (standard house
power) into DC voltages that are used by other components in the PC.
b. Heat sink (also commonly spelled heatsink) - is a
passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an
electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid
19
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
DVD USB Flash Drive

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
System Application
Software Software
Operating Utility
System Programs
Kinds of Computer 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
22
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.
www.google.com
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
23
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.
STORAGE – The processed data are kept for future use. We use Hard Disk
Drive to store the information.

IV. Common Computer Applications Used in
Performing Computer Related Duties
www.google.com
b. MS Excel – is a spreadsheet
program ideal for entering, calculating, and analyzing numeric data
such as sales figures, sales taxes,
and students’ grades.

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.
