Common components of computer systems

By Francesca

The computer

• The Microsoft key board, well as you may know Microsoft is one of the most well known computer companies in the world. A keyboard is a self explanatory device nothing further more i could do to explain the pros and cons with this device. This device is just a simply way input many thing onto a computer.

• This here is part of the system, you can insert a usb stick, microphone, headphones and certain types of Ethernet cables (1394).

• This is a hard drive this device stores data and it is what makes it work it has codes stored for every movement i.e keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

• Right the monitor is the front to a computer the thing that you need to be able to read you inputted data the piece of equipment I feel is the most important as without this there would be no interaction.

• At the back of the hard drive you will find inputs for the mouse, keyboard and monitor.

Games console(Nintendo DSI)

• Right the NINTENDO DSI (duel screen interactive) this games console is now a very popular way to play games that open up a range of fun things for all ages plus you can battle against your friends through a wireless connection.

• Here is where you can insert your game cards on the back.

• This part is just one of the screens but this is jus one like a viewing screen leaving you more space to play your game on the interactive screen.
