Thunderbolt (interface)

Thunderbolt is a kind of connection that helps you move information between different pieces of technology, like your computer and a monitor. It's faster than other connections like USB or HDMI because it lets information move really fast. To use it, you need technology that is made specially for thunderbolt, otherwise it won't work. It looks like a small lightning bolt with a circle around it.
