The Basics

Just though i would give an introductory brief of this blog. Basically i have made this for an Assignment for one of my classes. I am to describe the inner workings of a computer in a language that people new to computers will be able to understand. Yet keep it experiences so the people marking it will see that i myself understand some of the more complex principles. So lets starts, A computer most people relate to as the box you see beside your computer screen...have any of you ever dared to venture inside to see what was going on, No? Well one day you may have to and this should give you the knowledge to get you started. Inside the computer there are a great number of hardware pieces the most common are, Motherboard, Hard drive, processor, RAM, Graphics card (Optional) and Sound card (Optional). Some other important parts are things like power supply and heat sinks...ps don't touch the power supply without turning off the power...And always make sure to ground yourself when touching anything inside the case. Regardless of weather or not the power is off. The computer can store up electric in the computer ever after it is turned off. The shock will not kill but will hurt...ALOT!
