Two devices that can be at step 1 and step 2 are a keyboard (for input) and a CPU (for processing). e. Two types of computers are desktop computers and laptop computers. QUESTION 13 a. Computer hardware refers to the physical, tangible components of a computer system that can be seen and touched. b. Two examples of computer hardware are a mouse and a printer. c. The two components of the computer system are hardware and software. d. Two examples of storage devices are a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and a USB flash drive. e. External storage devices are used for backing up important data, transferring files between different computers, and expanding the overall storage capacity of a computer. QUESTION 14 a. Define the term RAM RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is a type of volatile computer memory that stores data and program instructions currently being used by the CPU for quick access. I. Briefly explain the difference between ROM and RAM RAM is volatile, meaning its data is lost when the power is turned off, and it is used for temporary storage of active data. ROM (Read-Only Memory) is non-volatile, retaining its data even without power, and typically stores permanent instructions needed for booting the computer. II. Give two functions of RAM • It stores data and instructions that the CPU needs to access quickly for current operations. • It acts as a temporary workspace for running applications and the operating system. III. Give two examples of application software • Microsoft Word • Google Chrome b. Give two examples of social media tools • Facebook • Instagram 3 done, 2 left today. You're making progress.
