                 A  computer has  different  parts to do  different  jobs.
                 There are four main parts of a computer. They are
                 Monitor, CPU, Mouse and Keyboard.

                 Let us look at the computer parts in detail.

                                                    Look at the picture.
                                                    What do you see? This is a television. It shows cartoons
                                                    and movies.

                 Now, look at the second picture. What is it?

                 This looks  like  a television  but  this  is not  a television.
                 It is a computer monitor. You see pictures, games and
                 cartoon on a monitor’s screen. You can also see alphabet,
                 numbers  and  words  and  various other things  on  a
                 monitor’s screen.                                                                  Monitor

                     The monitor is also called Visual Display Unit (VDU) because it displays all the information
                     to us on the screen.
