Introduction

 My name is Macdarach. I'm currently a student residing in Galway at Atlantic Technological University studying for software development. My general interest in modern technology and computers led to me choosing this course, as I believe its a good fit for me. Prior to my college days I had built my own PC, where I learned about all of the different components and their intricate designs and functions, and how they work with each other to create a working computer.

That's why I'm choosing to write a blog about the features and uses of each of the components. It's a very interesting topic that is from my point of view often overlooked or taken for granted. The patience and precision required to manufacture these parts cannot be underappreciated in the slightest, as it's truly mind-boggling as to how they work. It's a very fascinating industry.

I'll go into a deeper dive into the components themselves in my next blog entry.
