C. Abstraction
You need computer connectors when you have to connect a DVD to the
computer in order to see a movie. These are fibre optic computer connectors that are
able to transmit audio and video through the medium of light.
Video cables are another type of computer connectors. Video Graphics Array (VGA)
connectors are a common form of computer connectors between the computer and
HD TV. The VGA has 15 pins that could connect a laptop to a TV screen or even a
projector.
Data cables are a set of important computer connectors that are used to transfer
data from one device to another. They are mainly used to connect digital camcorders
as well as external hard drives to the computer.
There are some other computer connectors that are network related. This includes
the telephone connection. This is a cable that connects the telephone to the
computer in order to allow it to access the Internet through DSL / ADSL modems.
In case of wired networking around the world, it is the Ethernet connector that looks
similar to a phone connector which is used. The computer is not only a box. It has a
host of purposes. The main thing is that proper computer connectors should be
used. Everybody who uses a computer should know how the computer can be
connected to various other gadgets. This is because there are many high tech
components that have to be connected by using computer connectors to PCs in
order to enable information to reach the computers.
Everyone knows about computer power connectors. It will suffice to say here that the male
end of the power connector should be connected to the wall socket or the UPS while the
female end should be connected to the power socket of the computer.

3. D. Application
Gavino O. Tan, a grade 9 learner of Kiwakat National High School was told by
his older brother to purchase replacement cable for their computer and 1 unit of Wifi
Router and an MP3 Cable. He went to local computer stores in their place and found
the same items with different prices. He inspected carefully the specifications of each
item and decided to buy the item that offer the same quality but is cost effective. He
ended up going home along with him some savings which his brother has also given
it to him.
Questions:
Answer briefly the following questions in your answer sheet.
1. If you were Gavino would you buy the same way he did? Why?
II. Enrichment Activity
