Computer Systems

A computer system is a combination of hardware and software that work together to process information. Hardware includes physical components like the processor, memory, storage, and input/output devices. Software consists of programs and operating systems that direct hardware to perform tasks. Together, they enable users to perform activities such as browsing the internet, creating documents, or running applications. Think of the hardware as the engine and body of a car, while the software is the driver’s instructions that tell the system what to do. This integrated system allows us to automate, analyze, and communicate efficiently.
