2. Computer is an electronic machine
that process data into information.
Computer is a digital machine
which works at digits (Binary
Language i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0).
It is electronic automatic machine,
first we input data and CPU
(Central Processing Unit) processes
that data and gives output which is
useful for people.

3. A computer is an electronic device,
a flexible machine that can
manipulate data. The term
computer is used to describe a
device made up of a combination
of electronic and
electromechanical components. By
itself, a computer is referred to as
hardware. A computer doesn’t
come to life until it is connected to
other parts of a system. A
computer system is a combination
of five elements.

4. There are two internal parts of Computer.
1. Software
2. Hardware
These are two inner parts of computer, without
these our computer can't be operated.
These are most important parts of our
computer.

5. An organized sets of instructions for
controlling the computer’s hardware is
called Software.
The programs of computer are also called
Software.
Software is the term used to describe the
instruction that tell the hardware how to
perform a task. Without software
(instructions) the hardware doesn’t know
what to do. In other words, without
software , hardware is useless.

7. Those programs which exists for
the computer’s use, to help it,
manage its own tasks and devices System
is called System Software. Software
A set of instruction that is only
used for maintaining and handling Operating
Utilities
the hardware of computer is called System
System Software.
System Software underlies Windows Drivers
application software, it startup the
computer and function as the Anti viruses
principle coordinator of all
components and application
software programs. Without system etc
software loaded into the RAM of
your computer, your hardware and
application software are useless.

8. The programs which exists for the use of
only user, to get proper output from
computer and enable the computer to
perform the task which user wants to take
is called Application Software.
A set of instructions that are only used for
user’s desire is called Application Software.
Application software is a collection of
related programs designed to perform a
specific task, to have a particular problem
for the user. The task or problem may
require, for different types of files.
A wide variety of software exists to help you
accomplish many tasks on your computer.
Note: Application Software is installed over
platform.

seen and touch is called Hardware.
A computer’s hardware consists electronic
devices. The term “device” refers to any piece
of hardware used by computer, such as
keyboard, mouse, modem, printer, scanner
etc.

10. A computer system like any other system receives
input, process the input, delivers the processed
inputs as output. It receives data as input and
processes it into useful information as output.
Following are the physical parts of computer system.
These different parts perform one or more functions
including input, output, processing, etc.
1. System Unit (CPU)
2. Monitor
3. Keyboard
4. Mouse
5. Printer
6. Scanner
7. Speakers

11. The CPU is also known as System
Unit. CPU is the most important
component of computer.
CPU processes data and gives result
as output.
It houses your computer’s brain disk
drives and many other components
which makes it “mother ship” of
computer.
The purpose of processing device is
to retrieve, interpret, and direct the
execution of software instruction
provided to the computer.
