Study Notes
Visual Description of Slide Presentation
- The presentation slide has a blue screen background with a green light effect.
- The slide is titled "Main Components of Computer System".
Computer System Components
- The most important component of a computer system is debated, but each component plays a crucial role.
RAM vs ROM
- RAM (Random Access Memory) is a volatile memory that loses data when the power is turned off.
- ROM (Read-Only Memory) is a non-volatile memory that retains data even when the power is turned off.
Main Components of Computer System
- The main components of a computer system include:
- Input devices
- Central Processing Unit (CPU)
- Output devices
- Backing storage
- Internal memory
Backing Storage
- Backing storage refers to a type of memory that provides long-term storage for data and programs.
Input and Output Devices
- Input devices: Examples include keyboard, mouse, scanner, and microphone.
- Output devices: Examples include monitor, printer, and speaker.
Input vs Output Devices
- Input devices: Receive data from the user or external sources (e.g., keyboard, mouse, scanner).
- Output devices: Display or present data to the user (e.g., monitor, printer, speaker).
Internal Memory vs Backing Storage
- Internal memory: Temporary storage for data and programs while they are being processed (e.g., RAM).
- Backing storage: Long-term storage for data and programs when not in use (e.g., hard drive, solid-state drive).
