Task Part 2
 1. Types of Computer System
Computer will be of no use unless it is able to communicate with the outside world. Computers
become as significant device in many fields including households, business, networking, real-
time, communication, transports, entertainment and education. There is no any section that did
not touch by computing. Every single work become so smart by using this technology with high
developed computer devices under the magnificent engineering technology.  There are different
types of computer system: Personal computer, Workstation, Minicomputer, Mainframe and
Supercomputer. there are so many devices related to the computing. Rather than these, there are
two major sections in computer system requirements. They are software and hardware.

HARDWARE-
Hardware refers to the computer's physical components. The components Hardware are power
supply, motherboard, expansion Cards, hard disk and etc. A power supply unit converts
alternating current electric power to low-voltage DC power for internal components of the
computer. Input and output devices are required for user to communicate with the computer.
