Have you ever wondered what the names are of the devices connected to, and in, your computer? Don't feel ashamed if you do, because so many people in the world do not own a computer or own one but still refer to the mouse as "that thingamabob next to my keyboard" or actually look for an "any" key. So fret no more, here is more information on your computer's vital components, what they are and how they work.
A computer would not be able to function without one or more of the parts below. Most of the time, your computer would need a keyboard, mouse, Monitor, printer and the tower or case itself.
Defining The Monitor The monitor is the component that resembles your television screen. There are many types of monitors that our available to consumers. The longest-running type would be the CRT monitor, which is, in many ways, just like your television monitor. However, one particular variety of monitor is a bigger hit with consumers nowadays - it's the LCD monitor. LCD monitors boast of a better picture quality and smaller overall size.
Defining The Keyboard The keyboard is one of the most basic input devices. You would need this to type as you'll see all the letters, numbers and symbols you need, and maybe a few other extra characters.
Your Mouse This is the other most basic input device. It looks like a mouse in some ways, and is connected at the back of your computer (or at the side), allowing you to move the arrow pointer and click on links or icons.
Computer. As its name may imply, you cannot have a computer without a computer. This is where technology works its wonders for you. The computer case or tower basically contains all the cool and crazy contraptions that allow you to work, play games or surf the 'net on it - these include a hard drive, RAM, motherboard, graphics card and others.
Your Printer Finally, this device would allow you to create actual hard copies of what you see on the monitor. You can choose laser or ink jet printer, among other varieties. Some printers also come with built in scanners (to digitize paper documents), fax machines, and photocopiers.
This is just some basic information that has, hopefully, helped you better understand your computer. You may think that most people should already know this but you might be surprised at how many do not.
