Parts of A Computer

A computer is an electronic device that can store, process, and manipulate data. It allows users to type documents, send emails, and browse the web. The main components of a computer are the motherboard, central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), random access memory (RAM), and storage drives. The motherboard connects and allows communication between components. The CPU performs calculations, the GPU generates graphics, RAM temporarily stores active programs and data, and storage drives permanently store installed programs and files.

A 

computer is an electronic device that manipulates


information, or data. It has the ability to store, retrieve,
and process data. 

A computer is also use to type documents, send email and


browse the web

4 functions of a computer
A. Input- the data that a computer receives
B. Output- Any  information that is processed by and sent out from
a computer or other electronic device 
C. Data Processing- is a series of operations that use information
to produce a result.
D. Data and information storage-refers to the use of recording
media to retain data using computers or other devices
5 parts of a computer

1.Motherboard
The motherboard is an important computer component because it's what everything else
connects to! The motherboard is a decently sized circuit board that lets other components
communicate. A motherboard has ports that face outside a PC's case, so you can charge
your computer, plug in a monitor, or connect a mouse.

2. Central Processing Unit (CPU)

A CPU, sometimes referred to as a computer's brain, is the workhorse of the machine. It


performs the calculations needed by a system, and can vary in speed. The work that a CPU
does generates heat, which is why your computer has a fan inside.
3. The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

these graphic cards make it possible for computers to generate high-end visuals like
those found in the many different types of video games .

In addition to video games, though, good graphics cards also come in handy for
those who rely on images in order to execute their craft, like 3D modelers using
resource-intensive software.

4. Random Access Memory (RAM)

What it is: RAM, also known as volatile memory, stores data regarding frequently accessed
programs and processes. (It's called volatile memory because it gets erased every time the
computer restarts.)

5. Storage
What it is: All computers need somewhere to store their data. Modern computers
either use a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or Solid State Drive (SSD).
