MAIN COMPONENTS OF A COMPUTER

A personal computer consists of the following


main components:
 The computer: All that will be visible to
you is a case that contains all the essential
electronic circuitry.
 The monitor or display screen: This
displays what is going on inside the
computer and whatever you type at the
keyboard.
 The keyboard: Much the same as a
typewriter, the keyboard enables you to
input commands to control the computer
and, for example, to type text with the aid of
a word-processing program.
 The mouse: A standard component of
modern computers. A pointing device that
enables you to select from choices displayed
on the monitor and to help you control the
computer's actions.
 The hard disc drive: All computers have at
least one internal hard disc drive for the
storage of programs and data.
