Identify a core computer component that runs programs.

1

I am the primary brain hidden deep inside, Fetching and decoding with nowhere to hide. I calculate math and tell parts what to do, If the computer is processing, it's thanks to me too!

Hints

Central Processing Unit—the brain of a computer.

Often abbreviated as CPU and sits on the motherboard.

I handle calculations and the control of other parts.

2

I sit on your desk, plugged into the wall, With a tower, a mouse, and a monitor tall. I don't travel around, I stay in one place, Offering great power in a fixed little space.

3

I am your computer's short-term brain, Holding open apps and tabs in my lane. But if the power goes out or you click restart, Everything I was holding will completely depart!

4

Without me, your screen stays perfectly black, I manage the apps and keep things on track. I'm the bridge between hardware and software you see, Windows, macOS, and Linux are all types of me!

5

I am not human, but I learn how to speak, Finding patterns in data is the goal that I seek. I can write up a story, write code, or draw art, Making machines appear clever and smart.

6

I have a keyboard, a screen, and a little trackpad, For working on trips, I'm the best friend you've had. I fold up right flat to fit in your pack, And run on a battery when power cords lack!

7

I'm not the system that boots up the screen, I'm the specific program you launch in between. Whether painting a picture, or typing a slide, I'm the app built for tasks that you open inside!
