  1. Vocabulary Hardware Flash cards Computer Science – Espinosa

  2. Hardware ? • A piece of silicon with an electronic circuit embedded in it. • Answer next slide

  3. chip

  4. Hardware ? • Acronym for super-thin displays that are used in laptop computer screens and flat panel monitors. • Answer next slide

  5. LCD • Liquid Crystal Display • they use up much less power than standard CRT (Cathode-Ray Tube) monitors – The old big tv type monitors

  6. Hardware ? • a cable made up of super-thin filaments of glass or other transparent materials that can carry beams of light. • Because a _________ is light-based, data can be sent through it at the speed of light. • Using a laser transmitter that encodes frequency signals into pulses of light, ones and zeros are sent through the cable. • The receiving end of the transmission translates the light signals back into data which can be read by a computer.

  7. Fiber-Optic Cable

  8. Hardware ? • an optical disc format such as CD and DVD. • It was developed for recording and playing back high-definition (HD) video and for storing large amounts of data. • Answer next slide

  9. Blu-ray

  10. Acronym Hardware ? • This hardware component is the • Brain of the computer • The most important part of the computer that controls the power & overall performance • Intel is the world wide industry leader of this hardware component • Answer please

  11. CPU • CPU – central processing unit

  12. Hardware ? • This piece of hardware is used for temporary storage but very fast. The more memory you have the faster your computer. • Answer

  13. RAM • Random Access Memory • Sometimes just called memory

  14. Hardware ? • Hardware device is used for connecting to the Internet and subscribers see a much faster response than dial-up connections – up to 30 Mbps. • Answer next slide

  15. Cable Modem

  16. Hardware ? ** • Standard unit of measurement for measuring frequency – • for computers it is measuring one electromagnetic wave. • Answer next slide

  17. Hertz - Hz

  18. Hardware ? • a type of electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). • The name comes from how the memory is designed -- a section of memory cells can be erased in a single action extremely quickly. • Answer next slide

  19. Flash Memory

  20. Hardware ? ** • a hardware device that directs data from a local area network (LAN) to another network connection. • Answer next slide

  21. Router • The owners CISCO Systems created the first routers.

  22. Hardware ? • Main circuit board of the computer. • Attached to it – CPU, ROM, RAM, PCI slots, USB ports etc. • Basically holds all the parts so that everything works in your computer. • Answer next slide
