MICROCHIP: a intergrated circuit i dont know if it's true but it's thier next to the definition

BASIC PARTS OF A COMPUTER just for a reminder

MONITOR-displays the information you seek and that you put see...for example going to http://www.google.com/ and you find a picture and you put full size image, the monitor will enlarge the picture as you commanded KEYWORD- a mehanism that you use to type then it will show up on the moniter for microsoft word document or for the URL or txt MOUSE- the mouse controls the arrow shown on the monitor to click on stuff like your document to check it out CPU-It's acualy called the central processor unit, it has a USB port, optical drive (cd-rom,dvd-rom) and more stuff, the point is that it's the main part of the computer systemem

!!!!!!!!!!!FaCtS AbOuT TeChNoLoGy (DAY 1).!!!!!!!!!!!



1).Did you know that since microprocessors makes alot of heat, a heat sink like the picture above will take all that heat away so the chips components wont melt 2).Isn't it amazing that even when your computer is shutdown that CMOS (a little memory chip that has a tiny battery, that is below)can keep possesion of the information of the computer's hardware configuration
