Do you know how a telephone works? Or a television? Probably not. It’s the same with computers. They are used for writing, reading, storing and transferring information by people in all kinds of jobs, but not many people know how they work.

There are three basic parts of a computer: the input unit, CPU (Central processing unit) and the output unit.

Imagine you want to store and send some information. First of all, you put the information into the CPU using the keyboard and a mouse.

If you already have the information on a floppy disk or a compact disk, you can put this in directly. When the information reaches the CPU, it is read using the ROM and then it is stored in the RAJII. Confusing?

Not really — think of the ROM as the eyes and brain, and the RAM as the memory.

Finally, the information is sent to the output unit. This means you can look at it on the VDU (visual display unit), which is like a television, tell the printer to print a copy on paper, or send it to another computer using a Modems let you send information along telephone lines to other computers anywhere in the world. With a modem you can connect your computer to millions of other computers via the Internet and use the World Wide Web (WWW).The Web uses hypertext. If you ‘click’ your mouse on these words, you get more details or links to other pages —a bit like a whole library at your fingertips!
