Find a computer (desktop or laptop) which has plenty of peripherals, cables, and connectors. If you have access to a computer lab at school or a local library, the computers in those places typically have several peripherals.

Step 2: Identify Peripherals
Before you start shooting your video, outline a plan in a word processing document for what you will talk about.
• First, identify as many peripherals on the computer as you can.
Separate them into input and output. Creating a table would be great for this step.
• Next, explain the purpose of each peripheral and how to use it.Practice demonstrating the use of at least one peripheral.
• Finally, talk about several ports that you see and what kinds of cables are (or could be) connected.
Step 3: Find the Specs
Next, check out your computer's specs (short for specifications), which is information about the computer's internal components. We are interested in CPU and RAM. Finding the specs varies from device to device.
If you're using a Windows-based computer, go to the Start menu, click on Settings, and then scroll down to About. You should see your device specifications listed.If you're using a Chromebook, type Diagnostics into the ChromeOS search bar and open the settings section. You should see the type of CPU, its speed, and how much memory is available.
If you're using a MacBook, click on the Apple icon in the upper left of your screen, and click on About this Mac.
You'll see the processor and memory details displayed.
Once you've located the CPU and memory specs, record them in your word processing document and plan to demonstrate how to find them in your video.
Upload , come up with random specs and im typing instead of making a video

Sure! Below is an outline you can use for your document regarding the computer peripherals, specifications, and a brief explanation of how to find the information.

Step 1: Identify Peripherals

| Peripheral | Type | Purpose | How to Use | |--------------------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------| | Keyboard | Input | To enter text and commands into the computer | Type directly on the keyboard | | Mouse | Input | To navigate and select items on the screen | Move the mouse and click buttons | | Microphone | Input | To record audio or interact with voice commands | Position it near the speaker's mouth and speak | | Webcam | Input | To capture video for calls or recordings | Place it at eye level and ensure proper lighting | | Monitor | Output | To display visual output from the computer | Connect with the video cable and power ON | | Speakers | Output | To output sound from the computer | Plug into the audio jack and adjust volume | | Printer | Output | To produce physical copies of documents | Connect via USB or network and send print jobs | | Projector | Output | To enlarge the visual output for presentations | Connect with the appropriate cable (HDMI/VGA) | | External Hard Drive | Input/Output | To store and retrieve additional data | Connect via USB for file transfer |

Step 2: Demonstrating a Peripheral

Demonstration Example: Using the Keyboard

  • Show the keyboard layout and explain different sections (function keys, number pad, etc.).
  • Demonstrate typing a sentence and using shortcut keys (like Ctrl + C for copy).

Step 3: Ports and Cables

| Port Type | Purpose | Common Cables | |------------------|------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------| | USB Port | To connect various peripherals (mouse, keyboard, etc.) | USB A, USB C cables | | HDMI Port | To connect the monitor or projector | HDMI cable | | VGA Port | Used to connect older monitors/projectors | VGA cable | | Audio Jack | To connect speakers or headphones | 3.5mm audio cable | | Ethernet Port | For wired internet connection | Ethernet cable | | SD card slot | To read data from SD memory cards | SD card | | Thunderbolt Port | High-speed connection for various devices | Thunderbolt cable |

Step 4: Find the Specs

Device Specifications

  • Processor (CPU): Intel Core i7-10700K (8 Cores, 3.8 GHz)
  • RAM: 16 GB DDR4

How to Find Specs

  • Windows:

    • Go to the Start menu.
    • Click on Settings.
    • Scroll down and click on About. You will see the specs listed under "Device specifications".
  • Chromebook:

    • Type Diagnostics into the ChromeOS search bar.
    • Open the settings section and view CPU and memory details.
  • MacBook:

    • Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner.
    • Select About This Mac to view processor and memory information.

Feel free to adjust any of the details based on the actual computer you are using, or expand further on any sections if needed!

Can u fill it out for me

Certainly! Here’s a filled-out version of the document based on a hypothetical desktop computer:
