Computer Basics-Basic Parts of a Computer

Introduction The basic parts of a desktop computer are the computer case, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord. Each part plays an important role whenever you use a computer. The computer case is the metal and plastic box that contains the main components of the computer, including the motherboard, central processing unit (CPU), and power supply. The front of the case usually has an On/Off button and one or more optical drives. Computer cases come in different shapes and sizes. A desktop case lies flat on a desk, and the monitor usually sits on top of it. A tower case is tall and sits next to the monitor or on the floor. All-in-one computers come with the internal components built into the monitor, which eliminates the need for a separate case.

हमारे बच्‍चों का मनोविज्ञान बड़ों की पकड़ से हर दिन दूर होता जा रहा है. ऐसा लगता है, मानो पेड़ धीरे-धीरे जड़ से ही दूर हो रहा है.   दयाशंकर मिश्र   |  Updated: Mar 30, 2018, 08:01 AM IST सुनने में बात थोड़ी अटपटी लग सकती है. इसमें नया क्‍या है. सब अपने से प्रेम करते हैं. कुछ तो अपने से प्रेम में डूबे रहते हैं. लेकिन ज़रा ठहकर सोचिए. अब यह बातें कुछ पुरानी सी लगने लगी हैं. हमारे विचार, चिंतन शैली पर सुकून से अधिक बाज़ार/ज़रूरतें हावी होती जा रही हैं. आप अपने किसी भी नज़दीकी को सैंपल के तौर पर चुन लीजिए. बहुत नहीं उनसे केवल तीन-तीन महीने के अंतर पर बात करते रहिए. आप आसानी से समझ जाएंगे कि उनकी चिंतन प्रक्रिया का केंद्र निरंतर बदल रहा है. इस बदलाव में उनका अंतर्मन कहीं नहीं है. जीवन की गुणवत्‍ता कहीं नहीं है. सारा ज़ोर बस इस बात पर दिखेगा कि मेरे पास क्‍या है? हमारे बच्‍चों का मनोविज्ञान बड़ों की पकड़ से हर दिन दूर होता जा रहा है. ऐसा लगता है, मानो पेड़ धीरे-धीरे जड़ से ही दूर हो रहा है. हमारे एक मित्र हैं. दूसरों से ख़ूब बातें करते हैं. बेइंतहा बातें. बातें ही बातें. लेकिन घर वाले
