• Storage saves data long-term.
• Motherboard connects everything.

, you can structure your slides into five main categories: an introduction, internal components, input/output devices, storage, and future trends. 1. Introduction to Computer Hardware Definition

• Name: Random Access Memory
• Function: Holds data that the CPU is currently using.
• Characteristics:
  • Key Concept: Hardware is the body; Software is the mind.
  • Diagram: A split brain/body graphic. Left side (Hardware): Tangible, physical, degrades over time. Right side (Software): Intangible, code, can be corrupted/deleted.
