Answer to Question 2

The four hardware components of a computer are input, output, the central processing unit, and storage. Input devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, and joystick, accept signals and convert them to a digital format that matches the signal's meaning.
The most common output device is the flat panel display. Other common output devices include computer printers and speakers, as well as a variety of controllers that operate machinery, from lawn sprinklers and lights to an aircraft's landing gear.
The central processing unit (CPU) handles information processing, calculations, and control tasks.
Information is stored in the computer in primary storage areas such as random access memory (RAM) and secondary storage devices such as computer hard drives, magnetic tapes, etc.
