-to knows better about computer system and devices
-recognices the computer devices

what is computer system ?

A system of interconnected computers that share a central storage system and 
various peripheral devices such as a printers, scanners, or routers. 
Each computer connected to the system can operate independently, but has 
the ability to communicate with other 
external devices and computers.

what is input and input devices ?

Meaning of input
Any data and instructions entered into the memory of a computer.there are four types of input which are text, graphics , audio and video.




what is process and processor ?

Process is a sequence of interdependent and linked 
procedures which, at every stage, consume one or more resources (employee time, energy, machines, money) 
to convert inputs into outputs. 
These outputs then serve as inputs for the next stage. 
A processor is the logic circuitry that responds to and 
processes the basic instructions that drive a computer.
The term processor has generally replaced the term central processing unit (CPU). 
The processor in a personal computer or embedded in 
small devices is often called a microprocessor.
 
 
 
 

what is storage and storage devices

A storage device is a hardware device capable of storing information. 
There are two storage devices used in computers; a primary storage device 
such as computer RAM and a secondary storage device such as a computer hard disk drive. 
 
 
 

what is output and output devices ?

Any peripheral that receives or displays output from a computer. 
In the picture to the right, is an inkjet printer and a 
good example of an  
output device that can make a hard copy of anything on a computer. 
Below is a listing of all the different computer 
output devices found on a computer.
- monitor 
- printer
- projector
- sound card
- speaker


Monitor

Also called a video display terminal (VDT) and video display unit (VDU),  
a monitor is a video display screen and the hard shell that holds it. 
In its most common usage, monitor refers 
only to devices that contain 
no electronic equipment other than what is essentially needed to display 
and adjust the characteristics of an image.
Like most TVs, the computer monitor has a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) 
that is found inside the computer monitor as illustrated in the picture to the right. 
The CRT is the main component and most expensive part within your computer monitor.

Computer monitor help and support.
- To view or watch over someone or something.

Printer

An external hardware device responsible for taking computer data 
and generating a hard copy of that data. 
Printers are one of the most used peripherals on computers
and are commonly used to print text, images, or photos. 
The image to the right is a visual example of the Lexmark Z605 Inkjet printer and is an example of what a printer may look like.

Printers
  • Dot Matrix printer
  • Inkjet printer
  • Laser printer
  • Thermal printer
  • LED printer
Printer interfaces
  • Firewire
  • MPP-1150
  • Parallel port
  • SCSI
  • Serial port
  • USB



Projector

An output device that can take the display of a computer screen and
project a large version of it onto a flat surface. 
Projectors are often used in meetings and presentations so that everyone in the room can view the presentation. 
In the picture to the right, is a ViewSonic projector and an example of 
what a projector may look like. Projectors used with computers are
small devices that are rarely much larger than a toaster and typically weigh a few pounds.

Sound card

Alternatively referred to as a sound board or an audio card, a sound card is an 
expansion card or integrated circuit that provides a computer with the 
ability to produce sound that can be heard by the user either over speakers or headphones. 
Below is an image of the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
sound card and an example of what a sound card may look like.


Below is a listing of some of the functions of a computer sound card.
Games
Audio CDs
Watch movies
Audio conferencing
Creating and playing Midi
Educational software
Business presentations
Record dictations
Voice recognition


Speaker

A term used to describe the user who is giving vocal commands to a software program.
A hardware device connected to a computer's sound card that outputs sounds generated by the card. To the right is a picture example of the Altec Lansing VS2221 speakers with subwoofer; speakers like the ones shown below are an example of what most computer speakers resemble today.
When computers were originally released they had onboard speakers that 
generated a series of different tones and beeps. 
As multimedia and games became popular, higher quality computers speakers began to be released for higher quality sound effects and music.
Computer sound cards today are not powerful enough to power a nice set of speakers. 
Today, good quality speakers are self-powered, relatively small in size to fit on desks or on the side of monitors and contain magnetic shielding.
Speakers are generally rated in Frequency response, Total Harmonic Distortion and Watts. 
The Frequency response is the rate of measurement of the highs and lows of the sounds the speaker and produce. 
The THD, or Total Harmonic Distortion, is the amour of distortion created by amplifying the signal. 
The Watts is the amount of amplification available for the speakers.
