The document discusses four main parts of a computer:
1. The motherboard is the central printed circuit board that connects the main computer components and is sometimes called the mainboard or logic board.
2. A mouse is a pointing device that detects motion on a surface and translates it to cursor movement on a screen. It has buttons to perform operations.
3. A keyboard uses an arrangement of buttons to input letters, numbers, and symbols by pressing keys that act as switches. Combinations of keys can trigger actions.
4. A printer produces hard copies of electronic documents, usually on paper. Many connect locally via cable while network printers connect directly to a network.
