speakers.
• They produce accurate sounds.
• They are externally connected with
computers.
Camera
•Uses:
• A camera is an optical instrument used to record images.
•Advantages:
• High speed, high pixel depth, and large image sizes.
• Easy to configure camera options and other functionality.
•Disadvantages:
• No physical or protocol standard for interfacing with frame grabbers
• Require custom cables and connectors
Webcam
•Uses:
• A webcam is a video camera that feeds or streams an image or

into files a computer can read and display.
•Advantages:
• Flatbed scanners are very accurate and can produce reasonably
high-quality images.
•Disadvantages:
• Images produced by the scanner can take up a lot of memory
space.
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
• CPU is considered as the brain of the computer.
CPU performs all types of data processing
operations. It stores data, intermediate results, and
instructions (program). It controls the operation of all
parts of the computer.
• CPU’s usually consist of multiples cores. Each core

printed circuit board and
foundation of a computer
that is the biggest board
in a computer chassis.
• The motherboard
connects other hardware
components such as:
RAM, the CPU and
expansion cards.
Read Only Memory

READ ONLY MEMORY (ROM) IS IT IS PERMANENT AND IT IS NON-

WRITTEN TO, CAN NO LONGER BE WHEN THERE IS NO POWER TO THE
CHANGED. COMPUTER, THE CONTENTS OF THE
ROM WILL BE RETAINED.
Graphics Card

• A graphics card is also known as a video


card, display adapter or graphics

the device that is the
electronics which store the
data, and the disk that is
the medium onto which
data is stored .
Solid State Drive

• A solid-state drive (SSD) in another secondary storage device that is non-
