#1 The Parts of a Computer System

Computers come in many varieties, from the tiny computers built

into household appliances, to the astounding supercomputers that
have helped scientists map the human genome. But no matter
how big it is or how it is used, every computer is part of a
system. A complete computer system consists of four parts
>> Hardware
>>Software
>>Data
>>User

Hardware The mechanical devices that make up the computer

are called hardware. Hard* ware is any part of the computer you
can touch. A computer’s hardware consists of interconnected
electronic devices that you can use to control the computer’s
operation, input, and output. (The generic term device refers to
any piece of hardware.)

The information processing cycle has four parts, and each part
involves one or more specific components of the computer:

» Input. During this part of the cycle, the computer accepts data
from some source, such as the user or a program, for processing.
» Processing. During this part of the cycle, the computer’s
processing components perform actions on the data, based on
instructions from the user or a program.

» Output. Here, the computer may be required to display the

results of its processing. For example, the results may appear as
text, numbers, or a graphic on the computer’s screen or as sounds
from its speaker. The computer also can send output to a printer
or transfer the output to another computer through a network or
the Internet. Output is an optional step in the information
processing cycle but may be ordered by the user or program.

» Storage. In this step, the computer permanently stores the

results of its processing on a disk, tape, or some other kind of
storage medium. As without put, storage is optional and may not
always be required by the user or program.

Essential Computer Hardware A computer’s hardware devices

fall into one of four categories:
1. Processor
2. Memory
3. Input and output
4. Storage

Common hardware that you might find connected to the outside

of a computer, although many tablets, laptops, and net books
integrate some of these items into their housings:

 Monitor
A monitor is a piece of computer hardware that displays
the video and graphics information generated by a
connected computer through the computer's video card.

 Keyboard
The keyboard is the piece of computer hardware used to
input text, characters, and other commands into a
computer or similar device.

 Mouse
The mouse, sometimes called a pointer, is a hand-
operated input device used to manipulate objects on a
computer screen.

 Flash drive
A flash drive is a small, ultra-portable storage device
which, unlike an optical drive or a traditional hard drive,
has no moving parts.
  Printer
A printer is a device that accepts text and graphic output
from a computer and transfers the information to paper

 Speakers
A speaker is someone who delivers a speech or a device
that makes sounds louder. The speaker gave a great
speech but you couldn't hear it because the speaker was
turned off.

List of Computer Hardware’s

Here are some common individual computer hardware
components that you'll often find inside a modern computer.
These parts are almost always found inside the computer case, so
you won't see them unless you open the computer:

 Motherboard
The motherboard serves to connect all of the parts of a
computer together. The CPU, memory, hard drives, and
other ports and expansion cards all connect to the
motherboard directly or via cables.

 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The central processing unit (CPU) is the computer
component that's responsible for interpreting and
executing most of the commands from the computer's
other hardware and software.

 Random Access Memory (RAM)

Random Access Memory, or RAM (pronounced as
ramm), is the physical hardware inside a computer that
temporarily stores data, serving as the computer's
"working" memory.

 Power Supply Unit (PSU)

The power supply unit is the piece of hardware that
converts the power provided from the outlet into usable
power for the many parts inside the computer case.

 Video card
The video card is an expansion card that allows the
computer to send graphical information to a video display
device such as a monitor, TV, or projector.

 Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

 The hard disk drive is the main, and usually most
substantial, data storage hardware device in a computer.
The operating system, software titles, and most other files
are stored on the hard disk drive.

 Solid-State Drive (SSD)

Solid state refers to electronic circuitry that is built
entirely of semiconductors. The term was originally used
to define those electronics, such as a transistor radio that
used semiconductors rather than vacuum tubes in its
construction.

 Optical disk drive (e.g., BD/DVD/CD drive)

Optical drives retrieve and/or store data on optical discs
like CDs, DVDs, and BDs (Blu-ray discs), any of which
hold much more information than previously available
portable media options like the floppy disk.
E. Discussing New Discussion #2. The teacher will discuss what computer software
Concept and is.
Practicing New skills ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#2
Software is a set of instructions that makes the computer
perform tasks. In other words, software tells the computer what
to do. (The term program refers to any piece of software.) Some
programs exist primarily for the computer's use to help if
perform tasks and manage its own resources. Other types of
programs exist for the user, enabling him or her to perform tasks
such as creating documents. Thousands of different software
programs are available for use on personal computers

System Software
System software is any program (hat controls the computer’s
hardware or that can be used to maintain the computer in some w
ay so that it runs more efficiently. There are three basic types of
system software:

» An operating system tells the computer how to use its own

components. Examples of operating systems include Windows,
the Macintosh Operating System, and Linux. An operating
system is essential for any computer because it acts as an
interpreter between the hardware, application programs, and the
user
When a program wants the hardware to do something, it
communicates through the operating system. Similarly, when
you want the hardware to do something (such as copying or
printing a file), your request is handled by the operating system.
 » A network operating system allows computers to communicate
and share data across a network while controlling network
operations and overseeing the network’s security.

» A utility is a program that makes the computer system easier to

use or performs highly specialized functions. Utilities arc used to
manage disks, troubleshoot hardware problems, and perform
other tasks that the operating system itself may not be able to do.
F. Developing Mastery Lesson Recap. The teacher will now answer if their guesses
were corrects on the previous activities they done earlier, which
is guessing the parts of a laptop computer.

-The teacher will ask the students to enumerate the statements

that the teacher will present.

1. It is a device that accepts text and graphic output from a

computer and transfers the information to paper.
2. It is a small, ultra-portable storage device which, unlike
an optical drive or a traditional hard drive, has no moving
parts.
3. Is any program (hat controls the computer’s hardware or
that can be used to maintain the computer in some w ay
so that it runs more efficiently.
G. Finding Practical Application. The teacher will ask the student to grab a piece of
Application for paper to write a statement about the given problem.
Concept and Skill in
Daily Living “Create at least 3-5 statement about the importance of a
