How does a computer work? Briefly describe it functioning with illustrations.?

Answer 1

I have never learnt the computer. Therefore perhaps I can tell you better untechnically.

Think of big library which is having thousands of books in sevaral almirahs, at several floors of several sections of a building.

Now if you want to look at a particular book on one good day, You will have to unlock the door of the library first. Then you will have to find out the section of the building and at which floor your almirah is wherein the book is kept

As it takes time to reach your destination and to get your book finally so does computer takes to show your desired file. Computer is not like TV which can be watched just by switching it on.

Now when you are inside the library i.e. when copm has started, you can look at other books also, likewise you can switch over to other files of comp.

Now when you want to go home what will you do ? you will not just come out of the building.You will keep the book in its shelf , close the almirah, leave the floor I, II or IIIrd and come down to the ground floor.Then you will shut the windows and lock the door of library.

It will again take some time and the comp. will also shut down similarly.

This happens when you are working with windows only.

Answer 2

this is how a computer works:
first go to start, click it once,
then click programs,
then find what you are looking for.
there is another way, easy way:
first start the computer,
then there might be choices on the computer desktop,
then click on it twice and you are there.
and that's how a computer works.
