SUMMARY

Here I post the summary of this VIDEO, which explains through images the internal operation of a computer.

When you click a computer mouse button, the instruction is received by the BIOS and then, it´s executed by the CPU. This is possible due to the programs which perform many tasks at the same time. These programs, written with a human language, are stored into ones and zeros in a memory as they occupied too much space. Finally, the instructions are stored in the memory lane which gives the needed information to the CPU.
To sum it up, a simple click means visiting every component of your computer 's system.

Why they say "the human brain is a sophisticated computer"? They say the human brain is a sophisticated computer because both of them receive instructions, carry out them quickly and have the capacity to remember that given information for a period of time. 2. A computer is an electronic device containing: A microprocessor.  3. A microprocessor is capable of carrying out: Complex calculations in the blink of an eye. 4.     Write the characteristics of a PC: It's designed for use by one person at a time.
