Your Computer and You

This blog post will be about your computer. Since I have talked about almost all the basics of how to use the internet this post will be about your computer. This will be explaining the parts of the computer and what they do in simpler for so that more people can understand. I will list the parts and what they do.
CPU-Central Processing Unit. This is like the brain of the computer and controls everything.
GPU-Graphics Processing Unit. This is like the eye of the computer. It makes it possible to see all the graphics on the screen
Motherboard- This is where everything is put. It is like the skeleton of the computer. Everything in the computer hooks to this
RAM-Random Access Memory. This makes it easier for the computer to do multiple things at once.
PSU-Power Supply. This is what controls the flow of electricity into the computer
HD-Hard Drive. This stores all the things you save.
Case-This is what holds the computer together and protects the parts or inner workings. This is like the body of the computer

Traditional Motherboard
These are all the main parts of the computer. There are others things that you can add like a CD/DVD Burner and writer, A second GPU for better graphics processing, an SSD or solid state drive which is way faster than a Normal Hard Drive but a lot more expensive. Next I will talk about care of you computer. You never want to move a computer while it is on and running. If you want to move it make sure that it is turned off and unplugged or else you could damage something inside. You also want to keep it clean and not eat food around it. You also want to clean the inside of it out ever so often so that it doesn't get filled with dust and ruin the computer. To clean the inside you just open the side panel and vacuum the inside. Make sure no to knock anything lose. Keeping your computer clean it the first step in making your computer run faster and long. Lastly we will talk about your computer area. Your computer area should not be super messy and close in. If it is closed in then the computer wont have a fresh supply of air and then it will over heat easier and it will get dusty faster. If it is messy then there is a bigger chance that something will be slipped onto the computer and that is a big no no.
