=Researching Computer Terms=

Understanding computer terms is a slow process - it's important to get the BEST answers - not just the FIRST answers.
 * 1) Run a Google search on "CPU" - you'll get a very clinical answer from the Wikipedia, but you probably won't understand it.
 * 2) If you copy and paste this answer into a report, you're a very efficient parrot.
 * 3) To be a STUDENT, you need to actually LEARN the meaning of the term, and put that definition into your own words.
 * 4) Try searching for logical sentences - ie "What is a CPU" in quotation marks - what answer do you get now?
