1) HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
Hardware: the physical parts that make up the computer (everything we can 'see and touch').
Software: not physical, this includes the programs, or applications needed for the functioning and operation of the system.
2) COMPONENTS
INPUT DEVICES | OUTPUT DEVICES |
Devices that allow the user to enter information into the PC (keyboard, mouse, scanner, etc.) | Devices that allow the computer to communicate with the user (monitor, printer, etc.) |
3) KEYBOARD
The keyboard has four defined zones,
Main Typing Area: Takes up the largest area of the keyboard, and includes the alphabet letters. It resembles a traditional typewriter.
Numeric Keypad: Placed on the right part of the keyboard. Similar to a calculator keyboard.
Edition keys: Located between the numeric keypad and the main typing area. It is very useful to move within texts and edit documents.
Function Keys: Situated horizontally at the top of the keyboard. These keys are 'shortcuts' to perform specific tasks within different applications.
