    Study Notes

    Computer System Components

    • A computer system consists of various components that work together to process, store, and communicate information.

    Peripheral Devices

    • A peripheral device is a hardware component that connects to a computer system to provide additional functionality, such as input, output, or storage capabilities.
    • Examples of peripheral devices include keyboards, printers, scanners, speakers, and external hard drives.
    • A hardware component can be categorized as a peripheral device if it is external to the main computer system and provides supplementary functions.

    Core Components vs. Peripheral Devices

    • The core components of a computer system are the central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM), and storage devices, which are responsible for processing and storing data.
    • Peripheral devices differ from core components in that they do not process data, but rather provide input, output, or storage capabilities to support the core components.
    • The normal workflow of a computer system involves the core components processing data, while peripheral devices facilitate user interaction, display output, or store data.
