1.Practice identifying personal computer hardware and peripherals. 2.Create an inventory list of all peripherals available on your system. Include separate categories for input, output, and storage. 3.Create an inventory list of all connectors available on your system. Note which peripherals use each connector type. 4.Review Wikipedia: Unicode input. Insert special characters into a text document: Windows: Run the Notepad application and use the Character Map utility to select special characters and paste them into Notepad. OS X: Run the TextEdit application and insert special characters into the text file. Linux: Run the gedit application and use the GNOME Character Map utility to select special characters and paste them into gedit. 5.Review Wikipedia: ASCII and Wikipedia: Alt code. On a PC, open Notepad and then use Alt codes to enter the ASCII value for the characters in your first name. Observe how the ASCII values are converted into standard display characters just as if you had typed those characters on the keyboard.
