What We Did Today
Well, we actually didn't do much this class today. The first ten minutes of class, we were asked to do All The Right Type, and for the rest of the time, Mr. Case talked about the motherboard, BIOS, and RAM.
Basically, the motherboard is the most important component of the computer. It's where everything is connected, including the CPU. (I remember once calling the motherboard a mothership. Hehehehe.)
RAM stands up for random access memory, and it's different from the hard drive in a way that it doesn't store information. It only remembers when the computer is on, but when it is turned off and turned on again, it looses everything. Generally, the disk drive is where you store your files, but RAM is only there when open the files up. For example, the hard drive is in a way like a bookshelf, and the RAM is the desk. A disk drive can story 1 GB of information.
BIOS is the part of the computer that reminds it what it's supposed to do. When you power up your computer, it tells each part of the computer what it is and what its role is. Without the BIOS, the computer would only be plastic and metal with electricity going through it because it doesn't know what to do.
In the past decade, people were easily ripped off when they buy a computer, because only a year or two after that, their computer would be outdated already. The computer gets improved really quickly.
That's all I remember right now. I'd try and search up these three things to get into more details, because they might be on the test or something.
