Main Parts of a Computer

  • Monitor: Looks like a TV. It shows pictures, words, and videos.
  • Keyboard: Has many keys. We use it to type letters, numbers, and words.
  • Mouse: A small device we move with our hand. It helps us click and select things on the screen.
  • CPU (Central Processing Unit): The brain of the computer. It controls all the work.
  • Speakers: Make sound. We use them to listen to music and other sounds.
  • Printer: Prints pictures and words on paper.

How Do These Parts Work Together?

  • We type on the keyboard and use the mouse to give instructions.
  • The CPU follows these instructions and shows the result on the monitor.
