A computer is an electronic gadget that processes information, or 'data.' It reads in information, processes that information, and produces some kind of output.
Key components of a computer include input devices, such as keyboards and mice, which allow users to input information.
The central processing unit (CPU) is the brain of the computer, responsible for processing instructions and performing calculations.
Memory (RAM) temporarily stores data the CPU needs while working, while storage devices save data permanently.
Output devices like monitors, printers, and speakers present the results of the computer's work.
