EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL COMPUTER

PARTS
EXTERNAL PARTS
MONITOR: an output
device through an
interface, it shows the
results of processing a
computer. The monitor concept was first
defined by Charles Antony Richard Hoare in a
1974 article.
MOUSE is a peripheral input electronic computer use,
generally made of
plastic, used as
input or control
data. It is used with
one of the user's
hands and detects its relative movement in two
dimensions by the horizontal surface on which it
rests, usually reflected by a pointer or arrow on
the monitor.
KEYBOARD: is a
peripheral or device that consists of
a set of keys,
such as a typewriter, which allows data to a computer or digital device. The keyboards are composed of
different types of keys that are alphanumeric
and keys, scoring special.

CPU: Central Processing Unit, this is

the most important part because it is
the brain of the computer, inside her
commanded all tasks are performed
by the user, it consists of specific
internal parts which will be explained
later.

Speakers :: The speakers are

used to listen to sounds from
the computer to listen to music or sounds of errors, etc.

SCANNER is a peripheral that is used to convert,

by using light, or any other printed images to
digital format.

CAMERA: is a small
digital camera connected to a computer which can capture images and transmit them over the
Internet, either a Web page or to one or more
other computers privately.
PRINTERS: is a computer peripheral that
allows a permanent
copy of text or graphics
of documents stored in
electronic form, printing
paper gloss data on physical media, usually paper
or transparencies, using ink or laser technology.

internal parts of the computer

POWER SUPPLY: The
power supply is extremely important in any
computer equipment
accessory because it
stores the energy of the
team and if the power
goes out, allows you to save documents and turn off
the computer without loss of information .
MICROPROCESSOR: that also
will call processor or CPU
(Central Processing Unit - Central Processing Unit) is the
brain of a computer. This is
responsible for taking the information received from different sources, make the
necessary processes this information and send the
result to the destination directed.
MEMORIES: is where your
computer stores programs
and data you are using.
There are two types of memory: RAM (Random Access Memory). It is composed of one or more chips
and used as working memory where you can save
or delete our programs and data. And the ROM
(Read Only Memory) Consist
and in a chip that has taxed a number of programs

and essential data for computer operation: boot

system, basic hardware control, diagnosis.
HARD DRIVE: is a device
non-volatile storage, ie retains information that has
been stored correctly even
with the loss of energy, it
uses a digital magnetic recording is where it is in most
cases stored the operating
system of the computer.

VIDEO CARD: is an
expansion card for a
computer, responsible for processing
the data from the
CPU and turn them
into comprehensible
information and representable in an output device
such as a monitor or TV.
SOUND CARD: is a
computer expansion
card that allows audio input and output
under the control of a
computer program
called Driver (English
Driver).

MOTHERBOARD:
(motherboard) is
a card where are
located the key
components of a
computer. Contains the microprocessor, memory and other circuits that are essential
to the functioning of the PC.
FANS: is a fan
that is in the
processor that
allows cool the
components on
the motherboard.
