1. Students use a search engine to find information about who invented the microprocessor.
2. Students investigate the computer’s power management settings and create a report on what they discover.
3. Create a list of components and features that the student should consider when purchasing a computer. They then explain why they made these selections.
4. Students are  to prepare a report on solid-state storage and how it works.
5. Students are to investigate teleconferencing technology.
6. Students are to compare solid-state storage to magnetic and optical storage media. They are to express an opinion indicating whether they think solid-state storage will replace the other types of storage.

4.SST-(solid- stage storage)
          is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to store persistent data with the intention of providing access in the same manner of a traditional block i/o hard disk drive.

5.teleconferencing technology.      is a telephone meeting among two or more participants involving technology more sophisticated than a simple two-way phone connection.
