Peripheral device – hardware added to computer system to
expand what computer can do.
Software – are computer program tells how to perform
particular task.
TP –3: Standard Components of computer system divided into
three categories: (20 mins)
Main system components – parts of system unit.
Input/output components – devices consist of monitor,
keyboard, mouse, speaker and printer.
Data storage and retrieval component – hard drive of
computer, Cd rom and floppy disk drive.
