Today, technology is very vital in our every day lives, especially since many of us use it at work or at school. Anyone who doesn't know how it works can be at a disadvantage because there are so many topics to technology that one can learn, which can make life easier after having some knowledge. One of the many topics to technology is Computer Hardware. Many people assume that lacking background knowledge of computer hardware won't affect them. But it can. One of the reasons why people should learn, at least the basics, about computer hardware is because computers are made up of various parts and each of those parts has its own way of functioning.
Imagine if one day your computer is giving you problems? You won't be able to do much because you don't have the proper knowledge on how technology works (in this case, computer hardware). Now, since we're on the topic of Computer Hardware, I'll mention some of the computer hardware components. Computer hardware components come in all shapes and sizes. For instance, there is the computer System Unit. Inside the System Unit is the power supply, the hard drive, the central processing unit (with a fan) which is the "brain of your computer", the motherboard, and some other components. Moreover, all of these come in different prices. Some may be much more expensive than others because of the progression of that component over time.
