INTERNAL COMPONENTS
FOR THE TECHNICALLY
LITERATE
INTRODUCTION
Computers are a rising form of technology we are using
  more of. This slideshow is to show how it works. It will
  teach you these things while keeping things simple for
  you non-technical people (if you are unfamiliar with
  technical terms, I suggest you to an identical PowerPoint
  but with less technical mumbo jumbo for those who
  don’t understand)
PROCESSORS
A CPU (central processing unit) takes in
   data and processes it. Questions go
   through the processor to give the
   outcome of what is requested. The CPU
   size is measured in bits.
Speed of CPUs are measured in Mega
  Hertz, this means how fast it processes
  information.
MEMORY

ROM (read only memory) is memory that cannot be edited or
  modified, but can only be read. There are some types where this
  can be modified, but only slowly and with difficulty.
RAM (random access memory) is memory that can be edited and
  modified by anyone. It is randomly accessed by anyone
Flash memory is a portable memory device that stores memory
   you want to use in multiple places
EPROM- This is like ROM, but can be erased or re-modified to have
  a different purpose.
ADAPTER CARDS
PCI- (Peripheral Component Interconnect) This connects
  between computers and peripherals like SATA cables.
  This uses parallel bus
PCIe- (Peripheral Component Interconnect express) This is a
  smaller and faster version of PCI. This uses serial point-
  to-point
STORAGE CONNECTORS
SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) is a standard that
  uses a serial link to connect drives.
PATA (Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment) Is a Standard
   that connects hard drives and optical drives and uses a parallel
   signaling technology.
SCSI (parallel interface supporting multiple devices on one cable.
INPUTS
Touchscreen lets you take all your input commands to your
  fingers, to touch the screen with input commands.
Graphics tablets work like touchscreens, but are in tablet
  form
Games controllers are restricted to over a dozen buttons
  and are meant to be gripped by the hand
Microphone takes in voice
Keyboard takes inputs of letters
OUTPUTS
A printer is a device that prints what has been typed into a
   document on a computer.
A monitor is a device that outputs from the computer, and is
  viewed by the user
Speakers are devices that output sound from the computers
