Across
  1. 1. a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly render images, videos, and animations for display on a screen
  2. 4. where all of the components of the keyboard are
  3. 7. a wired networking technology that connects computers and other devices in a local area network (LAN) using physical cables, enabling them to communicate and share data at high speeds and with strong security
  4. 10. a hardware component that connects a computer to a network, allowing it to send and receive data
  5. 11. a hardware component that renders images, videos, and animations to display on a monitor
  6. 14. the firmware on a computer's motherboard that initializes hardware and loads the operating system when the computer is turned on
  7. 17. a computer's main, internal workspace that holds data and instructions for the CPU to access quickly
  8. 18. a modern firmware interface that replaces the traditional BIOS for booting computers and starting operating systems
  9. 19. a type of data storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently
Down
  1. 2. a non-volatile storage used for long-term data storage, such as files, applications, and the operating system, that retains information even when power is off
  2. 3. Case that stores the computer and keeps it protected
  3. 5. a wireless technology that enables devices to connect and exchange data over short distances using radio waves, eliminating the need for cables
  4. 6. the technology that transmits data as pulses of light through thin strands of glass or plastic
  5. 8. a permanent, non-volatile storage device that holds all of a computer's data, including the operating system, applications, and personal files like documents, photos, and videos
  6. 9. the computer's volatile random-access memory (RAM), which stores actively used data and is analyzed through memory forensics
  7. 12. the main component of a computer that performs calculations and executes instructions to run software and manage the system's operations
  8. 13. portable storage devices designed to be easily inserted and removed from a computer, allowing data to be transferred between systems
  9. 15. a standard connection interface for computers and peripheral devices like keyboards, mice, printers, and external drives
  10. 16. a small, fast storage area that temporarily holds frequently accessed data to speed up a computer's performance
