WHAT IS COMPUTER ?
The word computer comes from the word ¡° compute¡±
Which means , to ¡° calculate.¡±
Computer Definition
Computer is an electronic device that can
accept input data, process data, store
data and produce output according to set
of instructions /program.
? CharlesBabbage is considered to be the father of
modern digital computers.
? He designed ¡°Difference Engine¡± in 1822.
? He designed a fully automatic analytical engine in
1842 for performing basic arithmetic functions.

In put device
An input device is any hardware device that
sends data to a computer, allowing you to interact
with and control it. ... The most commonly used
or primary input devices on a computer are the
keyboard and mouse.

An output device is any device
used to send data from a computer
to another device or user.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The central processing unit (CPU) is
the unit which performs most of the
processing inside a computer. To
control instructions and data flow to
and from other parts of the computer,
the CPU relies heavily on a chipset,
which is a group of microchips located
on the motherboard.
storage device
A storage device refers to a computing
hardware used to store information permanently
or temporarily. The device can be external or
internal to a computer, server, and other
computing systems. Storage devices are also
known as storage medias or storage medium.
There are two types of storage device:
secondary storage device and primary storage
device.
Secondary storage device
A secondary storage device has a
larger storage capacity and can store
data permanently. The device can be
both external and internal to a
computer and includes; compact disk,
USB drive, hard disk, etc.
Primary storage device
A primary storage device is quite smaller in
size and it¡¯s designed to capture or hold
data for a temporary period. Most primary
storage devices are found inside the
computer, and they have the fastest access
to data. Examples of Primary devices
include Cache memory and RAM.
