Explanation

 A computer system consists of a computer case, a power supply unit, a motherboard, a central processing unit, main memory, and a hard disk drive.

Input devices include a keyboard, mouse, microphone, video camera, and image scanner.

Explanation

An integrated circuit is a small chip of semiconductor material, typically silicon, that contains numerous tiny MOSFETs.

The five generations of computers:

1. First Generation (1946-1959 or 1940-1956): Vacuum tube-based technology (e.g., ENIAC).
2. Second Generation (1959-1965 or 1956-1963): Transistor-based technology.
3. Third Generation (1965-1971 or 1964-1971): Integrated circuit-based technology.
4. Fourth Generation (1972-1980): VLSI microprocessor-based technology.
5. Fifth Generation (1980-present): ULSI microprocessor-based technology, with a focus on artificial intelligence.

Explanation

A microcomputer typically consists of a central processing unit (CPU), input/output devices (like keyboard and monitor), and storage components (like hard drive or SSD).

Explanation

Real-time computing, also known as reactive computing

is used to describe a computer system that reacts to events by performing tasks within a specific time interval.

The time frame for these actions to be carried out is in the order of milliseconds.

Explanation

Every component of a computer is either an input device or an output device.

Before a computer can process your data you need some method to input the information.

output devices are when the computer has processed your data you need some device to display that output .

Explanation

Three types of bus are used.

Address bus: carries memory addresses from the processor to other components such as primary storage and input/output devices. 

Data bus : carries the data between the processor and other components.

Control bus: carries control signals from the processor to other components.

Explanation

• Hardware is the collection of all those parts of computer system, which are actually working during the processing of data to get information.
• A set of instructions that operates various parts of the Computer Hardware is called Software

Explanation

The central processing unit (CPU), sometimes known as the processor, is what gives computers their brains.
