Perfect! Schools today like to pretend they're all about teaching technology but really all they're doing is creating end-users, loyal consumers, out of young children (and teachers alike) for tech giants. This was exactly what I was looking for for my kiddos. You have a natural ability to 'teach' and I SO appreciate the follow up to the viewers' questions. By far, the best introductory videos on here.

Great explanation for newcomers and people who don't wanna go through all the hardcore technical stuff. Thank you!

[joaoandre]

Thank you, Teacher, for the best lesson I ever watched about the basic of the computer. I have been taking a course of Comptia+ A, I had never studied computer before that my first time, I want to become cybersecurity and I don't have any experience in this role.

[safol]

Such an amazing explanation!!! It is almost 2024 and your work still helps many people.

Omg I finally got 100 percent on a test in computer application class, thx to this video

[swatisharma]

The explanation of RAM and Hard drive, I'll never forget this analogy. Thanks a lot Sir.

[ConsciousUniversity]

I love his calmness and demeanor. It is very comfortable and easy for me to learn.

[joshsullivan]

Retire. Do youtube full time. One of the best videos of explaining the basics of computer technology. I would sub but not enough content for my liking sadly. Will remember you and your videos

[koortsj]

Absolute brilliant way of teaching the basics of computers so that even this 70 year old guy could follow and understand it! Fantastic!

[katesithole]

Wow, such detailed and practical explanations! No wonder our lecturer recommended you. Thank you.

[thesilentgeneration]

Thanks for the lesson. Us old folks that have computers can always learn how they work even at our age.

[rachelchristensen]

I use this video with my Middle School and Intro to Tech class for high schoolers. I find it a very good, easy to understand explanation of the hardware in a computer. One of the things I usually add is that in the analogy in the library of the desk and the stacks, you (the person moving the information and doing stuff with it) are like the processor (and your arms are the cache), the books and "stuff" (notebook, pens, etc.) are the programs. I hope you don't mind my expansion of your anology! =)

[hybrid]

Ah, memories... It's been a while and this video popped up in my recommendations. Thanks for the nostalgia, YouTube.

[ClrStrike]

me, watching this in 2020: this is the best video on yt explaining computer set ups for rookies, hats off bruh

[dush]

Thank you for that awesome explanation. The interpretation of RAM with a table top and the hard drive with a library was really awesome. I will never forget this interpretation in my life.

[mrmuthmotivator]

Who is with me this mouth. ICT 2020, thanks for this piece of work.

[nickigay]

That was was brilliant lesson for beginners. Well presented and simplified enough for lower ability learners. Fantastic! Thank you, I will be using this for all of the year 7 students in my school. Thank you.
