Week 2 - Computer Hardware

Computer hardware is consisted of the components that make up a computer. They include many different parts ranging from a micro-processor to a mother board. When you buy a computer it already has all of the required hardware it needs to run efficiently. Additions can be added to a computer to make it faster, have more memory, or just have a longer battery life if the computer is portable.

Computers do not always have to be for personal use for the internet and watching cat videos on youtube. They can be used in things that one would never have imagined 20 years ago; such as in a house thermometer. Computer can take the data from sensors and use said data to control the subject at hand. A thermometer with a computer for example, can be used to monitor temperatures and regulate air flow. It can also be used to monitor the most usage in different rooms.

Computers and their hardware are more advance now then ever. The demand for technologies is ever rising to the point were we are truly living in a digital world.
