  5. Silicon Chips silicon chip - electronic equipment consisting of a small crystal of a silicon semiconductor fabricated to carry out a number of electronic functions in an integrated circuit. Three steps to making silicon chips: Converting sand to silicon Creating a cylindrical crystal Slicing the crystal into wafers http://pcplus.techradar.com/node/3059

  6. USB Cords Universal serial bus, a connection technology for attaching peripheral devices to a computer, providing fast data exchange. The goal of USB is to end all of these headaches. The Universal Serial Bus gives you a single, standardized, easy-to-use way to connect up to 127 devices to a computer.
