| Anatomy of a Computer System |
|
- Computer hardware :- This includes the computer equipment that is the mechanical, electrical and electronic parts of the system.
- Computer software :- Programs that instruct a computer how to process the data and generate required information.
- Computer personnel :- People who prepare data for computerized input, write computer programs, monitor computer operations and distribute the output. There are also end users who use computer resources. A computer system functions effectively only when all three components perform their assigned tasks. The failure of any one component of the system leads to the failure of the system as a whole.
