What is Board?

A 'board' is a general term that can refer to a wide variety of physical objects. In technology, it can mean a printed circuit board (PCB), which is a foundational component in electronics, used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. 'Board' can also refer to a development board (or dev board), a PCB designed to facilitate prototyping and testing of electronic circuits or embedded systems. Furthermore, in the context of online platforms, a 'board' often denotes a discussion forum or bulletin board, a virtual space where users can post and read messages. The specific meaning depends heavily on the context.
