CPU
computer processing unit
The facts
1.The CPU is mainly used for manipulating data and coordinating the activities of the computer's other physical components
2. The CPU has many different parts needed to retrieve, store, and calculate data in a quick and easy way
3. The RAM(random processing unit(we'll talk about that later)) sends crucial instructions to the CPU through the BUS, the BUS is a group of wires that connects the two together
4. The CPU decodes this information and starts sending the appropriate data to the right systems in the computer
5. the signals then pass through the ALU(arithmetic logic unit) to do some more logical equations to the info it was given

The Past to The Present
The Monitor
Drives
There are two main types of drives: SSD (the solid state drive) and optical (or O) drive.
The optical scanned a disc you inserted and downloaded it onto the storage device. this was cheaper but created heat, meaning you either had to build a fan inside or have a fan near you.
the SSD is a solid scanning device which is more expensive but is a lot more effective, the computer would not heat up.
Motherboards
the Motherboard is found in computers and many other consoles like a PS 2 (definatley a random console I thought out of the blue). It held and stored any information and allowed communications between many of the crucial components of the system.
unlike other single components, the motherboard holds many smaller and significant units.
