INTRODUCTION

A Computer Systems is a
programmable electronic device
that can be programmed/receives
input, stores or processes to accept
some inputs in terms of data, then
process this data and provides the
output in the desired format.
INPUT-PROCESS-OUTPUT MODEL

Computer input is called data and the

output obtained after processing it, based on
user’s instructions is called information.
Raw facts and figures which can be
processed using arithmetic and logical
operations to obtain information are called
data.
Arithmetic operations −
Examples include
calculations like addition,
subtraction, differentials,
square root, etc.
Logical operations − Examples
include comparison operations
like greater than, less than,
equal to, opposite, etc.
Input Unit − Devices
like keyboard and mouse Output Unit − Devices
that are used to input like printer and visual
data and instructions to display unit that are used
the computer are called to provide information to
input unit. the user in desired
format are called output
Control Unit − As the
Arithmetic Logic
name suggests, this unit

the control unit.
COMPUTER SYSTEMS CONSISTS OF THREE MAIN
COMPONENTS :

1. HARDWARE
2. SOFTWARE
3. PEOPLEWARE /
HUMANWARE
COMPUTER HARDWARE

The physical components

collectively form the hardware
of a computer system. Hardware
comprises of the equipment that
helps in the working system of
the computer.
Motherboard

It is mainly accountable
to establish communication
between components and
transmission of
information.
 CPU

It is the Central
Processing Unit that
controls the computer’s
functions and transmits
data.
RAM

It is the Random
Access Memory and
responsible for the
storage of programs that
are currently running and
also stores data
temporarily.
Mouse

A mouse is a hand-held
pointing device that moves a
cursor around a computer
screen and enables interaction
with objects on the screen. It
may be wired or wireless.
 Keyboard

A keyboard is an input
device featuring a standard
keyset that enables users
to input text, numbers or
special characters.
Microphone

A microphone is a device
that translates sound waves
into electrical signals and
supports computer-based
audio communications.
Touchpad

A touchpad is an input
device, external or built into a
laptop, used to control the
pointer on a display screen. It is
typically an alternative to an
external mouse.
HUMANWARE / PEOPLEWARE
 It refers to the person that uses, program
and operate the computer. More specifically,
it is about the individual that makes hardware
and software components productive.
 Humanware is the method of adding a human
facet into the development of computer program. The
main goal of developing humanware is to make
hardware and software as functional as possible.
 Humanware is the combination of hardware and
software elements that makes human interaction with a
device as good as possible. Often, developing
humanware begins by defining who the computer's
potential users are, what they are interested in, and
what they need before designing the infrastructure.
 There are numerous categories of jobs,
but the three principal positions required in a
large computer installation are system
analyst, programmer, and computer operator.
