The physical components of a computer are
called its hardware!
Everything that is tangible that you can touch,
such as:
the Central Processing Unit, or CPU. All of the
calculations and thought processes take place
there.
The memory (RAM, HDD, ROM, EEPROM): The
information that the computer is now using,
such as the game you're playing or the picture
you're sketching, is stored here.
The hard drive or USB storage: This is the
location where the computer stores all of your
stored files, including images, videos, and games.
The display: This demonstrates the actions of the
computer.
The mouse and keyboard: This is how you
communicate with the computer.
