Computer hardware is the physical components of a computer,
whereas the data and computer files are referred to as the
computer software. The computer hardware is called this because
it is not often or easily changed, unlike the software, which is
updated and changed frequently.
Home computers usually consists of several hardware components,
including the mother board, which holds the central processing
unit, and the RAM. Personal computers also consist of power
supply which holds a transformer, fan and voltage control, as
well as video display, computer device controllers which connect
to things such as scanners or printers. You're computer
hardware
also consists of the CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, floppy and hard disk
drives, a sound card and a modem for online dial up connections.
Hardware also consists of several independent pieces which
include the key board, the mouse, gaming devices such as joy
sticks, web cameras, scanners, printers and speakers. These are
the parts of the
computer hardware
that you are probably more familiar with. Computer hardware is
designed with performance in mind, but also focuses around
weight, appearance, size, reliability and power consumption.
Computer Hardware continues to evolve at an exponential rate.
Scientists are constantly trying to improve on various types of
computer hardware, in hopes that one-day computer will be small
brain implants. If this sounds too far fetched then think again.
We already have the ability to control electronics by electric
brain impulses alone. If you think about it, the brain is really
just an organic computer. Our memory is like a hard drive and
our synapses are like the circuitry of a motherboard. I believe
that one-day computers will be living organisms, mini brains in
a box with 3d displays and completely controlled by our
thoughts. Until then, enjoy the hardware you have!
