It’s main job is to coordinate with the various operations performed by the various components; it serves as a interface for all the modular singular components of a system like Central processing Unit – CPU, Random Access Memory – RAM, Storage device – Hard Disk ( Magnetic or Solid State); to provide slots and expansion cards to enhance the functionality of a system. There is development of new devices with new interfaces every day.
