                 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 these parts of computer in detail.


                     MONITOR

                                                                                                 Computer
                                                    Look at the picture.
                                                    What do you see?  This  is  a television.  We watch

                                                    cartoons and movies on the television.



                         Television

                 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, videos, games
                 and  cartoons  on  a  monitor’s  screen.  You  can  also see
                 alphabets, numbers, 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.
