ROM:
ROM-Read Only Memory, as we are all using computers now and most of as doesn't know about ROM. Here i explained ROM and its types. ROM is permanently in-uilt in the computer. It is also called as "Firmware". It stores a set of instructions permanently, which instructs the computer to how to work. The permanent programs like operating system and supporting programs are stored in ROM. It performs the BIOS functions. The ROM chips uses only less power. It is a non volatile memory. It is available in high storage capacity. The processing speed is low when compared to RAM.
Types Of ROM:
There are five different types of ROM's available. They are
1.Masked ROM
2.PROM
3.EPROM
4.EEPROMS
5.Flash ROM
1.Masked ROM:
Masked ROM is a hand wired device and it contains a pre-programmed set of data or instructions.
2.PROM:
PROM-Programmable Read Only Memory, in other words it is called as Programmable ROM. The manufacturer supply it with blank and the user must write the desired program into it once by a special process. It is one time programmable.
3.EPROM:
EPROM- Erasable Programmable ROM. As the name indicates the program can be written more than once. So it solve the problem of PROM.
4.EEPROMS:
EEPROM-Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM. It can be easily reprogrammed by the application of a small voltage. It can be erased and reprogrammed repeatedly. It is more expensive then PROM. The contents in EEPROM are erased by part by part.
5.Flash ROM:
It is also called "Flash Memory". It is a non volatile memory. It is used in digital cellular phones, digital cameras, and in many devices. The data can be erased and reprogrammed into it, flash memory is used to hold control code such as BIOS in a computer.

The Blue Screen of Death "is an infamous error screen more closely associated with Microsoft Windows. Some nerd humor sites collect examples of the famous Blue Screen of Death, as error screens that appear on the monitor, which are designed to display information for arrival and departure airports. As a general rule, we do not like to view the Blue Screen of Death in the wild, as it is an indicator of a critical system error.
The most distinctive feature of the Blue Screen of Death is, as you might imagine, the blue color of the background used. Anyone who has seen a Blue Screen of Death can instantly evoke the unforgettable striking blue background, white lettering that compensates used to display information about what caused the system failure that led to the Blue Screen of Death. This error occurs only when the computer is forced to shut down to protect itself from a critical error, and is usually accompanied by loss of data, unless you happened to save right before the error occurred.
A computer can automatically close after displaying the Blue Screen of Death, or the user may be forced to shut it down manually. After the arrest is complete, restart your computer normally and the computer can run diagnostics to determine what caused the fatal error and recover as much data as possible. If the Blue Screen of Death appears multiple times, can be an indicator of a very serious problem, and you may need to reinstall your operating system or go into so-called "Safe Mode" to address the problem. Safe mode has a stripped down version of the operating system that allows the user to solve problems.
For people who are not computer programmers, the information displayed on the blue screen of death may seem confusing. In reality, information is extremely useful because it matches the error number, the parameters of the 'error, and offers an assortment of other information that could be used to find the problem and prevent it from happening again. Programmers can use Blue Screen of Death information to quickly identify the root cause of the problem, if it's a hardware problem or a problem with the software kernel.
Many Windows users have seen the Blue Screen of Death at one point or another, particularly people who have used unstable builds of Windows or heavily modified their operating systems. Users of other operating systems, Windows users sometimes pretend with the specter of the Blue Screen of Death, suggesting that their operating systems are much more stable and less prone to errors.

A hard disk or drive is the part of your computer responsible for long-term storage of information. Unlike volatile memory (often referred to as RAM) which loses its stored information once its power supply is off, a hard disk stores information permanently, allowing you to save programs, files, and other data. Hard disks also have much greater storage capacities than RAM; in fact, current hard disks may contain over TB of storage space.
Basic components of a Hard Disk
A hard disk is comprised of four basic parts: platters, a spindle, read/write heads, and integrated electronics.
>Platters are rigid disks made of metal or plastic. Both sides of each platter are covered with a thin layer of iron oxide or other magnetizable material.
>Spindle - The platters are mounted on a central axle or spindle, which rotates all the platters at the same speed.
>Read/write heads are mounted on arms that extend over both top and bottom surfaces of each disk. There is at least one read/write head for each side of each platter. The arms jointly move back and forth between the platters’ centers and outside edges; this movement, along with the platters’ rotation, allow the read/write heads to access all areas of the platters.
>The integrated electronics translate commands from the computer and move the read/write heads to specific areas of the platters, thus reading and/or writing the needed data.
Computers
The fastest computers can do billion of calculation every second. Their main ability is to do a lot of basic tasks quickly and accurately.
The English mathematician Charles Babbage (1792 -1871) designed a large calculating machine which, in theory, could be programmed, like a computer. But the electronic age had not yet dawned, and there was no way to give Babbage’s Analytical Engine the power it needed.
Computer is one of the cleverest machines invented by man. Have you ever wondered what a computer looks like on the inside? There are thousands of tiny switches inside a computer. They are like light switches. By switching them on or off in different combinations, a computer can do anything. Fifty years ago, the first computers were large enough to fill a room. Now, they are much smaller and are also easy to carry or move.
The instructions and programs a computer uses are called the software.
The mechanical and electronic parts of a computer are called the hardware.
Sony developed the compact disc (CD) in 1979, in Japan and Philips did the same in The Netherlands.
Philips made the video disc in The Netherlands in 1972.
The world’s first personal computer, called Apple II, was made in 1977.
Nowadays, computers have tiny microprocessors (a circuit containing all the function of a computer’s central processing unit) in them.
Internet
Internet is the biggest network of computers in the world. It is a technology which connects millions of computers across the world by means of cables, telephone wires or some wireless media of communication. The computers connected to the internet can easily access the information available on other computers. They can also be used to send and receive messages.
Useful of internet
Internet is very useful for everyone. It provides a lot of information on almost every topic. Some of its uses are:
a) You can search information nearly on any topic.
b) You can send and receive messages using the e-mail facility.
c) Internet is the biggest and the cheapest medium for advertising products and services.

Computer net work
You can talk to your friend without meeting him by using a telephone or a mobile phone. For this, you simply make a call to your friend by dialing his phone number and listening to the ring. When the ring goes, he picks up the phone and you talk to him. It means you have connected your phone to his phone. Now you can talk or communicate with him.
Talking to your friend using a telephone means that you have used a communication network. In this case, it is called telephone network.
In the same way, we can connect two or more computers with each other. These computers are connected through telephone wires or cables. This connection is known as computer network.
E-mails
E-mails are the way to send messages to family, friends and offices.
