CPU
The fundamental operation of most CPUs, regardless of the physical form they take, is to
execute a sequence of stored instructions called a "program."
Monitor
It shows results of data processing, these range from simple texts to images or
videos.
Mouse
The main function of the mouse is to move the cursor over the screen in a graphical
interface ( GUI ), allowing you to interact with the elements on the screen through its
different buttons, especially the two main and basic buttons ( left click and right click).
).
Keyboard
Modern keyboards have several additional functions beyond entering
data into a computer, with the inclusion of keys customized by the
manufacturer that include a specific function for an application.
Printer
The printer is a peripheral that allows you to print (on paper)

containing an image is placed on a transparent glass surface, under the glass
there is a special lens that scans the image existing on the paper;
HDD
It is the heart of the computer, where files, programs and, above all, the
operating system are emptied (since without it the machine would not
work)
The horns
They allow the computer to emit different sounds or music, and
sometimes can be a way of interpreting the information
provided by the computer itself.
RAM
RAM memory is made up of one or more chips and is used as working memory to save
or delete our programs and data. It is a type of temporary memory that loses its data
when the computer runs out of power.
web cam
A web camera or web cam is a small digital camera connected to a computer,
which can capture images and transmit them over the Internet live, either to a
web page or to another or other computers privately.
CD-Rom Drive
It is the unit in charge of reading an optical disc ,
that is, reading using a non- rechargeable
laser beam used for storing information in
computer systems .
floppy drive
It is the unit where the reading of flexible disks or floppy disks, a data
storage medium, is carried out. Nowadays, most recent model computers
no longer even take this device into account.
UPS
According to information provided by Zigor, other additional functions of the
UPS are:• Electronic current regulator (AVR)• Protection of loads against
overvoltages and voltage spikes• Protection against high and low
voltage, overload and short circuit• Line protection telephone or local computer
network against spikes • Monitoring via RS232, USB and/or local network.
Windows
Microsoft Windows (generally known as Windows), is the name
of a family of operating systems developed and sold by
Microsoft. Microsoft introduced an operating environment called
Windows on November 25, 1985 as a complement to MS-DOS
in response to growing interest in graphical user interfaces
(GUIs).
Icon
An icon or icon is, in computing, a pictogram that is used to represent
files, folders, programs, storage units, etc. on a graphical operating
system.
Software
Software is known as the logical
equipment or software of a computer
system, which includes the set of
necessary logical components that make it possible to carry out
specific tasks, as opposed to the physical components that are called
hardware.
Hardware
The term hardware (IPA pronunciation: [ˈhɑːdˌwɛə] or [ˈhɑɹdˌwɛɚ]) refers to all tangible parts of a
computer system; Its components are: electrical, electronic, electromechanical and mechanical.
USB
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry standard developed in the mid-
1990s that defines the cables, connectors, and protocols used in a bus to
connect, communicate, and provide power between computers and
peripherals. and electronic devices.
Graphic card
A graphics card, video card, video card, graphics accelerator card or display
adapter is an expansion card for a computer or computer, responsible for
processing the data coming from the CPU.
A network card
A network card or network adapter is a
peripheral that allows communication with devices connected to each
other and also allows resources to be shared between two or more
computers (hard drives, CD-ROMs, printers, etc.).
Mothers Card
The motherboard, also known as motherboard or mainboard, is a
printed circuit board to which the components that make up the
computer are connected.
Power supply
In electronics, a power supply is a device that converts alternating current into one or
more direct currents, which feed the different circuits of the electronic device to which
it is connected (computer, television, printer, router, etc.).
a motherboard
A motherboard (sometimes alternatively known as motherboard,
mainboard, flat plate or logic board, or colloquially, a motherboard) is the
main printed circuit board (PCB) found in computers.
a sound card
A sound card or sound card is an expansion card for computers that allows audio output
controlled by a computer program called a driver.
The microprocessor
The microprocessor (or simply processor) is the central and most
complex integrated circuit of a computer system; By way of illustration, it is
often called by analogy the "brain" of a computer.
BIOS
From the English "Basic Input/Output System" (Basic Input/Output System). The
BIOS is a pre-installed program on Windows-based computers (Not Macs),
which the computer uses to boot.
Blu-ray
Blu-ray is an optical disc format similar to CD and DVD. It was developed to
record and play back high-definition video, and to store large amounts of data.
Bluetooth
Short-range wireless data transmission standard via radio frequency (about 10
meters). Among many other applications, it allows communication between
video cameras, cell phones and computers that have this protocol, for the
exchange of digitized data (video, audio, text).
Cable Modem
A cable modem is a device that allows you to connect your computer to a
local cable TV line at high speeds.
Chip
A computer chip is a piece of Silicon with an electronic circuit built into it. However,
the term chip is popularly used to refer to various components within a computer.
For example, a graphics chip, central processor or even memories.
DVD
Digital Versatile Disc is a medium for storing binary data with the same
performance and size as the CD-ROM, although with thinner tracks, which
increases the density of the recordable information on
the surface and therefore gives you greater storage
capacity than a CD.
HDMI
Acronym for "High-Definition Multimedia Interface". It is a digital interface to transmit audio and video
data on the same cable. Most HDTVs, DVDs, Blu-rays, cable boxes, and game consoles have HDMI
support.
Hub

is commonly used to define elements that connect externally to a computer port.
A hearing aid
A hearing aid or audiophone is an electronic device that amplifies and changes sound
to allow better communication. Hearing aids receive sound through a microphone,
which then converts the sound waves into electrical signals.
