Computer Basics
In this presentation, I will tell you some
things about computers. I will cover Computer
No-Nos, some keys on a keyboard, ports and
plugs, a mouse, acronyms, and some things inside
a computer.

Computer No-No's
There are some things that you should not do to
your computer. These things are called Computer
No-Nos.
3
Computer No-No's
The first Computer No-No is never turn a
computer off in the middle of a program. You
must shut it off in the correct way. The second
thing is never take a disk or CD ROM out of its
drive until the light is off.
4
Computer No-No's
The third thing is to never turn off a computer
and turn it back on without waiting 60 seconds.
The fourth thing is to never have a magnet
around a computer. It will erase memory and
destroy the monitor.
5
Computer No-No's
The fifth thing is to never force a disk to go
in the computer. The sixth thing is to never have
food or drinks around a computer. The last
Computer No-No is to always turn a computer off
before connecting any hardware.

How To Clean A Mouse
When you clean a mouse you will need Q-Tips and
alcohol. The first step is screw off the back
panel. When you screw it off you will notice a
small ball. Take out the ball and clean it with
some alcohol. Clean the little rollers inside,
also.

How To Clean A Mouse
After you clean everything in the mouse, place
the ball back in the mouse. Screw the back panel
on and you are finished!

Keyboard
There are many keys on a keyboard. If you ever
might need to use the number pad you have
to have the Num Lock on. If your computer ever
freezes up you can use Ctrl, ALT,and DELETE.

Acronyms
Acronyms stand for long words in a computer.
M.O.U.S.E. stands for Manually Oscillating
Utensil Sonically Engaged. A DVD drive stands
for Digital Versatile Drive. The word ROM means
it has a Read Only Memory.
10
Acronyms
Ram stands for Random Access Memory. The last
acronym I am going to talk about is CPU which
stands for Central Processing Unit.

Ports
There are three basic ports inside a computer.
These ports enable you to connect internal or
external devices to the computer. A parallel
port is used to connect printers, zip drives,
and digital cameras.
12
Ports
A serial port connects everything that a
parallel port can but printers. The last basic
port is a PS2 port. It is used to connect
different kinds of mice.
13
Plugs
There is a male plug and a female plug. You need
to know the difference between them because
if you plug a male plug into another male plug
it would bend the connectors.
14
Inside a Computer
When my group first opened a computer, I was
shocked! It looked so empty, the opposite of what
I thought. As we got deeper into the computer,
we noticed that there were many ports and plugs.
15
Oh! Look at the little village!
When we took out the cards in a dead computer,
the first thing that popped into my mind was a
village. It looked someone had built a model of
something. The little things that stick up on the
card looked like little buildings.
