Components of Computer System

By
A system is defined as a set of interacting elements, responding to inputs so as to produce outputs. The computer system also consists of the following elements or components. Software Hardware Firmware Humanware   Software All the intangible components of the computer system are known as software In other words, we can say that all computer programs and applications run behind the monitor screen, are known as software. Computer software is a term that describes computer programs. Example   Microsoft-windows (all operating system software) and notepad, MS office suite, window media player(application software). Software is further divided into two parts these are following 1) system software 2) application software Hardware All tangible component of a computer system is known as hardware. In other words, computer hardware is the collection of physical parts of the computer system. Example  CPU(Microprocessor), monitor, keyboard,...
