Computer Fundamentals

Computers are versatile machines primarily designed to process data and information. They enable users to efficiently perform tasks like communication, research, entertainment, and automation.
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the essential component responsible for executing instructions and carrying out operations. It acts as the "brain" of the computer.
The primary differentiator of a computer from other devices lies in its capability to execute instructions, perform calculations, and store information. This programmability sets it apart from devices that have fixed functionality.
The storage function of a computer encompasses saving, accessing, and retrieving data, enabling long-term preservation of information.
Software acts as a set of instructions that guide the computer's hardware, defining how it functions and allowing users to interact with it. It instructs the hardware components how to process data and achieve specific outcomes.
