  1. 2. the primary component of a computer that acts as its “control center
  2. 3. a device that prints documents and images onto paper or other materials
  3. 7. an electronic circuit that can perform mathematical calculations at high speed. Computing tasks like graphics
  4. 8. a device that connects two or more packet-switched networks or subnetworks
  5. 9. a semiconductor-based storage device, which typically uses NAND flash memory to save persistent data
  6. 10. a chip-based computer component that makes retrieving data from the computer's memory more efficient
  7. 11. an input device used to enter characters and functions into the computer system by pressing buttons, or keys
  8. 13. the main printed circuit board (PCB) in a computer.
  9. 15. random-access memory. Sometimes it's called PC memory or just memory.
  10. 17. a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a surface
  11. 18. modulator demodulator
  12. 19. a piece of hardware attached to a computer system used to produce sound
Down
  1. 1. an external device that connects to a computer to expand its capabilities
  2. 4. allows devices to communicate with each other without cables or wires
  3. 5. a physical data storage device that stores digital information
  4. 6. a hardware device that converts AC electricity into DC electricity and then distributes it to the rest of the computer.
  5. 12. an electronic non-volatile computer memory storage medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.
  6. 14. an electronic output device used to display information being entered and processed on a computer.
  7. 15. a type of computer memory that can only be read from, not written to
  8. 16. a device that allows you to digitize physical documents, images, or even objects, and convert them into a digital format that can be viewed, edited, and stored on a computer
