4 basic functions of a computer are to:

-accept data input -process data into info -present output by displaying images, audios -provide storage

2 characteristics of an SSD

-extremely fast -no moving parts

characteristics of a traditional hard drive

-read/write head -stores data magnetically -platter

characteristics of a desktop computer

-use a full OS -allow for relatively easy upgrade and expansion -desktops are often used in offices since they don't need to be mobile

mainframe

mainframes vs supercomputers

mainframes -often operated by businesses such as large banks/credit card companies -most powerful than a server, less powerful than a supercomputer -not designed to calculate huge formulas but able to manage thousands of transactions simultaneously supercomputers -most powerful type of computer -NASA uses them to determine gravitational fluctuations -owned by research universities and GOV'T
