A computer device is made up of two major parts; Hardware and Software.
Hardware is the physical components of a computer like a monitor or the mouse, which you can actually touch. Computer Software are programs or applications that give instruction to hardware on what to do, and can not be physically touched. The best way to think about this concept, is to picture a human body, all physical parts such as arms, legs, heart, eyes, etc are the Hardware and the synapses made by the brain that send information to the rest of the body would be the Software.

The following are examples the hardware of our modern day computers:
-Monitor
-Motherboard
-CPU
-RAM Memory
-Expansion card
-Power supply
-Optical disk drive
-Hard Disk
-Keyboard
-Mouse

The Monitor is usually known as the computer screen and displays what is being processed and accessed.

The Motherboard holds the major components of the computer system and provides connectors to peripherals (keyboard, mouse). It is also known as the system, main or logic board.

The CPU carries out the instructions of programs and other computer functions.

The RAM (random-access memory) is the way to store data on a computer on circuits that can be accessed in any order. Types of RAM; ROM and some flash memory.

The Expansion card is a circuit board that is inserted into the expansion slot of the mother board and adds functionality or even memory to a computer system.

The Power Supply provides the power or electricity to the computer.

The Optical Disk Drive is where you insert you CD or DVD into the computer.

It uses a laser or waves to read or write information to and from the disk.

The Hard Disk stores data that is encoded digitally.

The Keyboard is the device used to input information and commands into the computer system. It resembles a typewriters keyboard.

The mouse is the device used to point to items on the screen.

There are many parts that make up a computer and there is no better way than e-learninge-learning to learn how to use the integration of both computer hardware and software. When the convenience of learning from home or the location of your choice is the only option, the best way to go is e-learning.
