COMPUTER SYSTEMS

The term computer is generally applied to a collection of devices that together are
technically known as a computer system. This system consists of functional
components, or parts, for input, storage, control, processing, and their physical
characteristics may vary.

The main storage, control and processing components constitute the heart of the
computer system. The central processing unit (CPU) has been designed by the
manufacturer to control and carry out basic instructions to that particular computer.
It is here that data processing is done.

The computer system is divided into two parts. The first is the hardware, that is, the
mechanical part of the system. The second part is the software, which consists of
the programs that are processed. Software is of great value in the sense that the
results will depend on the quality of the program.

Because programs are so important, many large companies that have computers
also have many people specialized in designing software for their particular needs.
These people are the programmers.

Main Idea:
The passage defines a computer system and its key components. It highlights the
distinction between hardware and software, emphasizing the importance of
programmers for the system to function effectively.

Answers to the questions:

 What's a computer system?

A computer system is a collection of interconnected devices that work together to

process information. It comprises functional parts for input, storage, control, and
processing, with the physical characteristics of these parts varying.

 Did you ever work with a computer system?

(As a large language model, I cannot have personal experiences).

 How is a computer system divided?

A computer system is divided into two fundamental parts:

 Hardware: The physical components of the system, including the central

processing unit (CPU), memory, storage devices, and peripherals like
keyboards and monitors.

 Software: The set of instructions, or programs, that tell the hardware what
to do. The quality of the software significantly impacts the functionality and
results obtained from the system.

 Who are the programmers?

Programmers are specialists who design software programs tailored to the specific
needs of a computer system. They are crucial in creating the instructions that allow
the hardware to perform its tasks effectively.
