To accomplish any task involving the usage of a computer, we need a combination of hardware, software, and input.
HARDWARE
Consists of devices, like the computer itself, the monitor, speakers, mouse, keyboard, and printer.
Inside your computer there are another bits of hardware, including the
motherboard, where you will find the main processing chips that make up
the CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT or CPU. The hardware processes the commands it receives from the software, and performs tasks.
SOFTWARE
The name given to the programs that you install on the computer to perform certain types of task or activities. There is OPERATING SYSTEM or OS software,
such as the Apple OS for a Macintosh, or Windows 8 or Windows 7 for a
PC. There is also application software, like the games we play or the
photoshop we use to edit pictures
INPUT
We need it when
turn on the computer. Everything must pass through it to get into
computer system. Input can take a variety of forms, from commands you
enter from the keyboard to data from another computer or devices such as
pendrive or floppy disk.
