external and internal parts of

the computer

external parts:
MONITOR: an output device
through an interface, it shows
the results of processing a
computer. The monitor concept
was first defined by Charles
Antony Richard Hoare in a
1974 article.

MOUSE: is a peripheral input

electronic computer use, generally made of plastic, used as
input or control data. It is used
with one of the user's hands
and detects its relative movement in two dimensions by the
horizontal surface on which it rests, usually reflected by a pointer or arrow on the monitor.

KEYBOARD: is a peripheral or
device that consists of a set of
keys, such as a typewriter,
which allows data to a computer or digital device. The keyboards are composed of different types of keys that are
alphanumeric and keys, scoring special.

CPU: Central Processing Unit, this

is the most important part because it is the brain of the computer,
inside her commanded all tasks
are performed by the user, it consists of specific internal parts
which will be explained later.

CABINET:The cabinet is the outside of the computer and there are

two main types, tower and desktop. In class tower, there are mini
tower, mid tower and full tower
which are used for servers. Inside
the case are all major devices.

SPEAKERS: The speakers are used

to listen to sounds from the computer to listen to music or sounds
of errors, etc.

PRINTERS: is a computer peripheral that allows a permanent copy

of text or graphics of documents
stored in electronic form, printing
paper gloss data on physical media, usually paper or transparencies, using ink or laser technology.

BUG: Electronic Instrument

designed to capture sound
waves and transform them
into electrical oscillations.

SCANNER is a peripheral
that is used to convert, by
using light, or any other
printed images to digital
format.

internal parts:
POWER SUPPLY: The power
supply is extremely important in any computer equipment accessory because it
stores the energy of the
team and if the power goes
out, allows you to save documents and turn off the
computer without loss of
information .

MICROPROCESSOR: also we
call processor or CPU
(Central Processing Unit Central Processing Unit) is
the brain of a computer. This
is responsible for taking the
information received from
different sources, make the
necessary processes this
information and send the result to the destination
directed.

MEMORIES: is where your

computer stores programs
and data you are using.
There are two types of
memory: RAM (Random
Access Memory). It is composed of one or more chips
and used as working memory where you can save
or delete our programs and data. And the ROM
(Read Only Memory) Consist
and in a chip that has taxed a number of programs
and essential data for computer operation: boot
system, basic hardware control, diagnosis.

HARD DRIVE: is a device nonvolatile storage, ie retains information that has been stored correctly
even with the loss of energy, it uses
a digital magnetic recording is where it is in most cases stored the
operating system of the computer.

VIDEO CARD: is an expansion card

for a computer, responsible for
processing the data from the CPU
and turn them into comprehensible information and representable
in an output device such as a monitor or TV.

SOUND CARD: is a computer expansion card that allows audio

input and output under the control of a computer program called
controller.

MOTHERBOARD: (motherboard)
is a card where are located the
key components of a computer.
Contains the microprocessor,
memory and other circuits that
are essential to the functioning
of the PC.

FANS: is a fan that is in the

processor that allows cool the
components on the motherboard.

Optical Drive: is the drive that

uses laser light or near electromagnetic waves the spectrum
of light as part of the process
of reading or writing data from
a file to optical discs through
light beams interpret refractions provoked on its own issue.
