Central Processing Unit/CPU: the main chip in a computer and another name for microprocessor

Memory: stored information for the computer to perform its intended function

Input device: a peripheral that provides information to the computer

Output device: a peripheral that delivers information to the user
devices

The computer brain is built on integrated circuits that use transistors, which are similar to the networks of neurons
Integrated circuits: chips made up of transistors and other components that are connected to perform a given function

Transistors carry the electrical current within the computer.
Electrical current: messages that communicate commands to the computer

(CPU), like a brain, processes orders, or digital data input, to keep everything running.

Moore's Law-Over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years.

Operating systems are the software used to run a computer. Operating systems are the translators that let us speak computer language.
