10 Questions
When your mouse click is received, it's handled by the basic input/output ______. This ______ acts like the eyes and ears and mouth and hands of the computer.
subsystem
If you took your mouse apart, you'd see that it's really a very simple machine. It has a couple buttons and a system for detecting motion and distance. You might have an optical mouse that makes these measurements with lights and sensors, but older ones did this with a hard rubber ball and some plastic wheels. Same concept. When you click the button on your mouse, it sends a message to the ______ with information about its position.
computer
Between the mouse click and the video playing, there was something that captured your intention, understood it, and made it real. What is that something?
computer
Let's imagine that we can shrink down to the size of an electron and inject ourselves into a click of a ______.
mouse
Do you remember when you first realized that your computer was more than just a monitor and keyboard. That between the mouse click and the video playing, there was ______ that captured your intention, understood it, and made it real. What is that ______?
something
Match the following components of a mouse with their descriptions:
Buttons = Used to perform various actions by the user Motion and distance detection system = Measures the movement of the mouse Optical mouse = Uses lights and sensors to make measurements Hard rubber ball and plastic wheels = Used by older mice to make measurements
Match the following computer components with their analogies from the text:
Basic input/output subsystem = Acts like the eyes and ears and mouth and hands of the computer Mouse = Shrunk down to the size of an electron and injected into Computer = More than just a monitor and keyboard Mouse click = Something that captured your intention, understood it, and made it real
Match the following actions with their descriptions from the text:
Clicking the mouse = Sends a message to the computer with information about its position Receiving a mouse click = Handled by the basic input/output subsystem Detecting motion and distance = Performed by the system inside the mouse Making measurements with lights and sensors = Done by an optical mouse
Match the following concepts with their explanations from the text:
Shrinking down to the size of an electron = Imaginary scenario to understand the inner workings of a mouse Basic input/output subsystem = Acts as the interface between the user and the computer Mouse click = An action that triggers a response from the computer System for detecting motion and distance = Part of the mouse that allows it to function
Match the following parts of a mouse with their functions:
Buttons = Initiate actions or commands from the user Rubber ball and plastic wheels = Translate the mouse's physical movement into digital signals Optical system = Tracks movement by repeatedly imaging the surface beneath the mouse Click = Sends a signal to the computer to perform an action or select an object
