Computer Units
- The Computer Units of a computer is just like how much food a human can take in
- The Computer Units is a measuring system for how much data a computer can hold; just like how a human eats certain amount of food and when they feel full they stop eating
- Computer Units: bit, bytes, megabytes. gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes
- Human Body food intake units: grams, kilograms, pounds, liters, cups, teaspoons, tablespoons, bowls, plates, servings
Parts of a Computer
Expansion Slots
- The Expansion Slot of computer is just like the arm of the human body
- Expansion Slots are places on a computer where u can upgrade things; just like how u can take shots in your arm to strengthen your immune system
The main parts of a computer includes:
- motherboard
- central processing unit (CPU)
- power
- random access memory (RAM)
- hard drive
- expansion slots
- computer units ( bit, byte, gigabyte, megabyte)
Motherboard
- The motherboard is just like the skeleton of the body
- The motherboard is the main structure of the computer; just like how the skeleton if the structure of the human body
Computer = Human Body?
- How is a computer similar to the human body?
Computer Component Comparison
The Human Body
Power
- The power needed by the computer is like how energy is needed for the human body
- The computer needs power to collect and store data; just like how we need to eat food so we have the energy to do things
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Random Access Memory (RAM)
- The RAM is just like the pre-frontal lobe of the brain
- The RAM is a hardware which has the role of short term memory of the computer; just like how the pre-frontal lobe in the brain plays the role of short term memory in the body
- The Central Processing Unit is like the brain of the body
- The CPU controls the computer and is the most important part of a computer; just like how the brain controls the human body and is very important
Hard Drive
- The Hard Drive of a computer is just like the Hippocampus of the human body
- The Hard Drive is the long term memory of a computer; just like how memory becomes long term after it passes the hippocampus
- The more you repeat something, the more times is passes the hippocampus, and soon it becomes long term memory
