After reading this, you'll know all about the inside and outside of a computer
Input Devices
As you know, many different devices have lots of different functions and one of the 4 main functions is input devices. Input devices are basically anything you use to insert information into your computer like a mouse, keyboards and joystick.
Output Devices
Output devices are very important because they put the information to use by displaying it and they are one of the only reasons that we are able to view any piece of information or work. Many examples of output devices are: speakers, screens, headphones and of course printers.
Operating Systems
An operating system is basically the most important program on a computer and without it, the computer wouldn't work. Operating systems take care of the memory, software and hardware and some examples of it are: Windows, IOS, Android and of course much much more.

Monitor
A computer’s monitor is another word for screen and what a monitor does is it displays what the user wants to view on its computer. Many different computers have different types of monitors especially in the olden days where they couldn't even view their information.
CPU
Many people call the CPU “the brains” of a computer because it develops and runs the operation system which is the input/output operation. CPU stands for central processing unit which shows how important the CPU is.
RAM
RAM is made up of mini memory chips that are located on the motherboard of your laptop. What it does is load all the programs in a fast way rather than loading programs on a hard disk which will make it really slow. RAM stands for Random Access Memory and by the name you should be able to tell what its all about.
Motherboard
Most of the things that I talked about on top like the RAM, CPU, etc. are all located in the mother board. The mother board is also called the main board and backbone of the computer. The mother board is simply what makes all of the components on your computer work together.
