Hardware
Hardware-the physical part of the computer.
Hardware can be put unto 3 catagories:input devices, output devices, and storage devices.
Input devices:Input means to enter data into a computer for processing. An input device is any device that can get data into the computer, i.e Keyboard, joystick, mouse, scanner, etc.
Output devices:once data has been input into a computer and processed, it is of liitle use unless it can be retrived quickly and easily from the system. To allow this, the computer must be connected to an output device, i.e printers, lasers, speakers, etc.
Storage devices:unless you want to lose all of the work you have done on your computer, you must have some means of storing the information, i.e, hard disks, floppy disks, CD ROMs, DVDs, etc.
