The Computer
- 2. An electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program.
- 4. An USB Composite Device is a peripheral device that supports more than one device class. Many different devices are implemented as composite devices. a generic term for any device (e.g., a graphics tablet, mouse, stylus, pointing stick, or trackball) used to control the movement of a cursor on a computer screen. A PANEL OF KEYS THAT OPERATE A COMPUTER OR TYPEWRITER. Video input devices are used to digitize images or video from the outside world into the computer. The information can be stored in a multitude of formats depending on the user's requirement.
- 5. A computer monitor comprises is an output device which displays the information in pictorial form. Headphones (or head-phones in the early days of telephony and radio) are a pair of small loudspeaker drivers that are designed to be worn on or around the head over a user's ears. A computer speaker is a hardware device that connects to a computer to generate sound. an object that is used to project rays of light, especially an apparatus with a system of lenses for projecting slides or film onto a screen.
- 6. a device that can be slotted into a computer to allow the use of audio components for multimedia applications. Translate sound card to a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted. A, NIC, or Network card is an electronic device that connects a computer to a computer network, usually a LAN. the part of a computer in which operations are controlled and executed.
- 7. is one of the most common types of storage used with computers and is the technology that many computer hard drives use. Another common storage is optical storage, which uses lasers and lights as its method of reading and writing data. Flash memory has started to replace magnetic media as it becomes cheaper as it is the more efficient and reliable solution. Storing data online and in cloud storage is becoming popular as people need to access their data from more than one device.

- 9. a small computer that contains a microprocessor as its central processor. a computer that is portable and suitable for use while traveling. A workstation is a special computer designed for technical or scientific applications.
- 13. LAN - Local Area Network. WAN - Wide Area Network. WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network. MAN - Metropolitan Area Network. SAN - Storage Area Network, System Area Network, Server Area Network, or sometimes Small Area Network.
- 14. a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted. the part of a computer in which operations are controlled and executed. is "an ancillary device used to put information into and get information out of the computer".
- 15. a printed circuit board controlling output to a display screen. A computer monitor comprises is an output device which displays the information in pictorial form. a high-capacity, self-contained storage device containing a read-write mechanism plus one or more hard disks, inside a sealed unit. Also called hard disk drive. Pointing devices are the most commonly used input devices today. A pointing device is any human interface device that allows a user to input spatial data to a computer. In the case of mouse and touchpads,
