Basic Components of a Computer
The basic components of a modern digital computer are: Input Device, Output Device,
Central Processor Unit (CPU), mass storage device and memory
Four Functions about computer are:
Accepts data Input

Process is the operation of data as per given instruction. It is a totally internal process of the
computer system.
Output is the processed data given by the computer after data processing. Output is also called
as Result.
Storage can save results in the storage devices for the future use.

A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic

or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern computers have
the ability to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs. These programs enable
computers to perform an extremely wide range of tasks.
Computers are used as control systems for a wide variety of industrial and
consumer devices. This includes simple special purpose devices like microwave ovens and
remote controls, factory devices such as industrial robots and computer-aided design, and
also general purpose devices like personal computers and mobile devices such as
smartphones.

III. Experiential Learning

Directions: Think of places around you and list some workers who use computers in performing
their tasks. Write at least 5 situations where they use communication technology.

IV. Post Assessment

Directions: Identify the following statement and choose the appropriate answer from the words
inside the box.
input computer process output storage

________________1. The user feeds the computer some data to be processed.

________________2. It translates the data as per given instructions.
________________3. It processes data given by the computer. This is also called results.
________________4. It is a device that helps perform different tasks.
________________5. It saves the data, programs or results for future use.
