  1. 2. a type of non-volatile storage that retains data even when power is off
  2. 5. a computer and networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks
  3. 7. the "brain" of a computer, responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations to run programs and operate the system
  4. 8. a device that converts digital signals from a computer into analog signals for transmission over telephone lines or cable networks, and vice versa, enabling internet access and communication
  5. 11. the main printed circuit board (PCB) in a computer
  6. 13. an electronic device that captures documents, photographs, and other printed material and saves them as digital files
  7. 14. a type of non-volatile memory that stores permanent data and instructions, typically firmware or boot code, that cannot be easily changed or erased after manufacturing
  8. 17. allows devices to communicate with each other without cables or wires
  9. 19. a storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies to store data persistently
  10. 20. a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a surface
