Components of computer:

Computer has four major components, they are:

  • Central processing unit (CPU)
  • Memory unit
  • Input devices
  • Output devices

Central Processing Unit (CPU):

  • CPU plays the key role in a computer by carrying out instructions of a computer program.
  • It performs all the basic logic, arithmetic, controlling and input/output operations that are specified by the instructions.
  • The CPU comprises of two units, Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and control unit (CU).

Memory unit:

  • Once computer program instructions set are transformed into machine code by CPU, the machine code is stored in memory.
  • Then the CPU fetches the required data and instructions from memory, perform the required operations and then sends the result and next set of instructions back to memory.

Input devices:

  • The devices used by the user to feed information to computer, such as a hard drive, keyboard, or a networking card.
  • These devices get the data from outside world into computer in the way that human eyes and ears bring the data to brain.

Output devices:

  • Output devices are used by computer to deliver the information to the user, such as a monitor, printer, and speaker.
  • The CPU takes the machine code present in memory and converts it into a format that is required by monitor’s hardware.
  • Then the monitor’s hardware alters that information into different light intensities such that words or pictures are seen.

Investigate the methods that people use to fix problems that have arisen when they have been using mobile applications and personal computers. Take into consideration a variety of choices that might make the adjustment process for customers easier as they grow used to the specific qualities of your product. What steps did you take when you couldn't figure out how to resolve a bug in the software or application you were using on a computer? I would appreciate it if you could share your thoughts with me on the best way to address this matter.
Your company ABC manufactures computer components, and you're the CEO of the company (motherboards, hard drives, RAM, etc.).
