 Inroduction
The term computer is derived from the word
compute . A computer is an electronic device that
takes data and instruction as an input from the user ,
processes data , and provide useful information
known as output . This cycle of operation of a
computer is known as the (input-process-output)
cycle and as in shown in figure

Data input process

Classification of Computer
 Computer is classified into several categories
depending on their computing ability and
processing speed .These include :
 Microcomputer

 Minicomputer

 Mainframe Computer

 Supercomputer
 Microcomputer
They are called personal computers.
PCs are computers designed for
personal use and have only one CPU.
These computers are widely used
because of their low value, small size,
ease of use, continued development,
some of them are called desktops and
others are called laptops. These are
good for people whose jobs require
them to move around and have
computers with them …

 Minicomputer
minicomputer is a medium-sized
computer, a minicomputer is very
popular because of its size, and it is a
multiple-user , computer that provides
M in ico m p u te r

the convenience of working for more

than 12 people at the same time. They
are more expensive than
microcomputers . Example of
minicomputers ( Multimedia ) . The
advantage of using minicomputers is
that they are used to process complex
data in universities and middle-class
businesses. These minicomputers are
also used in scientific research and
engineering analysis for data …

 Mainframe Computer
mainframes also known as “big iron“
are high-performance computers
with large amounts of memory and
processors that process billions of
simple calculations and transactions
in real time . Mainframe Use in large
organization such as banks, finance ,
health care , business , educational
institutions and Government
departments etc. Airline use these
computers to maintain flight
schedules and ticket reservation

7
 Super computer
Supercomputers are very fast,
large, expensive and powerful
computers that can execute a
trillion instructions in seconds.
Supercomputers can store
huge amounts of data .
Supercomputers are used to
predict global weather,
military research and defense
systems, and research in
genetic engineering.

Characteristics of computer
 1.Speed : a computer can perform tasks very fast in general no
human being can complete to solving the complex compulation ,
faster than computer .

• 2.Versatility : we can use computer to perform completely different

type of work at the same time

 3.Diligence : computer can work for hours without any break and
creating error

• 4.Accuracy : since computer is programmed , so what ever input we

give it gives result with accurately

9
Hardware
Computer Hardware is the physical part of the
computer system , the machinery and equipment .
Parts of the computer “you can fell “ Iternal hardware
devices include (motherboards , hard device , and
RAM ) and External hardware devices include
( monitors , keyboards , printers and scanners … )
10
INPUT DEVICES
Input device captures information and translates it into
a form that can be processed and used by other parts of
your computer

11
Output Device
Output devices take information within your computer and
present it to you in a form that you can underestand

12
Software
Software is a set of instructions , data or programs
used to operate computers and execute specific
tasks . It is the opposite of hardware , which
describes the physical aspects of a computer . A list
of some of the most well-known computer software
examples includes: Operating systems such as
(Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS) Productivity
Software for example(Word, Excel, PowerPoint
etc ) , Internet Browsers including (Firefox, Chrome)

13
Conclusion
In the end , we need to know that computers
are important in everyone’s life
that is in every program in a computer that is
special to learn that computers have made
human life progress in many places , such as in
universities and companies , and for everything
we have in our lives , we need a laptop , and
today we can develop the seminar because of
laptops .
