Okay. So shut up about this is cheesy and gay and dorky.<br \/>\nSo the way I see it the best way to explain the workings of a computer is to paint a happy little face on it and make it dance around and basically anthropomorphize it and say what each component corresponds to in humans. But I don&#8217;t feel like drawing so I&#8217;ll just make a list:<br \/>\n<b>Motherboard:<\/b> Your nervous system; the thing that sends all the info back and forth. Your other components are compatible with it so they can send the right amount of data. If you got a wrong component you could short circuit it and then you&#8217;re fucked.<br \/>\n<b>Hard disk:<\/b> Long term memory. This is stuff you&#8217;ll always know like trivia or who the Terminator was played by or months.<br \/>\n<b>Memory:<\/b> Short term stuff. Like if you were knocked out you&#8217;d probably forget about it. Or if you went to sleep. You know. Like &#8220;oh I have to go do my laundry&#8221; and then a few hours later you forget that you were supposed to do it and then you&#8217;re like oh shit.<br \/>\n<b>Processor:<\/b> It&#8217;s like your IQ. The better processor you have the faster you can figure out logical stuff or math and things. If you&#8217;ve got a slow processor you can still do most stuff but it&#8217;d just take you a little longer to find out how.<br \/>\n<b>Heatsink:<\/b> While we don&#8217;t have fans we do have pores to let out all the heat generated by our stuff. And most of our heat comes out of our head, and that&#8217;s where our processor is. You dig?<br \/>\n<b>Video Card:<\/b> Your creative ability; your talents. A lot of the time people mistake it for your actual intelligence but that&#8217;s whack. It&#8217;s like, if you have a good graphics card you can draw pictures really good or think up of really good designs or build things.<br \/>\n<b>Sound Card:<\/b> Stuff like pitch and the ability to speak whatever languages you speak. Not too important.<br \/>\n<b>Power Supply:<\/b> Your metabolism; your ability to get power from your input and put it to use. You can get by with a low watt power supply but make sure you don&#8217;t overwork yourself.<br \/>\n<b>Case:<\/b> Really unimportant! Who cares what the hell it looks like! Just make sure it&#8217;s big enough to house all your stuff and you can do whatever you want to it. Tattoo it, you know. Just don&#8217;t bang it up too much because you gotta protect the stuff inside.<br \/>\n<b>Chipset:<\/b> Your consciousness. No one really notices any difference at all but that&#8217;s because they&#8217;re the only ones aware that they gots it.<br \/>\n<b>Monitor, Speakers, Microphone, Keyboard, Mouse, That New Touch Sensitive Finger Reading Thing:<\/b> Oh you know, that&#8217;s easy. Sight, sound, hearing, touch, etc.<br \/>\n<b>Disk Readers:<\/b> Okay on this one I&#8217;m stumped. Not until the time of the Matrix will we be able to plug stuff into our brains to get stuff off of them. Computers: 1 Humans: 0<br \/>\n<b>Network, USB, other connections:<\/b> Sex!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay guys I repair computers and stuff right? Okay.
