1. A common input device for smartphones and tablets that covers the actions typically controlled by a keyboard and mouse in a desktop PC is a touchscreen. You need an input device like that because it allows you to interact with the device by tapping, swiping, and pinching on the screen, providing a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.
2. If your computer is regularly overheating, some solutions you might try to troubleshoot this problem include cleaning the internal components to remove dust and debris, ensuring proper airflow around the computer, checking for a malfunctioning fan, and using a laptop cooling pad.
3. To troubleshoot the problem of not being able to print a page from your computer, you could try checking the printer's connection to the computer, making sure the printer is turned on and has paper and ink, restarting both the printer and the computer, updating the printer driver, and checking for any error messages on the computer or printer display.
4. To explain how a computer works and how Minecraft runs on a computer to a 10-year-old relative, you can say that the CPU (Central Processing Unit) is like the brain of the computer, processing instructions and calculations. RAM (Random Access Memory) is like the computer's short-term memory, storing information that the CPU is currently working on. Storage, such as a hard drive or SSD, is like the computer's long-term memory, storing files and data. An example of an input device is a keyboard, which allows you to type commands into the computer. An example of an output device is a monitor, which displays images and information from the computer.
5. Older peripheral ports for computers were often color-coded to make it easier for users to identify and connect devices correctly. Today, with advancements in technology and the use of universal connectors like USB, color-coding is no longer necessary as most users are familiar with standard connection types and can easily identify them without color-coding.
