Our reflection about the topic components of computer is a computer system is a collection of electronic and mechanical devices operating as a unit. These devices can be sorted according to the role they play in the computer system. The main parts of a computer system are:
Input devices
These devices are used to get data into the computer system processing devices. Input devices allow us to interact with computers in a variety of ways. If we couldn’t interact with the machines, what use would they be to us? Most input devices come in the form of peripherals, and can be divided into subcategories of their own: visual, audio, etc.
Processor
Processor/Processing devices are exactly what they sound like. They are the devices that enable the computer to process information in the first place. All computers have some form of a processor. The computer you’re on right now likely has a CPU, or central processing unit, embedded onto its motherboard. This is where the computer carries out its complex calculations, processes info, and sends it out to its output devices to be conveyed to you in a manner that makes sense.
Output devices
Output devices are the opposite of input devices. These are peripherals that essentially allow the computer to interact with us – they display information that we need to make decisions about how we interface with them.
Storage devices
That can store the data for use at a later stage communications devices and also these can send the data to another computer system. Most computers have some form of storage device that lets the machine record data on a temporary or permanent basis. Your standard personal computer will come with a primary storage device, which is a storage device that is a part of the hardware itself.
