Notes de l'éditeur
- Hardware--ask parts. Ask them to name parts in laptop. 1. Hard drive--brains of computer. Not really brains--just a bunch of electronic circuits. Hard drive--a circular magnetic disk--looks like a record, only flimsier. central processing unit of the computer--all the rest are peripherals and have to be plugged into the hard drive. Has the on switch. Has to be plugged in of course. Drives: C drive--main drive. Other drives--you can insert things: drive A: floppy disks--show--little magnetic disk inside this--holds less than hard disk. CD-ROM drive, Zip drive ports--to plug in peripherals--little pictures--icons show what plugs into what. Don’t force anything--little pins--don’t want to bend. 2. Monitor--display--(output device) so we can see what’s in the hard drive.Has an on switch, but if hard drive not on, won’t display anything. 3. Keyboard--Input device--how we enter info into the hard drive, give commands--how we talk to computer. 4. Mouse--commands w/o needing to type. Moves the cursor (little arrow) around on the screen 5. Modem--necessary to connect to the Internet--connect to other computers. 6.Printer --output device--make a hard copy 7. Laptop--identify these--most built in.
