Hello, my name is Oluwademilade Ala and I am currently studying on computer fundamentals
Today's topic will be What is a computer?
In our generation or time, there is hardly going to be an individual that hasn't seen a laptop before except maybe you were born in the skies. Today I'll be discussing what actually happens when you pick up your laptop, try to play a game or watch a movie with your girlfriend, or even try to see what number of points Steph curry has on google.
Alright, so at the simplest level. We can think of four basic functions and say that a computer is a machine that
Recieves data --- Your keyboard (being the input) typing "Steph".
Processes data --- The computer processing that input using the CPU (Central processing unit)
Stores data --- The program and information it is currently working with are held in RAM (Random-Access Memory)
Produces a result - Your laptop screen showing Steph's 100 point.
This is what I understand as the basic computer model.
Next up, we'd be talking about the CPU (Central Processing Unit).
À demain tout le monde.
See you tomorrow.
