Computer Connectors
What is a computer? No, no, no, it's not the keyboard, and it's not the mouse, and not the screen on which you see everything you're doing, including reading this, and it's not the printer, either. A computer is a box. A smart box, to be sure, but not smart enough without its peripherals - all that equipment mentioned a few words ago.
Without the peripherals, a computer is just like a city without suburbs. Look, and what do you see? A more or less boring gathering of office towers, in other words, downtown, or whatever passes for it these days. So, given that computers are mute, deaf, and blind without their peripherals, they need to link with them. Not only connect, but also be able to talk and listen and respond. And that's what these articles below are all about -- how to make all of this work without a glitch.
