Document Summary

When a computer starts it"s called a cold boot. When a computer restarts (turns on), it"s called a warm boot. Ram (random access memory) ram doesn"t retain storage; fastest storage there is; requires electricity. Hard drive (cloud drive) is a secondary memory, which is slower (like a filing cabinet) *-devices like printers and keyboards need devices like drivers to work. Computers understand 1"s and 0"s and need to translate as input or output. Hard drive gets disorganized (use example of dirty laundry in dorm room) & and organize with defragmentation or defrag for short. Defrag doesn"t make your hard drive go faster. Network: 2 or more computers connected together to share resources like: *software, hardware, folders & files, and internet. Network is made of clients, which are connected to one computer, a server. Server is connected to a printer and scanner *(peripheral devices) Anything connected to a network is called a node (iphone connected to a laptop)
