New LearningLast year you found out that there are lots of parts inside a computer that help to make it work and we have already looked at some of the parts that are on the motherboard (the CPU, ROM and RAM).
Today we will be looking at some of the other components that make up your computer hardware. Although you will be focusing on the hardware which is located in the system unit today, it is important to note that the peripherals that you use to both input data into your computer and see the results of processing (output) are also part of your hardware. Anything that you can physically touch on your computer is known as hardware. |
