Analogy Between a Computer and the Human Body

Just like your skeleton does for the body, the motherboard is the main structure of a computer and holds everything together.

The motherboard can also be seen as the nervous system because it connects to various parts of the computer and by connecting something to each part something different happens. It's like a communication channel between every parts and components of the computer system.

The Power Supply can be compared to the heart because just as the blood pumps blood to your whole body so it can function, the power supply provides energy and power to the computer.

The energy provided by the Power Supply is just like the energy in your body; without it you couldn't do anything and you need it to work properly.

Webcams detect light and send signals through the optic lens to the visual and the computer to the CPU. Just exactly like how the eyes works sending visual signals to the brain through optic nerves.

Operating System- Personality. An operating system is the most important software that runs on a computer. It manages the computer's memory and processes, as well as all of its software and hardware. It could be seen as a person's personality, since it can vary; like some computers have the Microsoft Windows XP and other have the MAC OS X, some people are cheerful and others are grumpy. An operating system is the most important software that runs on a computer.

Expansion Slots are places on a computer where you can upgrade things; just like how you can take shots in your arm to strengthen your immune system.

The speaker and printer are like your mouth because they are output devices; they give the information the computer needs to give out just like your mouth is used to express things you have to let other people know.

Monitor-  Monitor is like your Face, it shows what is happening inside a you so does the monitor to a computer

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) or Processor is similar to the brain because it controls almost everything the computer does. It has a screen which it uses to display what the computer is doing or how it feels. Just like the human face shows different expressions

The Random Access Memory and the Hard Drive are like your memory because each of them is like one part of your memory; the RAM is short-term and the Hard Drive is long-term
