Your assignment will have four parts. Before working on this assignment, you will need to complete the Unit III Activity: Word Advanced Features.
Part 1: Introduction
Begin your assignment with an introduction that identifies what a computer, storage, and networking are. Introduce internal, input, and output devices of a computer. Your introduction should provide an overview of these three types of devices.
Part 2: The System Unit
- Research one internal device inside your desktop or laptop computer (i.e., power supply, RAM, CPU, hard drive, cooling fans, motherboard, etc.).
- Then, insert a picture or something relative to the internal device you chose using the ‘Insert’ then ‘Online Pictures’ feature. Center the image on the page and provide a title. Adjust the image size as needed.
- Next, create a table with a title (the title should name the internal device) and the following four column headings: Name of Internal Device, Description, Manufacturer, Cost.
- In the table, list at least three manufacturers that sell the internal device, and complete the table with the information you gathered for each heading.
Part 3: Input and Output
- Choose and research one input device (i.e., fitness tracker, touchscreen, keyboard, scanner, etc.) and one output device (i.e., 3D printer, multifunction printer, OLED monitor, video card, etc.).
- For each, insert a picture or something relative to the input and output devices you chose using ‘Insert’ then ‘Online Pictures’ feature. Center the images on the page and provide a title for each. Adjust the image size as needed.
- Create another table with a title (the title should name the input device) and five column headings: Name of Device, Description, Input or Output, Manufacturer, Cost.
- In the table, list at least three manufacturers that sell the input device and three manufacturers that sell the output device, and complete the table with the information you gathered under each heading.
