How Computer Works

HOW COMPUTER WORKS

It is very much important that How you use the computer. If you don’t know How to use the computer then there is no meaning of computer. So you must know the use of the computer. Let’s start….
In 4 ways the computer works such as:-
∙ MEMORY
∙ PROCESSING
∙ INPUT
∙ OUTPUT

MEMORY:-

Its work is only for the storage purpose. Memory is of different size and shapes. However there are two basic categories: short-term and long-term , Short term is the Primary memory including RAM, ROM, virtual, cache, and various long-term storage known as Secondary memory including HARD DISK, FLOPPY,COMPACT DISK etc devices. Each type of computer memory serves a specific function and purpose.

PROCESSING:-

The brains of the computer are the microprocessor. The microprocessor is often referred to as the CPU simply known as Central processing unit. The microprocessor is a chip the size of a postage stamp. The processor is the most important part of the computer. The microprocessor controls how data is sorted and directs the flow of data.

INPUT:-

We must feed the computer because the computer takes input for processing. Without an input device this would not be possible. The most common input device is the keyboard. There are lots of others such as: mice, trackballs, touch pads, touch screens, pens, joy sticks, scanners, bar code readers, video and digital cameras, and microphones through which we give input to the computer.

OUTPUT:-

After processing the computer gives us the output. The most common output device is the monitor, or screen. However most computer come with speakers and a printer which are excellent output devices.
