Applications for Education
Computers are a fundamental part of today’s students’ lives. They should have a basic understanding of the key parts of a computer. Just as you don’t have to know how all of a car’s parts work, it can be helpful to know some basic information about the mechanical specifications of a car when making an auto purchase. Likewise, having a basic understanding of computer hardware can help students and parents when making purchasing decisions about computers.

This video could also be a good introductory tutorial for students in a computer electronics course.
