What are the main types of computer hardware?

• The main types of computer hardware are: input devices, output devices, storage devices, processing units, and networking components.

• Web browsers and operating systems

• Motherboards and CPUs only

• Software applications and programs

Name three functions of output devices.

• Store data (e.g., hard drives)

• Process input commands (e.g., keyboards)

• 1. Display visual information (e.g., monitors). 2. Produce audio output (e.g., speakers). 3. Print documents (e.g., printers).

• Manage network connections (e.g., routers)

List five types of input devices.

• Monitor

• ["Keyboard", "Mouse", "Scanner", "Joystick", "Microphone"]

• Printer

• Speaker

What is the primary benefit of using cloud storage?

• Scalability and accessibility of data from anywhere.

• Limited storage capacity

• Increased risk of data loss

• Higher costs for data retrieval

Identify three key components of computer hardware.

• Motherboard, Power Supply, Network Cable

• CPU, RAM, Storage Device

• Graphics Card, Sound Card, Printer

• Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse

How does a monitor function as an output device?

• A monitor stores data for future use.

• A monitor displays visual output from a computer, converting data into images for user interaction.

• A monitor processes audio signals for sound output.

• A monitor prints documents for physical output.

What role does a keyboard play in computer input?

• A keyboard functions as a storage device for files and data.

• A keyboard is used primarily for displaying images on the screen.

• A keyboard serves as a primary input device for entering data and commands into a computer.

• A keyboard is mainly used for connecting to the internet.

Explain the difference between RAM and ROM.

• RAM and ROM are both non-volatile memory types used for the same purpose.

• RAM is volatile and used for temporary storage; ROM is non-volatile and used for permanent storage.

• RAM is used for permanent storage; ROM is volatile and used for temporary storage.

• RAM is slower than ROM and used for long-term data retention; ROM is faster and used for temporary tasks.

What are the advantages of cloud storage over local storage?

• Cloud storage requires constant internet access to function.

• Cloud storage is slower than local storage.

• Cloud storage is accessible from anywhere, scalable, offers automatic backups, enhances collaboration, and provides better security.

• Local storage is more secure than cloud storage.

Name two examples of output devices.

• Keyboard

• Scanner

• Speaker

• Monitor, Printer
