Some chips on the motherboards to perform tasks (tasks like moving data around or running some algorithms), and a user interface device to show the data to the user (computer monitor) through which the user can interact with the system (keyboard and mouse)
The first thing that people started needing more is storage capacity. Back then, like 7 years back, you probably had more external hard drives than you had computers in your home. Cameras started to increase in megapixel count, and all those home videos of birthdays and family trips on digital video cameras needed a lot of space to store.
