Keyboard
4.1 Description of the keyboard
The keyboard is an
external instrument that
is represented by a set of
keys, these must be
responsible for entering
information to a
computer or device by
means of various
characters, including
letters, numbers and
symbols. The keyboard
is the direct evolution of
typewriters, which were used under a system of keys or buttons that
acted as mechanical levers or electronic switches. These machines
sent information to old computers, on the keyboard, everything is
different, as this connects to the computer or, in case of laptops, it
comes integrated to them.
The keyboard is an-input peripheral that is used to input information to
the system to which it is connected. Although the technology was
significantly advanced since its invention, today we still have
keyboards in the new devices that come to market, given their great
acceptance and ease of use.
IV.2 Identification of the different types of keys and
their names.

 Alphanumeric keys
The keys that belong to the alphanumeric keyboard are the most
important that we are going to find since they are the ones that allow
us to enter all the information we need to the computer.As its name
suggests, we find in this block all the alphabetic keys (a to z) and all
the numbers of the decimal system (0 to 9).
 Function keys
As the name implies, these keys are the ones that belong to the
function block. This block is at the top of the alphanumeric block and
depending on the system used and the program running, they allow a
certain number of tasks to be carried out.The most popular key that
appears in this block is esc, which means escape, and allows you to
exit a context.To its right, we can see the F1 to F12 keys that usually
have a particular behavior depending on what program is running, as
well as what operating system we are using.
 The computer keys used for keyboard shortcuts

Thanks to keyboard shortcuts,


we can use functions quickly by simply pressing keys, avoiding the
need to use menu items or press the right button with the mouse to
select any of the available options.
The quintessential keys for keyboard shortcuts are:
ALT-CTRL-CMD-SHIFT-ALT Gr
This implies that in any keyboard shortcut that we find, we will notice
that at least some of the aforementioned keys will participate in the
combination.
IV.3 Adequacy of the correct abbreviations for each
function.
 We start with the function keys, which are the ones from F1 to
F12.
F1 Shows Word help
F2 Move text or graphics
F4 Repeat the last action
F5 Opens the search and replace window
F6 Go to the next panel or frame
F7 Opens the Check tab of spell checking
F8 Expand a selection
F9 Update selected fields
F10 Show KeyTips, with the keys to go to the different menus
F11 Go to the next field
F12 Go to the Save menú
V. DISKETTE AND CD
5.1 Correct use of diskette
A floppy disk, also known as a floppy
disk, is a metal magnetic floppy disk
lined with a flat, hard piece of plastic. In
the 1980s and 1990s, it was the primary
storage and charging device for
computer data. It all starts with the
external design of the floppy disk. The
two marks at the bottom near the
reading window on the 5.25-inch discs
serve to relieve any additional stress
generated by the drive. The small circle plays the role of index, which
helps to determine the location of the floppy in terms of its rotation, and
the famous slot that is covered with a tape allows us to establish
whether the disk can be written or not.
5.1.1 Correct use of CD.
CD-ROM drives stand for Compact Disc
Read-Only Memory or compact disc with
read-only memory. It is a mass data
storage medium that uses an optical
laser to read microscopic reliefs that are
stamped on the surface of an aluminium
disc coated with polycarbonate. CD-
ROM drives are evaluated for their
capacity and read speed. There are
disks of various capacities, ranging from 650 Mb and 74 min. to 1054
Mb and 120 min. As far as speed is concerned, a single speed unit
(1X) reads at 150kb per second, a double speed unit (2X) reads at
300kb/s and so on. The read/write limit is 52X (7800 kb/s).
V.2 The parts of a floppy disk and CD with their names
DISKETTE PARTS.
 PLASTIC HOUSING: Protects the magnetic disk from dust,
shock and external abrasions.
 PROTECTIVE PAPER: Protects the disc against chassis friction.
 READ / WRITE HOLE: Allows the drive heads to access the disk.
 MAGNETIC DISC: Contains the information (tracks and sectors)
 SHUTTER METAL SHEET: Protects the magnetic disk when not
in use.
 SPRING: Move the metal sheet to its original position to protect
the disc.
 DENSITY INDICATOR: If the floppy disk has a hole in that part, it
is double density (1.44MB) if it does not have it, it is low density
(720KB).
 WRITE LOCK: When the notch covers the hole, the disc can be
written to.
 FLEXIBLE METAL WING: Push the protective paper against the
magnetic disk to keep it clean.
