The document discusses several key components of a computer: the motherboard, which is the central system and connects other components like memory sockets; the hard disk drive, which stores files and data but is not a memory device; input devices like keyboards and mice that allow entering data; the computer bus that reduces the number of communication pathways between components; memory sockets where working data is temporarily saved; the keyboard controller that handles keyboard and mouse input; and the monitor that displays output.

COMPONENTS

2. Motherboard
The Motherboard is the central
nerve system of the computer,
without this the computer wouldn’t
run. This is where the bus, memory
socket, keyboard controller,
scanner cards, and the supporting
clips are.

3. Hard Desk Drive
The hard desk drive acts as a file
cabinet. It stores data, files, and
papers, but it is not a memory
device. It makes finding things
easier.

4. Input device
Input device is any devices that once connected to the
outside of the computer. For example keyboard, mouse,
scanner, pen, etc. They all can change the data in your
computer.

5. The Computer bus
Your computer has pathways for components to communicate.
The computer bus (also know as the data highway) reduces
the number of paths the components go through. It does this
by creating a single data channel

6. Memory Socket
The Memory Socket is where the data
your working on is saved. If you don’t
save the data your working on to the
hard desk drive there is a 99% that if
you lose power your data well be lost
forever, becoming history !

7. Keyboard Controller
The keyboard controller is
responsible for handling input
received from the computer
keyboard as well as the mouse

8. Monitor
The monitor is the actual
display you see the words,
pictures, and data on. The
smaller the DPI (Dots per
inch) the better.
