Where parts of a Computer Tower come from

Have you ever wondered where all the parts of your tower come from? Well let me show you.
Lets start with the frame, most likely the frame is made of plastic but where did that plastic come from. Placstic is made from oil and some countries that have oil like Saudi Arabia, Canada and Russia. Some countries that turn this raw material into plastic include China, the US and Germany. Then once turned into plastic it then needs to be shaped into the frame which would be done in china.

Now lets talk about some of the hardware. Somthing like your Processor is possibly made by Intel. Intel manufacture some of their processors in Ireland. The resources to make that product may have come from all around the world. Once the processor is made then it needs to be assempled which most likely will be made in China.

So the parts of your computer have come from all around the world. Have a look at some other products in your room and think about where all the parts may have come from. Most likely they have come from all around the world.
