Introduction
The content of this work is a rich material for our education and it helps with
some of the greatness of information for future training in the field of computi
ng.
I hope it meets all expectations required.
Hardware 1. Keyboard: A keyboard is a peripheral or device that consists of a se
t of keys, such as a typewriter, allowing input data to a computer or digital de
vice. The keys on computer keyboards are usually classified as follows: â ¢ â ¢ â ¢ Al
phanumeric keys: letters and numbers. Keys score: comma, period, semicolon, amon
g others. Special keys: function keys, control keys, arrow keys, shift key, amon
g others.
2.
Mouse: The mouse or mouse input device is a computer, usually made of plastic. U
sed with one of the user's hands and detects the relative movement in two dimens
ions on the horizontal surface on which it rests, usually reflected by a pointer
or arrow on the monitor. Its use is easy, and is used to move quickly through t
he items displayed on the screen and choose the information that interests us mo
re easily.
3. Monitor: The monitor or computer screen, although it is common to call
"Screen" is an output device through an interface, shows the results of processi
ng a computer.
4. CPU: Central Processing Unit, CPU, or simply processor, is the
component in a digital computer that interprets instructions and processes data
in computer programs. CPUs provide the fundamental characteristic of the digital
computer (programmability) and are one of the necessary components found in com
puters of any era, along with primary storage and input / output. It is known as
a microprocessor CPU that is manufactured using integrated circuits.
5. Hard Drive: The hard drive is a nonvolatile storage device, ie
retains information that has been stored properly even with the loss of energy,
uses a digital magnetic recording system, is where in most cases is stored on co
mputer operating system. In this type of disc is inside the case a series of sta
cked metal plates spinning at high speed. These dishes are placed on the heads i
n charge of reading or writing magnetic impulses.
6. Memories: The computer has several storage devices: Memory ROM RAM external m
emories. An important aspect of memory is the ability to do it on the permanent
media, primarily the so-called "files" saved to disk. â ¢ The accumulator
â ¢ â ¢ â ¢
7.
Processor chip that acts as the brain of a device (in this case, a Handheld), ie
the central unit in a computer that controls, among other things, implementatio
n of programs and applications.
8.
Cable ID: Type of cable, usually gray, which is used to connect the IDE connecto
rs on the motherboard to a storage device (especially hard drives). Generally ea
ch IDE cable to connect two devices, the problem is that only one device can be
transferring data at a time.
9. Fan: It is very important not to cover and you have enough space to
ventilate the internet from the PC, especially the microprocessor and power supp
ly.
10. Power Supply: This is the part that connects to the current distributes the
electricity to
other components of the computer, without power supply, the computer does not wo
rk, while a low-quality components may burn or "thunder" in a cloud of blue smok
e.
11. Video Card: is an electronic component required to generate a video signal
that is sent to a video screen via a cable. The video card is usually located on
the motherboard of the computer system or an expansion card. Video Card Type: C
ard Card CGA EGA VGA card SVGA card
12. USB: Universal Serial Bus (universal serial bus) or Universal Serial Driver,
USB commonly abbreviated, is a port used to connect peripherals to a computer.
13. Modem: A modem is a device used to modulate and demodulate (amplitude,
often€stage or another system) called carrier signal by another input signal ca
lled modules.
14. Speaker: Any transformer or other device designed to increase the breadth of
beeps.
15. Printer: computer peripheral that allows you to produce a permanent copy tex
t
or graphics of documents stored in electronic form, print them on physical media
, usually on paper or transparencies, using ink or laser technology.
Software
1. MSN: is a collection of Internet services provided by Microsoft.
Initially released on August 24, 1995, to coincide with the launch of Windows 95
. The range of services provided has changed significantly since its launch.
2. Internet: Internet is a decentralized set of interconnected communications ne
tworks that use the family of TCP / IP, ensuring that heterogeneous physical net
works that make up work as a single logical network, worldwide.
3. Power Point: It is a program with an ordered sequence of slides that allow yo
u to expose synthetic and structured manner, the essential points or purposes of
a particular project.
4. Word: a word processor created by Microsoft, and now integrated into the Micr
osoft Office office suite. It has become the most popular word processor.
5. Publisher: is a desktop publishing application from Microsoft. It is often co
nsidered an entry-level editing application that differs from Microsoft Word in
which the emphasis is on the page layout and design rather than text composition
and testing.
6. Player: a media player developed by Microsoft Corp. on October 11, 2003. The
WMP can play various digital formats: Audio CD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, WMA (Windo
ws Media Audio), WMV (Windows Media Video), MP3, MPG and AVI files, although the
program depends on third party codecs for these formats and many more.
7. Excel: is an application to manage spreadsheets. This program was and still i
s developed and distributed by Microsoft, and is commonly used in financial and
accounting tasks.
8. Nero: is a popular program to produce CDs and DVDs, which runs on Microsoft W
indows and Linux. The company responsible for its development is Nero AG, former
ly Ahead Software. Nero Express comes free with many optical disc recorders.
9. Ares is a P2P file-sharing program created in mid-2002. It is free software a
nd is developed in Delphi programming language for Microsoft Windows operating s
ystem. Currently you can use the Ares network in GNU / Linux by GIFT, or officia
l client running under Wine.
10. Corel Draw: CorelDRAW is an advanced graphic editing (graphics) with basic p
age layout used in the field of graphic arts
part of the package Graphics Suite and Corel software is developed by Corel Corp
oration.
11. Photoshop: An application in the form of painting and photography studio wor
king on a "canvas" and is intended for editing, photo retouching and paint bitma

y Microsoft for the personal use of small organizations. It is a component of Mi
crosoft Office suite but does not include the "basic" package.
Conclusion
I have come to the conclusion that through evolution suffers every day computer
systems, its easy to use and offers many functions, one can say that also has in
creased the number of users working with computers, but not before highlight the
Internet, a communication channel effectively and efficiently, which binds us a
ll through a computer. I also learned that software refers to computer software
or software of a digital computer and the hardware is the physical part of a com
puter and the widest of any electronic device.
