Computers are devices that process information with accuracy and astonishing speed (World Book, 908). The most powerful computer can perform tens of billions of calculations per second, computers are made up of many computer components, such as: Microprocessors, memory chips, input devices, storage devices, and output devices. Microprocessors Control computer systems and processes information (pcguide). The information is encoded as units of electric charge tat represents numbers. The Microprocessor consists of thousands or even millions of switches called transistors other electronic devices, and wires. These parts are arranged in circuits and built into a chip usually made of silicon that is no larger than a fingernail.
Modems are devices that enable Computers to communicate with one another over an Internet telephone line. The Computer runs on memory chips and micropro

The mechanics of Computers is very complicated for the novice students in the computer science education, but for a Intermediate student like myself, I understand a lot more about computers than when I was a beginner.

The Mouse is a palm-size device that the computer operator moves about on flat surface such as a table, chair, mouse pad, etc. The Microsoft windows has many different versions of itself, beginning with Window 3. I have also learned a lot about the functions of the input and output devices, I have also learned a lot about computers software such as windows and also Macintosh Apple computer software.
