Computer Hardware & Software Lesson Part 2

This lesson was created for TED 5110 students. It is part two of a two part lesson that teaches you about your computers hardware and software. The material covers the basics you need to understand the fundamentals of your computer and it's operations. Details can be found in your PowerPoint presentations posted in Blackboard.

I should note that the SSD I used in the video is actually a hard disk drive. I didn't have any SSDs laying around and the HDD was similar in size at least!

1:00 Signals and Instructions
1:31 Each On And Off is a _Bit_ of data
2:00 8 LED’s represent a byte of information
- Ex. Typing “Hi”

Storage Mediums
3:15 Hard Disk Drive
4:24 Solid State Drive (cells, empty= 1, Filled = 0, Very fast, very quiet)
5:01 Optical Drive, CD/DVD/Bluray

Very well put together. I used both your Videos for my Preliminary Software Design and Development classes lesson content, it had them fixed for most of the time. Well done.

Thank you so much dear Arrash for your time, effort and love you put to make this video. your explanations are much more clear and understandable than many professors in the classroom. Through your videos, I'm learning what I always wanted. By the 1st video, I already have a diagnosis of my son's PC but I'm missing the tools and proper explanations on how to fix it.
I really this lesson will continue because I'm impatiently waiting for the upcoming lessons. I am already one of your students
