When you press a key or combination of keys, you are actually typing a code, telling the computer what to do.
This is a complicated process and far too complex for your's and my uneducated minds to understand. This is why Microsoft takes piracy so seriously. These people study for years to learn the profession and more years creating programs so you and I can press keys on the keyboard.
If you are serious about knowing this, go to this link and get a book.

Your hard drive is electro-magnetically encoded in binary,base two. It only has 1s and 0s. 1is on, 0 is off. Its a simple on/off switch, now imagine 2,000 million of these micrscopic switches in a series. It has the potential to control a lot of data. If all the switches were on at the same time, everything would be trying to work and jamming each other, so it takes a certain combination of on and off switches to control the order in which things get done. That's why the first computers (with tubes like tv) were the size of entire buildings. Now we have been past transistors to the micro-miniature chip. Your home PC started out historically the size of your house, now its miniaturized and multifunctional.
