Power management keys
Power management keys are buttons on your computer keyboard that help you control how much energy your computer uses. Just like your toys, your computer needs batteries or electricity to work, and sometimes we need to save that energy so that we can use our computer for longer periods.
These keys help you do that! For example, if you want to turn off your monitor (the big TV screen for your computer), you can press the power management button with the monitor icon on it, and it will turn off. This means you are using less energy, and your computer is conserving the battery or electricity to use later.
Other power management keys, like the sleep button or hibernation key, help you put your computer into a low-power state, meaning it's still on, but not using as much energy. This is a great way to save power when you're not using your computer for a while, like when you're taking a snack break or going outside to play.
Think of it like turning off the lights or TV when you leave the room - it saves energy, and you can use it later when you need it.
