Computing (Hardware and Software)

On recent days we have been learning about computing and we have made a presentation of Hardware and Software and we learned about Drive, Box, Prezi and Libre Office.

Summary for the Hardware and Software presentation

+Hardware:
The set of physical or tangible components that can be found on a computer (We can say that hardware is made of RAM, ROM and peripherals)

-CPU: CPU (Central Processing Unit) is like the box that contains all the components, it processes, interpretes and executes data.

-RAM: RAM (Random Access Memory) is used for OS and programs. Itlooses all data when powered off.

-ROM: ROM (Read Only Memory) is used to store data but only to read it, it is very difficult to delete it and does not loose the data when turned off.

-Peripherals:
*Input: The computer receies data from them (Mouse, Microphone, ...)
*Output: The computer sends data to them (Screen, Printer, ...)
*Storage: The computer uses them to store data (USB, SD Card, ...)

+Software:
It is the set of programs, procedures and data that form part of the operations of the computer. There are two types: Base and Application software.

-Base Software:
Related to the processes that try to unlink the user and the memory processes, discs... If it is saved in printed circuits it is called firmware. It is related to OS, device managers, servers...

-Application Software:
It allows the user to carry tasks such as programs, games, explorers... (Microsoft Office, Libre Office, Chrome, Mozilla...)

Here you have the link to Prezi's presentation and the presentation for Libre Office and Microsoft Office and you have also a PDF version:


I hope you will enjoy them.
