- The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the "brain" of a computer, responsible for executing instructions.
- RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory; its data is lost when the computer is turned off.
- Hard Disk is an example of non-volatile memory; data is retained even when the computer is turned off.
- The operating system manages computer hardware and software, acting as an intermediary between the user and hardware.
- System software controls and manages hardware components, including the operating system and utilities.
Chapter 2: Internet, WWW, and Network
- WWW stands for World Wide Web. It's a system of interconnected hypertext documents accessible via the Internet.
- An IP address uniquely identifies a device on a network.
