1. PC = PERSONAL KOMPUTER The personal computer was first released by IBM and indirectly trigger the use of the term PC The term personal computer was first used in New Scientist magazine in 1964 in a series of articles entitled "The World in 1984" (World in the Year 1984). In "The Banishment of Paper Work" (Loss of Work Write-Write), Arthur L. Samuel Watson Research Center (Watson Research Center) was IBM writes, "Though we may be able to receive education at home through the person's own PC, the original nature of human remains will not change."

2. LAN = LOCAL AREA NETWORK Local Area Network (LAN), a privately owned networks within a building or campus-sized to several kilometers. LANs are often used to connect personal computers and workstations in a corporate office or factories in order to use shared resources (eg printers) and exchange information. Today, most LAN technology based on IEEE 802.3 Ethernet switch using the device, which has a data transfer speed 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit / s. on the LAN network where the connections between devices (computers) are transmitted from one digital device / computer to other digital devices via direct physical connection Function LAN Shared data Shared software More effective use of hardware Email Communication of data with high speed

Metered Software Applications Sharing Printer

3. DTR = DATA TERMINAL READY Dtr, is a control signal present inside an RS-232 serial communications cable that goes between a computer and another device, such as a modem. This is a oneway "high-low" signal going from the computer to the modem (or, in RS-232 terminology, "from DTE to DCE"). The Dtr signal is one of the most important call control signals on a data modem. It is the most reliable method by which a computer tells the modem to disconnect (end) a call. 4. CPU = CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT The central processing unit (CPU) is the portion of a computer system that carries out the instructions of a computer program, to perform the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output operations of the system. The CPU plays a role somewhat analogous to the brain in the computer. The term has been in use in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s.[1] The form, design and implementation of CPUs have changed dramatically since the earliest examples, but their fundamental operation remains much the same. As for the CPU's main function is to perform various operations, including arithmetic and logic operations on data coming from memory or the information entered through hardware, such as keyboard (Keyboard), scanner, lever controls, and mouse. CPU controlled using a set of instructions the computer software. Such software can be executed by the CPU to read from the storage media, such as hard disks, floppy disks, compact discs, or tape recorder.

5. RAM = RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY Random Access Memory RAM, a part of memory that can be used by the users to store programs and data. Most of the RAM is said to be volatile. This means that if the power is unplugged from the computer and the computer is off, then all the content available in RAM will be lost permanently.Because RAM is temporary and volatile, then the person creating a medium other permanent storage. This is usually referred to as secondary storage. Secondary storage is durable and not too volatile, this means that all data or programs stored in it can still exist even if the power or the power is turned off. 6. ALU = ARITHMETIC LOGIC UNIT Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a digital circuit that performs arithmetic and logical operations. The ALU is a fundamental building block of the central processing unit of a computer, and even the simplest microprocessors contain one for purposes such as maintaining timers. The processors found inside modern CPUs and graphics processing units (GPUs) accommodate very powerful and very complex ALUs; a single component may contain a number of ALUs.

7. WAN = WIDE AREA NETWORK Wide Area Network is a network that is used to make the interconnection between local networks that are not physically adjacent to each other, which can be separated physically by city, province, or even across the border geography - across countries and continents.or can be defined as well as computer networks require routers and public communication channels. WAN technology uses a combination of analog signals and digital signals in transmitting data.

WAN is designed to: Operating in a very wide area. Allow access through the interface that sequentially at low speed Provides full-time connection and part-time Connecting the tools that are far apart even by a very wide area

8. OS = OPERATING SYSTEM Operating System is a program written to control and coordinate operations of the computer system. Operating systems contain a number of programs, and some classified as the utility programs. Operating system has three main functions namely process management, resource management and data management. 9. HDD = HARD DISK DRIVE HDD: Internal Tools store that there must be a modern in komputer. Its capacity is very large. Function Harddisk Hard disk space is a major store in a computer. That's where all sistem office operations and the mechanism of action is run, any data and information In a lump of hard drive, there are various kinds of small ruangruang (directories, folders, subdirectories, subfolders), each of which are grouped by function and usefulness. That's where the data is placed. small space in the hard work in an interdependent logic (interdependent). Data / information in a single room is sometimes necessary to move the data / information residing in the other room. There is a space where the data in it must not tampered or moved to another place, there is a space where we can discard and put data interchangeably as needed. Hard disk consists of several important components. Its main component is a plate (platter) which serves as data storage. This plate is a solid disc-shaped flat,

both sides of the surface is coated with special materials that have magnetic patterns. This plate is placed in a shaft called spindle 10. USB = UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard for connecting devices, usually to the computer but also used in other devices like game consoles, cell phones and PDAs. A USB system has an asymmetric design, consisting of a host controller and multiple devices connected in the form of a tree by using a special hub devices. USB design is intended to eliminate the need for additional expansion card into ISA or PCI bus computer, and improve the ability to plug-and-play (plug-andplay) by allowing the equipment exchanged or added to the system without needing to reboot the computer. When USB is installed, he immediately recognized the computer system and processing device drivers needed to run it. USB can connect additional devices such as computer mouse, keyboard, scanner images, digital cameras, printers, hard disk, and networking components. USB has now become the standard for multimedia equipment such as image scanners and digital cameras. The latest version (up to January 2005) the USB is version 2.0. The most striking difference between new and old versions is the transfer speed is considerably increased. USB data transfer speed is divided into three, among others: *High speed data with a clock frequency 480.00Mb / s and data signaling tolerance to 500ppm. * Full speed data with a clock frequency 12.000Mb / s and data signaling tolerance to 0.25% or 2.500 ppm. * Low speed data with a clock frequency of 1.50Mb / s and data signaling tolerance at 1.5% or 15.000 ppm.
