Components of Computer Hardware
INPUT DEVICES it accepts data and instructions and convert them to a form that the computer can understand.
OUTPUT DEVICES it presents data in a form people can understand
 |
| LCD, Speaker, Printer |
CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT it manipulates the data and controls the tasks done by the other components and it is the center of all computer-processing activities, where all processing is controlled, data are manipulated, arithmetic computation are performed, and logical comparisons are made.
COMMUNICATION DEVICES it provides for the flow of data from external computer networks (e.g., Internet, intranets) to the CPU, and from the CPU to computer networks.
STORAGE DEVICES
§The Primary Storage (internal storage) is a temporarily stores data and program instructions during processing. It also stores intermediate results of the processing.
