Rationale:

In the world today, every aspect of man make use of the computer, or is related and connected to the use of the computer. The human legs cannot walk without the brain neither can the brain do the walking without the legs, so also the computer. The computer can only perform its functions with the connection of some interrelated parts to form a computer system. Therefore, there is a need to teach our learners about the computers system since the computer is useless without its system.
