Hi All,

Recently for a computer class, I was told to refer computer hardware components to real life items, etc. I was amused at what I came up with and thought you would be too.


Motherboard - The motherboard is an air traffic controller. Things come in from all directions. It puts them all in order, tries to ensure there are no connection problems, and that nothing crashes.

VDU (Monitor) - The Monitor is a mirror. A mirror doesn't create images, it simply outputs what it "sees". Also, size, shape and set-up do affect the picture.

Keyboard - The keyboard is the "Honey-Do List" (Honey do the dishes, Honey, mow the yard...). It gives instructions to ensure the proper tasks are done.

Mouse - The mouse is a shopping cart. Moving through the store (monitor), stopping only to grab (click) our desired product.

Peripherals - Peripherals are like children. They usually take more than they give. They always want to change the way you do something. They are never permanently attached.


As always,
