Computer hardware is those parts of the computer that you can actually see
and touch (eg. CPU, mouse, printer, monitor, etc). Software is a set of
electronic instructions that tell a computer what to do. You cannot see or touch
the software but you can see and touch the packaging the software comes in

of information through a computer system, i.e. it communicates with input,
output and storage devices to perform certain tasks.

The really big board located at the base of the computer (to which everything is
plugged into) is called the motherboard, because it carries the microprocessor
and memory chips, as well as other internal components that enable the
system to function. A motherboard is the main circuit board of the computer. All
electrical components plug into the motherboard.

To help protect data transmitted on a wireless network, there are two security
standards that specify the way that data is encrypted when transmitted over a
network: 1) Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and 2) Wireless Protected Access
(WPA). WPA offers much more security than WEP.
