Applications or APPs:
Which are computer programs that try to solve concrete needs of the user, such as: writing, drawing , music, ...

The hardware is one generic world which evolves all the computer materials we can see and touch in a computer and make it work,from this group we have 10 main elements that needs a computer to be able to work.

Motherboard:
Its a connecting part, in this part all the components are connected.

The screen:
Is the principall element wich gives the user visual information.

Microprocessor:
This part is the brain of the computer. Its a programable device that accept digital data as input and acts as the brain of the computer. This element generates a lot of heat so we use cooling mechanism for creating lower temperatures.

The screen:
Is the principall element wich gives the user visual information.

Optical disc drive:
It reads the  Compact discs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs are common types of optical media, which are readed using a laser or by electromagnetic waves.

.
Power supply:
Its a device which gives electricity to the system so that it can work, it addaps the intensity of the current to a more suitable one. This element also needs a cooling system

Hard disk drive:
Its the main memory in the computer. It saves all the data in one or many hard disks coated with a magnetic material. It is slower than the RAM but it saves the information in long periods of time

Keyboard:
The keyboard is used in PCs for writing. Its formed by tons of switches that are activated when they are pressed and they activate a letter, number or commands every time their are presed
