This chapter teaches the components that make up a personal computer. A personal computer comprises many components, most notably the CPU, motherboard, RAM, hard disk, removable media, and input/output devices.
Identify the functions of the hardware in a computer system:
· Motherboard is an important computer component because it's what everything else connects to! The motherboard is a decently sized circuit board that lets other components communicate.
· Central Processing Unit (CPU)
is referred to as a computer's brain and is the machine's workhorse. It performs the calculations needed by a system and can vary in speed.
· Random-access Memory (RAM)
is temporary memory.
· Graphics Card- The major work of the graphics card is to create graphics and images that can be shown on a monitor. If your computer does not have a graphics card, you will not see the data, and the computer would be useless.
· Hard Drive- Hard drive would be another component of a computer. A hard drive is used to store programs and files on your computer.
· Network Card- A network card would be a separate card or integrated into the motherboard. The major work of a network card is to enable your computer to connect to the network and Internet.
· Monitor- It is an important component of the computer. Even though the computer is great, without a monitor, it also would be useless.
· USB Ports- USB port is also one of the most important computer components. The USB port enables you to connect some computer accessories, such as a mouse, keyboard, external hard drive, etc. So, it would be an essential part of the computer.
Computer hardware (usually called
hardware when a computing context is concerned) is the collection of physical elements that constitutes a computer system. Computer hardware is the physical parts or components of a computer, such as a monitor, mouse, keyboard, computer data storage, hard disk drive (HDD), graphic cards, sound cards, memory, motherboard, etc., which are tangible, physical objects. In contrast, the software is instructions that can be stored and run by hardware.
Software is any machine-readable instruction that directs a computer's processor to perform specific operations. A combination of hardware and software forms a usable computing system.
Von Neumann Architecture Scheme
The template for all modern computers is the Von Neumann architecture, detailed in a 1945 paper by Hungarian mathematician John von Neumann. This describes a design architecture for an electronic digital computer with subdivisions of a processing unit consisting of an arithmetic logic unit and processor registers, a control unit containing an instruction register and program counter, a memory to store both data and instructions, external mass storage, and input and output mechanisms.[3] The term's meaning has evolved to mean a stored-program computer where an instruction fetch and a data operation cannot co.

The basic parts of a desktop computer are the computer case, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord. Each part plays an important role whenever you use a computer.
The most basic computer setup usually includes the computer case, monitor, keyboard, and mouse, but you can plug many different types of devices into the extra ports on your computer. These devices are called peripherals. Let's take a look at some of the most common ones.
The computer case is the metal and plastic box that contains the main components of the computer, including the motherboard, central processing unit (CPU), and power supply. The front of the case usually has an On/Off button and one or more optical drives.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Basic parts of a computer and how they work:
2. 5 parts of a computer
Whether it's a gaming system or a home PC, the five main components that make
up a typical, present-day computer include:
• A motherboard
• A Central Processing Unit (CPU)
• A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), also known as a video card
• Random Access Memory (RAM), also known as volatile memory
• Storage: Solid State Drive (SSD) or Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
In terms of construction, each of these main components are attached to the
motherboard and then put into a protective case—resembling the clean, polished
look most of us are accustomed to seeing.
1. Motherboard
What it is: All components of a computer communicate through a circuit board
called the motherboard, as was mentioned above.
The official motherboard definition is that it’s the main printed circuit board within a
computer, which means it’s the primary piece of circuitry that all of the other pieces
plug into to create a cohesive whole.
How does it work: The motherboard is the backbone that ties the computer’s
components together at one spot and allows them to talk to each other. Without it,
none of the computer pieces, such as the CPU, GPU, or hard drive, could interact.
Total motherboard functionality is necessary for a computer to work well. If your
motherboard is on the fritz, expect some big problems.
Think of the motherboard as the glue that holds everything else together.
(The Raspberry Pi, like the one featured in our summer course for kids, Build and
Code Your Own Take-Home Laptop, is a motherboard.)
The motherboard’s video card and Central Processing Unit are contained in an
integrated (built-in) chipset, shown in the picture below:
3. This is where input/output devices such as a keyboard, mouse, and speakers get
plugged in.
2. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
What it is: The CPU is often called the "brain" of a computer, thanks to its direct
plug connection to the motherboard, and communication with all of the
computer’s other components.
How does it work: Whenever we write a line of code (in Python, Java, C++, or
any other programming language), it's broken down into assembly language—
which is a language that the processor can understand. It fetches, decodes, and
executes these instructions.
And that’s where the CPU comes in—all the processes a computer handles are
taken care of by the CPU.
4. 3. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
What it is:A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit
designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images
in a frame buffer intended for output to a display device. GPUs are used in embedded
systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.
.
How does it work:Graphics card take the data from our computers central
processing unit9CPU) and turn it into visual information us to see our monitor.
Graphics cards often communicate directly with the display monitor, meaning a
$1,000 graphics card won't be of much use if there isn't a high-end monitor
connected to it.
4. Random Access Memory (RAM)
What it is: RAM, also known as volatile memory, stores data regarding
frequently accessed programs and processes. (It's called volatile memory because
it gets erased every time the computer restarts.)
How does it work: RAM helps programs and games start up and close quickly.
5. 5. Storage
What it is: All computers need somewhere to store their data. Modern computers
either use a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or Solid State Drive (SSD).
How does it work: HDDs are made of an actual disk onto which data is stored.
The disk is read by a mechanical arm. (HDDs are cheaper than SSDs, but are
slowly becoming more and more obsolete.)
SSDs (think SIM cards) have no moving parts and are faster than a hard drive,
because no time is spent waiting for a mechanical arm to find data on a physical
location on the disk.
