Introduction:

Computers, in simple words, are machines that perform a set of functions


according to their users’ directions. Going by this definition, several
electronic devices, from laptops to calculators, are computers.

A computer comprises of some basic elements. These include hardware,


software, programs, data and connectivity. No computer can function in
the absence of these elements. Apart from these elements, a computer
system comprises of three basic components. These components are
responsible for making computers actually function. Let’s take a look at
them in detail.

Components of a Computer System


Every computer system has the following three basic components:

1. Input unit
2. Central processing unit
3. Output unit

While there are other components as well, these three are primarily
responsible for making a computer function. They must work in complete
synergy because that will ensure smooth overall functioning. Hence, we
can even call them building blocks of a computer system.

Input Unit
These components help users enter data and commands into a computer
system. Data can be in the form of numbers, words, actions, commands,
etc. The main function of input devices is to direct commands and data
into computers. Computers then use their CPU to process this data and
produce output.

For example, a laptop’s keyboard is an input unit that enters numbers and
characters. Similarly, even a mouse can be an input unit for entering
directions and commands. Other examples include barcode readers,
Magnetic Ink Character Readers (MICR), Optical Character Readers
(OCR), etc.

Another example of input devices is touch-screens. Users can simply


touch these screens without using any other device to enter commands.
From smartphones to ATM machines, these input devices are becoming
very popular these days.

INPUT DEVICES:
1. Keyboard devices
2. Mouse
3. Joystick
4. Light pen
5. Track ball
6. Scanner
7. Digitizer
8. Microphone
9. Magnetic ink card reader (MICR)
10. Optical character reader (OCR)
11. Bar code readers
12. Optical mark reader (OMR)

Central Processing Unit (CPU)


After receiving data and commands from users, a computer system now
has to process it according to the instructions provided. Here, it has to rely
on a component called the central processing unit. The CPU further uses
these three elements:

a) Memory Unit

Once a user enters data using input devices, the computer system stores
this data in its memory unit. This data will now remain here until other
components of CPU process it. The memory unit uses a set of pre-
programmed instructions to further transmit this data to other parts of the
CPU.

b) Arithmetic and Logic Unit

This part of the CPU performs arithmetic operations. It does basic


mathematical calculations like addition, subtraction, division, multiplication,
etc. Further, it can even perform logical functions like the comparison of
data.

c) Control Unit

This unit is the backbone of computers. It is responsible for coordinating


tasks between all components of a computer system. The control unit
collects data from input units and sends it to processing units depending
on its nature. Finally, it also further transmits processed data to output
units for users.

Output Unit
The third and final component of a computer system is the output unit.
After processing of data, it is converted into a format which humans can
understand. After conversion, the output units display this data to users.
Examples of output devices include monitors, screens, printers and
speakers. Thus, output units basically reproduce the data formatted by the
computer for users’ benefit.

OUTPUT DEVICES:
1. Monitor
a.) Cathode-Ray tube Monitor
b.) Flat-panel display Monitor
2. Printers
3. Speakers
4. Projector
