HARDWARE
Software: it is the logical part, the set of instructions and data processed by the circuits
electronics of the hardware. All interaction of users of modern computers is
carried out through the software, which is the layer placed over the hardware that
transform the computer into something useful for humanity.

Processor
The processor is the brain of the computer, tasked with processing the majority
part of the information.
The processor is the most complex and often the most expensive component, but it
cannot do anything alone. Like every brain, it needs a body, which
is formed by the other components of the computer, including memory, hard drive, motherboard
video and network, monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Motherboard
This piece can also be interpreted as the backbone of the computer,
after all, it is she who interconnects all the devices of the equipment, that is, the processor
with RAM, hard drive, graphics card, among others. In addition to allowing the
information traffic, the board also powers some peripherals with energy
electricity that receives from the power supply of the case.
Video Card
It is up to the graphics card to generate everything that will appear on your monitor, such as
In the cheaper computers, the video cards are integrated into the motherboard.
they do not have dedicated memory, and therefore use the system's live memory,
it is usually called shared memory.
On good and more sophisticated computers, the video adapter can have a
own processor, the GPU or graphics accelerator. It is a processor
able to generate three-dimensional images and visual effects, and accelerate two-dimensional ones,
relieving the work of the main processor and generating a better final result
faster.
Power Supply
The basic function of the power supply is to transform alternating current from the
electric circuit in direct current, filter and stabilize the current and generate the voltages of
3.3V, 5V, and 12V provided to the other components.
6
Peripherals
Peripherals are devices or expansion cards that send or receive information from
computer applies to any equipment or accessory that is connected to the computer.

INTERNET
INTERNET
ACCESSING GOOGLE
To access the internet, it is necessary to have a browser. The most common ones are
shown in Figure 1, below:
To conduct searches on the internet, it is necessary to type the site you wish to visit, or the
information you wish to research. Figure 3 shows the two ways to perform a
internet research.

search for "Weather Forecast in Alegrete" and press ENTER. You will be
redirected to a new page with the search results, as shown in Figure 4.
Usually on this screen, each item highlighted in blue is a different website and when
the item is a little more to the right, as if it were a paragraph, it can be
considered a subitem of the above. So it is possible to open the news (or information

TYPING
INTRODUCTION
The keyboard is an input device that works similarly to
a typewriter. It has extra keys for special functions and a keyboard
numeric, similar to that of a calculator. It is the main channel of interaction
between the user and the computer, used to input information.
FUNCTION KEYS
They are the F1 to F12 keys, which are located at the top of the keyboard. Keys
for functions, they are used to expedite certain operations. For example, for
access the help of certain programs (F1) or to repeat the last one
typed fragment (F4). These keys are often used in combination with Ctrl, Alt
the Shift.
TYPING KEYS
These are the standard alphanumeric keys, which encompass the 04 basic rows.

Alt key
This key may also be known as the 'alternate' key, that is, key of
alternation. The function of this key is similar to the CTRL key, as this
alone does not have a specific function. The Alt key is usually little used by
typist in the text editor environment.
In the Windows environment, the Print Screen SysRq key is used to capture
entirely the screen that is being viewed, throwing it into the clipboard.
Then, it is possible to edit this screen using, for example, the Paint tool.
The Pause Break key is used, for example, when the computer is
performing the BOOT (operating system load process) stopping the
processing and giving the opportunity to analyze the information regarding the
CPU, Memory, etc.
CURSOR KEYS
As the name suggests, these are the keys that allow you to move the cursor around the
document. In addition to the directional keys (composed of 4 keys that are used for
move the cursor in the desired direction) that are grouped between the keyboards

Caps Lock, Num Lock (numeric keypad) and Scroll Lock.
NUMERIC KEYBOARD
The computer keyboard has a separate numeric keypad. They remain
the numbers of the fourth row of keys, but the numeric keypad in block, which is located at
right of the keyboard, allows for quick number typing, incorporating
also keys that allow basic mathematical operations.
