Computer hardware refers to computers' physical elements. The elements can also be

referred to as computer machinery or the equipment of the computer. They include components

such as motherboard, keyboard, mouse, the processing unit, among others. Hardware types that

have always taken for granted are the processing unit, random access memory, and the mouse.

Have always disregard these components overall functioning, but this perception has changed

since knowing their significant (Hwaitat, 2018). For instance, the processors are tasked with

performing various computations within a short while. Memory allows the user to access the

information with ease while the mouse makes it easier to navigate and perform multiple

functions within the computer.

Week 2 Moore’s Law

Moore's law, in a simplified form, highlights that the overall processing power of the

computers doubles every a couple of years. The law has been around since 1970 and has been

instrumental to companies such as google (Holt, 2016). Precisely, it helps google in the

development of wearable technologies with high proficiency in computing. For instance,

smartphone watches. Other technologies that have been developed under the law include heart

rate monitors. With the technological advancements, perhaps in the next eighteen months, we

will have technologies that help the mother monitor the status of their fetus right at the palm of

their hands. This will likely improve the mortality rate as the mother will be able to respond to
