Power steering makes it easier to turn the wheel, without power steering it would be very difficult to park the car (although at higher speeds there would be less of a difference in rounding the bend). Power brakes make it easier to stop the car. Power windows mean that you can just push a button to let the windows down, rather that using a crank to "roll" down the windows.

Power windows are small electric motors inside the car door that roll up the window when you press the button. Cars used to have a hand crank you turned to roll the window up. Power steering is a small hydraulic pump that runs off the engine. It makes the steering wheel easier to turn. If your power steering ever fails, you will know, because it gets a lot harder to steer. Power brakes, similar concept. Makes pressing the brake pedal easier.
All these things aren't a "must have" for a car, but it makes for a more comfortable ride.

Power power power. It's a term used when ever something is done by a non human force. For example, when you go to turn the steering wheel it's very easy to do. Why? Because you have a pump on the motor that it turning this pump forces fluid in to a rack an pinion to assist you in turning the wheel. with out it you really need to strong arm the steering wheel to make it turn. The power brakes are the same issue. You have a vacuum booster that applys more pressure on the braking system to allow a better stop. Other wise you would really need to stand on the brakes to get the car to stop. power windows are the same thing. in stead of using a handle and turning it a bunch of times to roll the window down, you have a switch with an electric motor.

power steering is on almost all cars nowadays. you must be young;) It means the vehicle has a hydraulic pump driven by the motor that either goes to a steering gear box or rack and pinion which makes steering the car at a stop or at a low speed easy. You'd definetely know if your car didn't have it. VW bugs for instance don't have any of the features you are asking about.

Power brakes are either vacuum assisted or sometimes hydraulically assisted and make pushing the brake pedal very easy.
Power windows are the ones where you push a button and the window goes up and down at your command with the button.
No power windows means you have to crank them up and down with your hand.

You're kidding, aren't you? Okay, power steering is hydraulically-assisted steering. There is a pump under the hood filled with hydraulic fluid, commonly called "power steering fluid", when you turn your steering wheel, a valve opens and the fluid pressure provides some added "muscle" to make it easy to steer your car with little physical effort.

Power brakes are actually "vacuum -assisted brakes" the manifold vacuum in your engine pulls a diaphragm that allows you to stop your car with little physical effort.

And power windows is an album by a Canadian power trio named "Rush".

Steering and brakes are hydraulically assisted. It requires less strength to turn the wheel or hit the brakes than the manual set ups. The power windows have a button instead of a mechanical crank to manually wind up the windows. good luck.
