Computer System Components Overview
📌 The learning objective was to enable students to differentiate and understand how the three components of a computer system—software, hardware, and brainware—interact to form a functional computer system.
💻 A computer system is defined as an integrated unit of hardware, software, and users (brainware) that collaborates to receive input, process data, store information, and produce output.
🧠 The brainware (user) is emphasized as the key component, as software and hardware cannot function or form a system without the user to operate them.

Hardware Classification and Function
⌨️ Hardware consists of the physical components that can be seen and touched, categorized into four main types: Input Devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse), Processing Devices (e.g., CPU), Output Devices (e.g., monitor, printer), and Storage Devices.
💾 Input devices are used to enter data, processing devices manage and transform that input data, and output devices display the resulting information.

Software Types and Roles
⚙️ Software is defined as the digital instructions and programs used to operate the computer and manage hardware, divided into two main categories: System Software and Application Software.
🌐 System software (like Windows, Linux, MacOS) manages and controls the physical devices, while Application software (like Word, Excel, Photoshop) assists the user in performing specific tasks.

Brainware Roles and Importance
🧑‍💻 Brainware refers to the users who operate the computer; types include the User (the general operator), Administrator (system/network manager), and Programmer (who writes and develops software).
💡 The collective conclusion stresses that the brainware is the key driver; no matter how advanced the hardware or software is, the system will not operate without human initiation and utilization.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Students actively participated in group discussions (LKPD) addressing practical issues like sudden screen failures (caused by driver issues, overheating, or viruses) and laptop overheating (due to heavy processor load or cooling system issues).
➡️ Key solutions for system issues discussed included updating drivers, cleaning dust from cooling systems, isolating viruses by cutting internet connections, and performing regular system updates to patch bugs and enhance security.
➡️ The session concluded with students correctly identifying the three components and recognizing that the brainware acts as the essential "driver" that activates and utilizes the hardware and software ecosystem.
