# Computer Definition :

“Computer is an electronic equipment that produces the meaningful information”

Or,

“Computer is an electronic equipment that solves the problems.”

Or,

“Computer is an electronic equipment that accepts the data and information, processes them for output results, and gives the output results.”

In conclusion, Computer is an electronic machine that is made by some electronic chips, circuit boards, wires and cables. It takes the data and information from the input unit such as mouse, keyboard; processes them for output results according to the set of pre-defined instruction (programs) in the formation of Binary codes (0, 1), and gives the actual output results from the output device with logically and speedy.

The word COMPUTER is derived from the Latin word COMPUTARE, which means to calculate the mathematical functions.

#     Computer System :

Computer System is the complete set of Input Unit, processing Unit and Output unit. So, the combination of all the equipment like input unit, processing unit and output unit is called Computer System.

1.    Input Unit :

The device, that is used to send the data and information to the C.P.U. is called Input Unit like Keyboard, Mouse, Joystick etc. Specially, joystick is used for playing the game to move the object right, left, up, down, forward and backward in the screen area.

The following input units are available.

a.    Keyboard :

Keyboard is an input unit like a typewriter, sends the data and information to the C.P.U. It has the keys arranged in QWERT layout. It uses more keys specially used for different purpose.

The following keys are arranged on the keyboard.

Alphabetical keys : A to Z.

Numerical Keys : 0 to 9.

Functional Keys : F1 to F12

Operating Keys : Alt, Ctrl, Windows etc.

Symbol keys : %, $, #, @, >, <, / etc.

Different types of keyboard are available, those are given below.

- Has laser beam.

- Data transfer rate fast.

2. Processing Unit :

The device, that is used to process all the data and information for output results according to the set of pre-defined program, is called processing unit or Central Processing Unit (C.P.U.). Processing Unit is the main brain of the computer. Without C.P.U., no computer runs. It processes all the data and information in the formation of Binary codes (0, 1). Zero (0) stands for electricity off and One (1) for electricity on. There are two sectors inside the C.P.U. Those are given below.

i. ALU (Arithmetic and Logic Unit) :

In this sector, Arithmetic Unit controls the Arithmetic operations like Addition, Subtraction, Division and Multiplication. And Logic Unit controls the logical operations comparing between two or more than two variables, values or expressions using “And” or “Or” etc.

ii. CU (Control Unit) :

In this section, Control Unit controls all the remaining parts of the computer system like flow of data in and out, configuration of hardware etc.

3. Output Unit :

The device, that is used to display all the output results, is called Output Unit like Monitor, Printer, Speaker etc.

a. Monitor :

Monitor is an output unit that displays all the data and information, that can be understood by the users. Today, various types of monitor are available in the market according to their brand, model, size and quality. Some monitor displays the text or images in higher quality or lower quality output that is dependent on the technology they used. The quality of display output is measured in Pixel which is a small dotted (.) point of the images.

# Monitors Technology :

Today, various types of monitor technology are developed such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), LED(Light Emitting Diode), Gas plasma etc.  Today desktop monitor uses CRT technology, which is more expensive because it consumes more electricity power supply and occupies more places in the room. But latest technology used in LCD monitor is so being popular than Desktop monitor using CRT technology because LCD monitor is so slim, easy to handle and saves more than 60% electricity power supply.

b. Printer :

After creating a document, we give the command to print out the paper using the printer. The paper printed out from the printer is called hard copy and the printer is called Hard output device. Today, various type of printer are available in the market. The quality of printer is dependent on what type of technology they used on the basis of size, speed etc.

i. Dotmatrix Printer :

Dotmatrix printer is impact printer that prints the document in the paper in the formation of dot (.) patterns striking against the inked ribbon. This type of printer prints the document in lower quality output, slowly, and gives noises. Specially, these types of printers are still used for billing in departmental store, hospital, schools, platforms etc.

ii. Inkject printer :

This is non-impact printer which prints the document spraying the liquid ink from the tiny nozzles of print header (Cartridge). A tiny nozzle is a small hair hole. Dozen of  tiny nozzles are on the top of print header. This type of printer prints the document in higher quality but slow, gives less noises than Dotmatrix printer.

iii. Laser Printer :

Laser Printer is also non-impact printer like a photocopier machine in technology. It prints the document using the dust ink (Toner). Specially, this type of printer is used for creating books, thesis, magazines, and large size of news paper because it gives the higher quality output than others.  

The speed of printer is measured in PPM (Paper Per Minute) or CPS (Characters Per Second).

4.    Storage Unit :

       The device that is used to store the data and information for further uses, is called Storage unit like Hard disk drive, Floppy Disk Drive, CD-ROM etc.

a.    Primary Storage Unit :

       This type of storage unit is called memory unit that stores the data and information for certain time.

i.     ROM (Read Only Memory) :

This is one of the most important memory unit that contains certain programming instruction which configures hardware devices. It only reads the data and information from its memory. We can not remove the data from its memory.

ii.    RAM (Random Access Memory) :

It holds the data and instruction for temporary. When we shut down (turn off) the computer, all of the data and instructions from RAM will be removed from its memory. So, we can say RAM is a volatile memory. When we turn on the computer again, the data and instructions (Windows operating system) once again re-loaded to the RAM, usually from hard disk drive.

b.    Secondary Storage Unit :

Secondary Storage unit stores the data and information for further use. When you need, you can use them (data and information) in any time. The following secondary storage unit are available.

i.     FDD (Floppy Disk Drive) :

FDD is the most important secondary storage device that stores the data and information up to 1.44 MB of storage capacity. It runs the data and information slowly than HDD and CD-ROM.

ii.    CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory) :

CD-ROM is the main storage unit that stores the data and information related with programs, films, music, games software, files/documents etc. It stores the data and information up to 700 MB. It runs fast than FDD but slow than HDD.

iii.  HDD (Hard Disk Drive) :

HDD is the main mass storage device that stores the large capacity of data and information for further use. Today, different brand and type of hard disk are available in the market. Hard disk are available in 10GB, 20GB, 40GB, 80GB, 120GB, 160GB and more that 160GB of storage capacity. It runs fast than CD-ROM and Floppy Disk.
