3. WHAT IS HARDWARE?
The computer is a revolutionary invention. It
transformed every aspect of modern society and
took it from the past into the future, like a time
machine. It’s individual parts are called
“hardware”. Computer hardware refers to the
physical and mechanical components of a computer
system. It consists of devices such as circuit
boards, chips, monitors, disks, disk drives,
modems, keyboards, and printers.

4. Functions of Computer Hardware
The computer indeed works like the human brain. Both receive, store,
and process data. These functions can be divided in 4 main divisions:
1. Storage
2. Process
3. Input
4. Output

5. Storage
Ability of the computers to store and retain data in their memories
measured in bytes.
Process
Conversion of data from one format to another. Data, in this sense,
refers to a collection of numbers and characters which the
computer understands. The microprocessor (CPU) is the brain of
the computer. It controls the flow of data. It is the most important
part of the computer.
Storage
Ability of the computers to store and retain data in their memories
measured in bytes.
Storage

6. Input
Taking of commands or fed by information of the computer
with the use of Input devices used to tell the computer what
to do.
Output
After we feed the computer with instructions, this is the result or
outcome of what we inputted using output devices used to show us the
outcome. They tell us what the computer is doing with the commands
we supplied it with.

7. Examples of hardware
Memory card – Used as storage.
Joystick - used in some gaming softwares to control
the player.
Heatsink- used to regulate heat inside
the C.P.U.
