Lesson 4
Hardware parts
A
central
processing unit
(CPU)
is an important part of almost every
computer.
The CPU sends signals to control the other parts of the computer,
almost like how a brain controls a body.
T
he
CPU is an
electronic
machine
that works on a list of things to do, called 'instructions'. It reads
the list of instructions, one instruction at a time, and does each
one in order. A list of instructions that a CPU can read is a
computer
program.
A machine that can perform the job of a CPU is often called a
Turing
machine
by
mathematicians.
A computer mouse is an input device that is most often used with a personal computer. Moving a mouse along a flat surface can move the on-screen cursor to different items on the screen. Items can be moved or selected by pressing the mouse buttons (called clicking).
I
t
is called a computer mouse because of the wire that connects the
mouse to the computer. The people who designed the first computer
mice thought that it looked like the tail on a
mouse.
Today, many computer mice use
wireless
technology
and have no wire.
The motherboard or mainboard is the main circuit board in a complex electronic system, like a computer. It is the most 'central' part of a computer. All of the different parts of the computer are connected to the motherboard. This lets them work together. In most computers, the motherboard is a big green board, but many come in different colours like black, red and yellow.
A computer monitor is an electronic device that shows pictures. Monitors often look similar to televisions. The main difference between a monitor and a television is that a monitor does not have a television tuner to change channels. Monitors often have higher display resolution than televisions. A high display resolution makes it easier to see smaller letters and fine graphics.
