WHAT IS COMPUTER’S
HARDWARE?
Computer hardware refers to the physical components
that make up a computer system. These components
work together to perform the various tasks required by
computer software. Some key examples of computer
hardware include:
Central Processing Unit (CPU): Often referred to
as the brain of the computer, the CPU processes
instructions from programs and performs
calculations.
Memory (RAM): Random Access Memory (RAM) is
used to temporarily store data that the CPU needs
to access quickly.
Power Supply Unit (PSU): Converts electrical
power from an outlet into a usable form for the
computer.
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): Handles
WHAT ARE USES OF COMPUTER
HARDWARE?
Computer hardware is very important for the
computer. Computer hardware is vital for a
variety of tasks in modern life.Computer
hardware has many uses in the computer .
Some of the uses are as follow:
Processing Data: The CPU (central
processing unit) executes instructions and
performs calculations.
Storage: Devices like hard drives and
SSDs store data and applications.
Input: Keyboards, mice, and other
peripherals allow users to input data.
WHAT IS COMPUTER’S
SOFTWARE ?
Computer software is a collection of data or
computer instructions that tell the computer how to
work. This is in contrast to physical hardware, from
which the system is built and actually performs the
work. Software performs tasks like browsing the web,
playing games, and writing documents. It ranges
from operating systems like Windows, macOS, and
Linux to applications like Microsoft Word, Photoshop,
and web browsers. Without software, your computer
would just be a pile of electronic components.
WHAT ARE USES OF
COMPUTER SOFTWARE?
System software communicates with and coordinates
hardware so that the basic functions of computers are
usable, while application software helps users perform
specific tasks on their computers.Computer software
has a wide range of uses across different fields and
applications. Here are some key uses:
Productivity: software like word processors,
spreadsheets, and presentation tools help users
create documents, manage data, and prepare
presentations.
Communication: email clients, messaging apps,
and video conferencing tools facilitate
communication and collaboration.
Entertainment: media players, video games, and
streaming services provide entertainment.
Ergonomics:
SAFE USE OF COMPUTER

HARDWARE
strain: Use adjustable
chairs and desks, and position
screens at eye level.
Take regular breaks to prevent
repetitive strain injuries.
Maintenance:
Clean hardware regularly to prevent
dust buildup and
overheating.
Handle devices carefully to avoid
physical damage.
RESPONSIBLE USE OF
COMPUTER HARDWARE
The computer system must be used responsibly in order to
get
the maximum performance of the computer. Every computer
users need to observe the following rules :
1• Dust cover should be used to cover the equipment when
not in use.
2•Do not spill liquid on any part of the computer.
3•Switch off equipment when not in use.
4•Be careful about using diskette or any other eternal
storage devices for unknown device source to avoid virus.
