COMPUTER PARTS

1.- CASE.

It is the metal part where many components of the PC are housed. It is

also known as a drawer or cabinet. It is a metal and plastic box,
horizontal or vertical (in the latter case, it is also called a tower), in
which they are located. all computer components (boards, disk...)

2.- MOUSE

The mouse or mouse is an essential part of any computer. It is

currently in the process of a great technological transformation and
perhaps it is one of the components that will disappear in the future.
The quality touch screens seen for the first time on the iPhone (they
have actually been invented a long time ago, but never with such
quality) have meant a revolution in the handling not only of computers
but also of mobile phones, tablet PCs, GPS navigators, watches, Mp3,
eBook… etc. Meanwhile we can enjoy mouse evolutions as curious as Apple's Magic
Mouse .

3.- CRT MONITOR.

A CRT, or cathode ray tube, monitor uses electrons to transfer images

from a program source (probably a computer or antenna). CRT
monitors are both heavy, but they were the types of monitors that were
associated in the 80s and 90s until the flat panel revolution.

one of the essential parts for a computer. It is generally a
small square of silicon with many gold-coated pins that
receives instructions, processes them, and sends orders. Each
processor has predefined instructions such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication, displacement... etc.
