The Hardware Components of the Computer are further classified as:
1. Input Devices.
2. Output Devices.
3. Processing Devices.
4. Memory (Storage) Devices.

The computer hardware is categorized into input, processing, storage,


output, and communication devices. Each category is used for different
functions. Input devices are used to enter data into the computer, then
the processing component takes over to process it into information.
During processing, it is stored in the main memory and secondary
storage for future reference. To display the data being processed or
results output devices are used and it can be shared with help of
communication components.
The Graphical representation of Hardware and its various types along
