AN OVERVIEW OF THE
COMPUTER SYSTEM
 WHAT IS A COMPUTER

A computer is an
electronic, digital
and programmable
device that can
store, retrieve and
process data.
The two principal characteristics of a
computer are:

It responds to a specific set of instructions in a

welldefined manner.
It can execute a prerecorded list of instruction
(a program).

INPUT information entered into the computer
or program for processing, as from any input
device.

PROCESS the manipulation and transformation

of data into some something useful.

The term "device" refers to any piece of

hardware used by the computer, such as a
keyboard, monitor, modem, mouse, etc.

mouse are examples of input devices.
 Two Types of Input Devices

Keyboard Entry data is inputted to the

computer through a keyboard
keyboard

Direct Entry a form of input that does not

require data to be keyed by someone sitting at
a keyboard. Directentry devices create
machinereadable data on paper or magnetic
media or feed it directly into the computers
CPU.

 MONITOR
Another term for
display screen. The
term monitor,
however, usually
refers to the entire
box, whereas display
screen can mean just
the screen. In
addition, the term
monitor often implies
graphics capabilities.

people.
computerized data is digital, meaning that it
has been reduced to digits, or numbers. The
computer stores and reads all data as
numbers.
although computers use data in digital form,
they convert data into forms that people can
understand, such as text, numerals, sounds,
and images.
USER
USER

people are the

computer's operators, or
users.
some types of
computers can operate
without much
intervention from
people, but personal
computers are designed
specifically for use by
people.
 COMMUNICATION DEVICES

COMMUNICATION DEVICES (such as modems and

network interface cards) perform both input and
output, allowing computers to share information.
MODEM
MODEM
Short for modulator
demodulator.

A modem is a device or
program that enables a
computer to transmit data
over, for example,
telephone or cable lines.
Computer information is
stored digitally, whereas
information transmitted
over telephone lines is
transmitted in the form of
analog waves. A modem
converts between these
two forms.
