The Beginning - Understanding Hardware





Computers are very complex pieces of well, hardware. Most people don't even know what is inside a computer. Assuming you know the basics, you probably know some of the hardware inside and what they do, but personally I want to dive deeper than just basic understanding. I want to build core knowledge and with that core knowledge slowly build expertise. So simply knowing the basics isn't enough. To build expertise you have to research, to research effectively you need to have a plan.


                               The Plan

I decided that I would take each piece of hardware such as the motherboard, power supply, etc. Then I will focus on that specific piece of hardware going over every intricate detail I can find on it. Together we will break each component down until we understand everything about them and how they add onto the computer as a whole. I believe this way we will begin to fully understand the computer from the inside and out. Let the learning begin.
