The document describes the main parts of a computer including the monitor, mouse, central processing unit (CPU), keyboard, loud speaker, printer, computer hardware, motherboard, and microphone. The monitor displays information, the mouse controls the cursor, the CPU processes data and runs programs, the keyboard is used for input, the loud speaker converts electrical signals to sound, the printer generates hard copies, hardware refers to tangible computer components, the motherboard connects components, and the microphone converts sound waves to electrical signals.

Parts of Computer Submitted by: Van Owen Alba Dabucol Submitted to: Mary France Dulguime Raluta MONITOR
A computer monitor is an output device that
displays information in pictorial or textual form. A discrete monitor comprises a visual display, support electronics, power supply, housing, electrical connectors, and external user controls. MOUSE
A computer mouse is a handheld hardware
input device that controls a cursor in a GUI (graphical user interface) for pointing, moving and selecting text, icons, files, and folders on your computer CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
The CPU is the brain of a computer, containing
all the circuitry needed to process input, store data, and output results. The CPU is constantly following instructions of computer programs that tell it which data to process and how to process it. Without a CPU, we could not run programs on a computer. KEYBOARD
A keyboard's primary function is to act as an input
device. Using a keyboard, a person can type a document, use keystroke shortcuts, access menus, play games and perform a variety of other tasks. LOUD SPEAKER
A loudspeaker, also called a speaker or loud
speaker, is a transducer that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, providing in the process the audible sound in equipment such as public address systems, studio monitors, guitar and bass amplifiers, radios, televisions, and home stereos. PRINTER
A printer is an external hardware output
device that takes the electronic data stored on a computer or other device and generates a hard copy. Printers are one of the most popular computer peripherals and are commonly used to print text and photos. COMPUTER HARDWARE
Hardware refers to the physical, tangible computer
equipment and devices, which provide support for major functions such as input, processing (internal storage, computation and control), output, secondary storage (for data and programs), and communication MOTHER BOARD
The motherboard is the backbone that ties the
computer's components together at one spot and allows them to talk to each other. Without it, none of the computer pieces, such as the CPU, GPU, or hard drive, could interact. Total motherboard functionality is necessary for a computer to work well. MICROPHONE
The function of a microphone in a computer is to
pick up sound, just like a microphone used by a singer on stage, and convert the audio sound waves into electrical signals. From there, these electrical signals travel to the sound card, where they are converted into digital signals, able to be processed by the computer
