There are 4 basic types
of computer parts:
a) Input devices -
parts of the computer that allow information or data to be given to
the computer like
keyboard or a mouse.
b) Storage devices – parts of
the computer that hold information. The primary storage device is the
computer’s memory called RAM (random access memory). It remembers everything
that is read, input, or output. But,
because the computer’s memory is on a
temporary area—it forgets everything when turned off—it must have another
place to store information permanently.
This secondary storage device is
usually a disk.
Processing device – part of the computer
that processes and controls the flow of information: it does the
work. The one part of the computer that
handles this job is the central
processing unit or CPU.
Output devices – parts of the computer
that gives out information generated by the computer, like a
monitor, printer, or speaker.
