Common Computer Terms and Jargon

A thorough understanding of basic computer terms or jargon is something lacking for a lot of people who are out there computer shopping. I am probably one of the few technical people in my family. Therefore, when they go shopping for a new computer or need to get one setup, they always ask me about what is good and what isn't. This is not really frustrating for me. Actually, I enjoy it. But, I think it would be nice for them if they had a basic level of understanding of what the computer components did so that they would know what they needed or did not need. Below, I have created a short list of components that you will see on most sales lists when talking about a computer and what it offers.
