Computer Components
In order for a computer system to work, it needs three main components: Hardware, Software and Peopleware.
Hardware is the physical equipment that makes up the system, such as the motherboard, processor, RAM and hard drive.
Software is the set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do.
Peopleware is the term used for the human element in a computer system, including users and administrators.
In this blog post, we will discuss each of these components in more detail!
Hardware is the physical equipment that makes up the system, such as the motherboard, processor, RAM and hard drive.
Hardware is important because it provides the foundation for the other two components to work. Software is the set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do.
Peopleware is the term used for the human element in a computer system, including users and administrators.
Peopleware is important because it ensures that the system is used correctly and efficiently.
When it comes to Hardware, there are four main types: input devices, output devices, storage devices and processing devices.
Input devices allow users to enter data into the system, such as a keyboard or mouse.
Output devices allow the system to communicate results to the user, such as a monitor or printer.
Storage devices hold data and instructions for the system, such as a hard drive or USB flash drive.
Processing devices perform operations on data, such as a processor or graphics card.
Software is the set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do.
Software can be divided into two main categories: system software and application software.
System software is low-level software that manages the hardware and provides a platform for application software to run.
Application software is the type of software that users interact with, such as a word processor or web browser.
Peopleware is the term used for the human element in a computer system, including users and administrators.
Peopleware is important because it ensures that the system is used correctly and efficiently. Users are the people who interact with the system to perform tasks, such as entering data or running applications. Administrators are responsible for maintaining the system, such as installing updates or backing up data.
In conclusion, Hardware, Software and Peopleware are the three main components of a computer system. Hardware provides the foundation for the system, Software tells the Hardware what to do, and Peopleware ensures that the system is used correctly and efficiently. Thanks for reading!

- So there are three types of computers, right?
- Who is a computer administrator?
- What does peopleware mean?
- What are the three components of a computer?
- What are the three types of computers and what do they do?
- How are the three types of computers different from each other?
- What is your favorite type of computer and why?
- Do you think everyone should use the same type of computer?
Conclusion
The class teacher wraps up or concludes the lesson by giving out a short note to summarize the topic that he or she has just taught.
The class teacher also goes round to make sure that the notes are well copied or well written by the pupils.
He or she makes the necessary corrections when and where the needs arise.
Evaluation
- Write a BASIC program to find the average of five numbers.
- Write short notes on the program terminator.
- Explain the following: Character set, constants and variables.
