I learned that a peripheral is a hardware device that is connected to a computer, usually by a cable. Another interesting thing is that a pixel is a tiny dot of light on the monitor. I also learned what is RAM, a processor, and URL.

Binary - means two or base two.
CPU- means central processing unit, which is the chip which is the brain of the computer.
HTML - is the language of the web, it a set of code used to make web pages.
Peripheral- A hardware device that is connected to the computer usually by cables.
Pixel- is a tiny dot on the monitor.

I learned that binary is all the data in the computer,and that it is stored by numbers.Also pixel is a tiny dot of lite on the computer montior.
I also learned what peripheral, kilobyte,gigabyte and megabyte are.

Pixel- Is a tiny dot on a monitor.
Peripheral -Is a hardware device that is connected to a computer.
Binary- Is the data stored in the computers by numbers.
HTML- Is the language oft he web.
CPU- means Central processing unit.

I learned that Binary is a way of counting using just the numbers 0 and 1 on a computer. Also, HTML is a set of codes used to make webpages. Also, Hard Disk is a round metal platter in the hard drive of the computer, it stores alot of information. A peripheral is a hardware device that is connected to a computer, usually by a cable.

HTML, known as "the language of the Web," is the set of codes used to make Web pages.
Initialize - format a disk so it will hold information.

I learned that a RAM is memory in your computer to hold temporary storage.
Also a pixel is just a dot of light on a computer screen.
Peripheral is a hardware device that is connected to a computer.
A kilobyte is a unit of measure which is thousand bytes.
A chip in the computer is called a processor which is the brain of the computer.

Binary is a way of counting using just the two numbers 0 and 1. A byte is a group of 8 bits, strung together. A CPU is the chip which is the brains of the computer, also known as the processor. Gigabyte is about 1 billion bytes and tells how big your hard drive is. HTML known as "the language of the web" is the coded instructions that tell a browser how and where to place information on the web. That is what I learned this week from this blog.

The words I am not familiar with are:
1.Binary-Binary means "two", or "base two".the binary system is a way of counting using just the two numbers 0 and 1.
2.Bit-A bit is an electronic signal which is either on (1) or off (0). It is the smallest unit of information the computer uses.
3.Byte-A byte is a group of 8 bits, strung together.
4.Gigabyte(GB-A gigabyte is a unit of measure equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes, which is about one billion bytes.
5.Kilobyte-A kilobyte is a unit of measure equal to 1,024 bytes, which is about a thousand bytes.
6.Megabyte-A megabyte is a unit of measure equal to 1,048,576 bytes, which is about A million bytes.
7.Peripheral-A hardware device that is connected to a computer, usually by a cable.
I hope it can help someone understand the meaning of the words.

1.Spreadsheet- is a document which helps you organize data in rows and columns of cell.
2.Initialize- Format a disk so it will hold information.
3.Record- In a database, a record holds all the information about one item or subject. It is like one index card in an index card file.
4.Cell- a cell is the “box” where a column and a row intersect, in a spreadsheet.
5.Cursor- A blinking line or shape on the screen that tells you where the next character will go.
