Learn these terms for better understanding of Information Technology and computers.

Term Definition antistatic bag A polyethylene bag, usually pink or shiny transparent black, used to store computer components such as expansion cards to keep them safe from ESD.

Bit The smallest unit of data that a computer can use, having a value of either 0 or 1. The word is an abbreviation for binary digit.

Bus Read The electronic pathwaysTo transfer between data hardware from a storagecomponents or input used device to transfer into memory, or from memory data back and forth.into the central processing unit.

Byte read-only Amemory group of (ROM) eight bits.A type of memory that contains data that is retrievable but cannot be changed. cache memory A type of memory used to temporarily store frequently used data or Software programs for quick access;A set of similar electronic to RAM instructions, but faster. also called programs, that tells a computer what to do. central processing unit The “brain” of the computer that interprets and executes instructions; also (CPU) Storage called the microprocessorThe media or processor and devices. used to record and hold data and programs permanently. circuit board A flat piece of insulating material inside a computer on which electrical storage devicescomponents are mounted.The hardware components that read and write data to and from storage media. compact disc (CD) drive An optical storage device that reads data on compact discs; variations storage mediainclude CD-ROM drivesThe (read-only),physical materials CD-R driveson which (record data once, is stored, read such many as hard disks, compact times), and CD-RW drivesdiscs and (rewritable). digital video CDs discs, have floppya smaller disks, storage and magnetic capacity tape. (Note that than digital video discsmagnetic (DVDs). tape is typically used for backup applications.) computer system system boardA four-part system consistingAnother name of hardware, for the motherboard. software, data, and people that performs four basic actions: input, output, processing, and storage. system clock An electronic source that generates a steady stream of electronic pulses. Data The raw information, including text, numbers, sounds, and images, that a computer reads and stores in the form of numbers. digital video disc (DVD) An optical storage device that reads data on digital video discs; variations drive include DVD-ROM drives (read-only), DVD-R drives (record once, read many times), and DVD-RW drives (rewritable).

Because it can carry a large charge, ESD can cause serious damage to electronic equipment. expansion board/card A small circuit board used to add extra functions or resources to a computer. expansion slot A socket on a computer’s motherboard used to hold an expansion board and connect it to the bus (data pathway). floppy drive A magnetic storage device that reads data from and writes data to a floppy disk, which is a metal disk (usually 3½ in.) inside a rigid plastic case. These are found mostly on older machines—few new ones have floppy drives. gigahertz (GHz) A billion cycles per second; a measurement used to express a computer system’s clock speed or clock rate. hard drive The primary, magnetic storage device in a computer.
