WORKSHEET
A computer is an electronic device that manipulates information or data. It has the ability to store, retrieve,
and process data.

Hardware is any part of your computer that has a physical structure, such as the keyboard or mouse.

It also includes all the computer's internal parts, which you can see in the image below.
1|Page
Input Devices: Input devices are hardware components that allow users to enter data or
instructions into a computer.
Examples include keyboards, mice, scanners, and microphones.
Output Devices: Output devices are hardware components that display or deliver the
results of processed data in a human-readable form.
Examples include monitors, printers, speakers, and projectors.
KEYBOARD: Composed of keys representing alphabets, numbers, and commands to
2|Page
input data or perform actions.

Mouse: Known as a pointing device, Enables users to click on icons, open files, and

navigate the system efficiently.
Typically includes three buttons and a trackball for movement, while laptops often
use a touchpad as a replacement.
Joystick


3|Page
A control stick is attached at an angle to its base, commonly used
for video games.
Apart from gaming, it is widely used in aircraft cockpits,
wheelchairs, cranes, and other machinery for precision control.
Light Pen

A light-sensitive device resembling a wand that interacts
directly with the computer screen.
Primarily used alongside cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors for
drawing or selecting objects on the screen.

Microphone

Converts sound into an electrical signal and stores it in digital
format.
Requires an amplifier to record or reproduce sound effectively.
Essential for voice input and multimedia applications.


Scanner

Scans text or images and convert them into digital format for
display on the computer screen.
Allows physical documents to be digitized for editing or sharing
electronically.

Barcode Reader


An optical scanning device that reads barcodes using a beam of
light.
Displays the details of the barcode on the computer screen,
making it widely used in retail and inventory management.
Output Devices:
Monitor



A monitor is a primary output device that displays icons, text,
images, and videos on a screen.
It shows the results of actions performed by the computer in a
user-readable format.
Over the years, various types of monitors, such as LED, LCD,
and OLED, have been developed to enhance display quality.
Printer



4|Page
A printer is an output device used to create physical copies of
digital content, typically on paper.
For example, an author types a manuscript on a computer and
then prints it out for publishing.
Different types of printers, like inkjet, laser, and 3D printers, are
available to cater to diverse needs.
Speakers



Speakers are output devices that produce sound as a result of
commands given to the computer.
They can be integrated into the system or used as external
hardware devices.
Modern advancements have led to the development of wireless
speakers that connect via Bluetooth or other applications.
Projector



A projector is an optical device that displays images or
videos on a large screen or surface.
Commonly used in auditoriums, movie theatres, and
classrooms, it mirrors the content displayed on the
connected computer screen.
Projectors enhance visual experiences for large audiences.
Headphones


Headphones, also known as earphones or headsets, perform the
same function as speakers but deliver sound directly to the
user.
Unlike speakers, which broadcast sound over a larger area,
headphones provide a more personal listening experience.
Input and Output Devices of a Computer
There are several input and output devices of the computer that possess the ability to perform both
functions. These devices can receive data (input) and provide results (output). Below are some
examples of such devices:
USB Drive (Flash drive)
A USB drive serves as both an input and output device.
It allows data to be transferred from one device (input) and stores or sends it to
other devices (output), making it essential for data exchange between computers.
Modem
A modem is a vital device that facilitates data transmission over telephone lines.
It functions as both an input and output device by sending and receiving data to
and from the internet or other networked devices.
CD and DVD
CDs and DVDs are commonly used input and output devices.
They allow data to be saved from one computer (output) and retrieved or
transferred to another device (input).
These data storage devices are widely used for data storage and sharing.

Headset
A headset combines both input and output functions. The speaker
portion works as an output device, providing sound to the user, while
the microphone acts as an input device, capturing audio to be processed
by the computer.
Software is any set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do and how to do it.
Examples of software include web browsers, games, and word processors.

of slides, which enhances the clarity and communication of the subject, along with adding a visual
aspect to the data which makes it more appealing and presentable.

makes learning with the data a lot easier, thus can be used by teachers in schools for making
learning fun and uncomplicated.

The four types of animations
There are several animations affects you can choose from, and they are organized into four types.
Entrance: This controls how the object enters the slide. For example, with the Bounce animation the object will
drop onto the slide and then bounce several times.
Emphasis: These animations occur while the object is on the slide, often triggered by a mouse click. For example,
you can set an object to spin when you click the mouse.
Exit: These control how the object exits the slide. For example, with the Fade animation the object will simply
fade away.
Motion Paths: These are similar to Emphasis effects, except the object moves within the slide along a
predetermined path, like a circle.
To apply an animation to an object:
Select the object you want to animate.
On the Animations tab, click the More drop-down arrow in the Animation group.
A drop-down menu of animation effects will appear. Select the desired effect.
