Summary

Computer terminology refers to the words and phrases used to describe the components, functions, and operations of computers.

CPU means ‘Central Processing Unit’. This is the place for computer data handling.

RAM stands for “Random Access Memory” or “Ready Access Memory.” It is a temporary notepad where your computer sends information to disk or to the storage place of instructions from other input devices.

A hard disk drive is like an audio CD that you possess at home, except your computer can read and write to it.
