Computers: everyone uses them, but how do they actually work? This DVD goes beyond the desktop and program software to grapple with the system hardware itself.

After a quick history of the computer, Inside a Computer takes a close look at:

• the motherboard, with its central processing unit, RAM, and system clock
  
• input devices such as the keyboard, mouse, and joystick
  
• output devices like the monitor and printer
  
• storage devices, including internal and external hard disks and flash drives

The binary system of data management is also examined. Designed for computer novices, technicians-in-training, and experienced software users who want a better understanding of how a computer does what it does.

27 minutes. DVD only. Subtitled in English. 2008.
