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.
Your Keyboard This is not Sir Elton John's instrument of choice, but rather the basic input device you type on. This is what you type on to produce all those letters, numbers and symbols that appear on the aforementioned computer monitor.
Defining The Mouse No, not Mickey or Mighty, but this basic input device can save the day for you. That's because this device, which incidentally looks like a mouse, is connected to your computer so you can click on objects and move your pointer around.
Your Computer This is the device that houses the "Guts" of your computer. This is where all the good stuff is housed in. Some of the items you can find inside the computer case are your hard drive, motherboard, RAM, sound card and graphics card, so as you can see, without the computer case to hold those devices in, you will not be able to use it.
Defining The Printer This is the device that lets you turn what you see on your computer into hard copies on paper. The most popular printer types are laser and ink jet. Some of the more fancy printers include fax machines and photocopiers built in, as well as scanners to create digital reprints of hard documents.
If you're one of those people who finds a simple computer too "space age" or newfangled, this article should have helped. This information may be common knowledge to majority of readers (maybe even yourself), but there are still some readers who may need to know the things above.
