                    Write the names of the given devices.














                  Computers work faster, simpler and more accurately than humans. You have used
                  them to type, draw and create stories. But have you ever wondered what makes
                  them so smart? Let’s find out by learning about computer hardware and software.





                          COMPUTER HARDWARE


                  The parts of a computer system that
                  you  can touch  and see  are called                                 Hardware                Hybrid

                  computer hardware. It can also be                  Devices                                     Devices
                                                                        Input
                  described  as  the  physical  parts  of
                  the computer.  Just  like  your body                     Processing                Storage

                  has bones,  muscles  and  organs, a                      Devices      Output         Devices
                  computer  has its  own set  of parts                                  Devices
                  that work together to perform tasks.
                  The hardware of a computer is divided into the following categories:


                  INPUT DEVICES


                  Input devices are hardware components of a computer system that allow users to
                  interact with it by providing data and control signals. Let us learn about some of them.

                                                    Keyboard


                                                    A keyboard is a device with keys that lets you type
                                                    letters, numbers and symbols into a computer.







                   A standard keyboard has 104 keys, including letters, numbers and function keys.
