How Computers work:
What makes a computer a computer
A computer is a tool. Like a hammer to a house computers help us with thinking work. Computers do four things: -take input -store information -process it -then provide an output
Binary and data
Computers work in 1’s and 0’s. Binary counts using 1’s and 0’s.
Data can be converted into binary so a computer can process it.
CPU, Memory, Input & Output
Input in a computer comes in the for of external devises, like a keyboard. The Keyboard produces a binary code that is sent to a CPU to process it and convert it into whateve comand you gave it. The smaller technology gets the smaller computers get. Parts to product.
Hardware and Software
Hardware is the physical aspects of a computer. Software is the programs that run in a computer. The CPU is the masterchip that controls all other aspects of the computer. Computers run multyple softwares at once using a operating system.
