is the piece of
computer hardware
used to input text,
characters, and other
commands into a
computer or similar
device.
5. An object that is used to project rays of light,
especially an apparatus with a system of lenses for
projecting slides or film onto a screen.
is an electronic device that shows pictures for
computers.
A machine for printing text or pictures onto
paper, especially one linked to a computer.
is a hardware device that connects to a computer
to generate sound.
6. The part of a computer in which
operations are controlled and
executed.
A printed circuit board containing the principal
components of a computer or other device, with
connectors into which other circuit boards can be
slotted.
is an electronic device that connects a
computer to a computer network, usually a
LAN.
is an expansion card or IC for producing sound on a
computer that can be heard through speakers or
headphones.
7. is a data storage device that uses magnetic storage to store
and retrieve digital information using one or more rigid rapidly
rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material.
A small plastic disc on which music or other digital
information is stored, and from which the
information can be read using reflected laser light.
is a digital optical disc data storage format.
is an electronic flash memory data
storage device used for storing digital
information.
8. A computer that is portable and
suitable for use while traveling.

10. A computer network is a set of
computers connected together
for the purpose of sharing
resources. The most common
resource shared today is
connection to the Internet.
11. Describes the type of
physical system used to carry
a communication signal from
one system to another.
12. it is a type of wiring in which two conductors of a single circuit are
twisted together for the purposes of canceling out electromagnetic
interference (EMI) from external sources;
is a type of electrical cable that has an inner conductor
surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular
conducting
a thin flexible fiber with a glass core through
which light signals can be sent with very little loss of
strength.

Area Network, or sometimes Small Area Network.
14. A printed circuit board containing the principal components of
a computer or other device, with connectors into which other
circuit boards can be slotted.
A central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within
a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer
program by performing the basic.
A peripheral device is generally defined as any auxiliary device
such as a computer mouse or keyboard that connects to and
works with the computer in some way.
15. is the device that displays
the information
produced by the video
card. A monitor can
come in either LCD or
CRT format.
is an expansion card
which generates a feed

display Frequently, these
are advertised as
discrete or dedicated
graphics cards.
is a pointing device
(hand control) that
detects two-
dimensional motion
relative to a surface.

contained storage
device containing a
read-write
mechanism plus one
or more hard disks,
inside a sealed unit.
