    6a Arithmetic logic unit (ALU): processes data by performing basic mathematical and
    logical operations
    6b Control unit: follows instructions and decides when data should be stored,
    received or transmitted by different parts of the computer
    6c “multi-core” processors contain multiple processing units inside a single package.
    …
    … These “multi-core” processors can perform more than one instruction at the
    same time, and thus are more powerful than “single-core” processors.
    7a Positive:
    • On the positive side, the Internet has enabled diverse cultures to
    interact and share ideas with each other. Social networking sites
