Discuss the element of the computer system.?
The Basic Elements of a Computer:
Hardware - Compose of the physical components. The tangible parts of a computer. ex. power supply, keyboard, mouse, etc.
Software - Intangible parts. The parts which do not have material form. ex. datas, programs, protocols, etc.
Slightly more detailed:Included in the hard ware is mother board which is pretty much the hub of everything and manages all the different connections for other components such as your CD drive, hard drives, ram, graphics cards, sound cards, mouse and keyboard, monitor and anything else. Some motherboards have ethernet (a way of connecting to the internet), graphics, and sound cards built into them. You than attach the CPU. The CPU is your main processing chip and is generally made by AMD or Intel. The hard drives store all your information and files. Dedicated sound cards and video cards handle all your sound and visual stuff respectively. They generally do a better job than the motherboard does so if you are using intensive applications such as CAD or gaming you may want dedicated graphics and sound. Ram is memory that is used while the computer is on for running programs, generally more ram helps you run more programs simultaneously. Your keyboard and mouse are input devices that you use to type or navigate the computer and generally connect via usb or ps2 ports on the back of your computer. The monitor displays what your computer is doing and allows you to interface with your machine graphically. Your CD drive is an optical device that lets your read CD's you can also get drives that read DVD's blu-ray discs and hd dvds.
Basic Computer Elements: In generally used computers one can find that there are four basic computer elements following are the elements.
(1) ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit): The ALU is the digital circuit that is able to perform different types of functionxs, such as Addition, Subtraction, and Multiplication etc.
(2) Control Unit: The control unit is the partx of CPU (centrxal processing unit) or other devices that performs the duty to direct its operations, the control unit is just like a finite state machinx that has sxme finite statxs and the transaction from one state to the other state is called action.
(3) Memory: The memory is another very important element of the computer without memory the computer can't operate in today's modern age it is called the RAM (Random Access Memory) when ever we give some instruction to the computer it passes through RAM to the Processor and the processor processes it and send it back. The main reason behind memory is that it is faster in communication with the processor then the other memory devices such as hard disk etc.
(4) Input/output devices: The input and output devices is another important element for example the processor is the input device and it gives !ts output to the monitor etc for output.
There is another very important point the basic elements are considered as CPU (central Processing Unit), I/O devices, and Memory actually the CPU is the composition of different other elements such as ALU, Control Unit, Registers which is another type of memory

How do I copy a video from you tube to my computer?
Every YouTube video has an sharing option available, unless otherwise requested by the uploading account. There are apps available that allow someone to download them into your computer or device.
It all depends on a number of things. The first part is, do you want the computer to be on the same network (connecting to the Internet)? If so, plug it into the router/switch/hub with an RJ-45 (most people just call it an Ethernet cable). But if you want two computers to be able to share files (connect to each other) on a "simple network" then it might depend on what kind of hardware you have. If you have a parallel slot, use that if you just have two computers. If you don't have a parallel slot then you should hopefully have some sort of Network Interface Card (NIC) and there will be an RJ-45 slot. If you have Windows, you'll have to do a setup with the local network wizard (or something like that). With Linux or Mac, use Samba. Hope this helps, and hope I didn't mess something up. -Zofc
