Importance of the Motherboard

Typical example of a computer motherboard.
Motherboards are a fundamental component in all kinds of devices, not just computers. These perform the connection function between the different components of a device or device, whatever the type. The motherboards of other devices are often called a "board" to dry.
A motherboard is a plastic called PCB (from English printed circuit board or printed circuit board in Spanish). This plastic in which a circuit of copperIt is a highly resistant material. In this circuit there is a DC voltage of a few volts which causes the components (Transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc..) When receiving the voltage, it feeds energy to the so-called intelligent circuits, which are neither more nor less than the typical spiders full of Transistors, resistors and capacitors, but at such a small level that they could not even be seen with the view if the opportunity arose to open one of those chips to be able to look inside.
It is notorious that everything in a computer is connected to the motherboard. It could not be otherwise, since inside the motherboard is the microprocessor or micro (as they call it in expert circles). This circuit of
transistors, resistors and capacitors or micro with a square shape is in charge of calculating the position of the mouse when we move it, it also calculates the keyboard keys when writing, etc. Anything you can think of that could be connected to a computer is connected to the motherboard.Motherboards or motherboards as they are also called, depending on where, can be distinguished between good and bad according to the quality of its components and according to the configuration versatility they offer (this last option is only of interest to people computer-savvy). A good motherboard is made with higher quality components.. This quality means that when building it, if it is necessary to put a component, whatever it is, and it needs a value of 3 Well, you put a value of 4, or even on some server boards a value of 5.
An example of how small the components of a board can be.
Taking into account that there can be more than a hundred components on a motherboard, we can realize how expensive it can be to put quality components on a motherboard. Despite the fact that the difference in price from a good component to a normal or standard one is only a few cents on the dollar.
As mentioned at the beginning of this writing, any device that one can imagine, takes a motherboard or simply a board to which the different devices or components. The alternative would be to join the components with wire and make a kind of ball in which, if any component were to break, there would be no way to untangle it. Jokes aside, it can be said that the motherboards are the base of the technology of the world, since all technology that is invented or may be invented in the future is based on motherboard technology. The next generation of plates is upon us and they will be made of graphene (a material as fine as an atom, very hard and a great conductor of electricity as well as self-repairing). It seems incredible, but it's true.
