| (the original): So, let’s see: which are the main components of a computer. Lovely. OK. The most visible part, the most visible component is “the screen”. Next one is “the key board” with lots and lots of keys. We have 2 audio “speakers”. Now, this can have more than 2 speakers – 5 speakers, around speakers or something like that. This is “the mouse”, one that I’m using right now. And the most important component – “the central unit” which contains memory, contains the CP-wheel which gives the computer its power, a floppy disk, CD-Rom, DVD-Rom and the power button. Here we have the next generation of screens or displays, OK, this is a light one - you can see a lot of space. It is said it is good, it is better for eye. So, here we have a laptop. This is a smaller computer with smaller key-board and integrated mouse and smaller screen. OK, here must be the floppy and DVD-Rom and other components. This is ideal for travelling and for business people. |
