What Are The Elements Of Computer System?

A computer consists of three basic elements/components such as hardware, software and memory. Hardware includes the tangible aspects of computers and can be touched such as mouse, printers, monitor, microphone, scanner etc. Hardware is usually used for input and output purposes. It takes instructions from the user from input devices such as mouse, key board etc and displays the output (after processing) on the other hardware devices such as monitor, LCDs, scanner, printers etc. The software of the computer includes operating system which executes all the programs and instructions given by the user. The computer software itself is categorized in to two i.e system software and application software. System software includes the software execution by the computer itself such as windows and DOS whereas applications softwares are user generated applications such as powerpoint, Ms office etc. The memory of the computer can also be categorized under hardware but sometimes it is considered as a separate element of the computer system. Memory allows the user to store the data and processes performed by the computer. Memory is divided in to three categories such as RAM, ROM and secondary storage devices. All these components are essential for the effective functioning of computer system.
