When I was younger I used to believe that the entire computer was present inside the keyboard. I did not realise the truth until much later I was attending a computer hardware course class and I asked the teacher how do all those computer components that she has explained fit inside the keyboard. It is then she told me that computer actually is a seperate box and I felt embarassed in front of the whole class. They were all laughing at me at that time and when I think of it sometimes I also laugh on it.
