  I am excited to tell you all about the jobs of a 

computer!   Computers like myself and many of my 

friends will gather pictures, words and sounds, 

which is called data, and put them into order. We 

do this by taking all this data through devices that 

we call input devices.   A computer cannot do 

anything without input from something like 

another computer or a person. 

These are some input devices.

This is called a processor. It sits on a 

motherboard. The motherboard is the brain and 

heart of the computer.

The Motherboard

This information is translated or processed her 

into the language that computers read or speak.

Binary is the language

of computers which 

represents the pictures,

words, and other 

instructions broken 

down mathematically into

a series of 1's and 0's. Once the data is processed 

into these two binary digits, the 

              computer is able to process the data.

Once the information has been

processed, the computer must 

translate the data into a way that 

means something to you as the user.

Pictures, sounds, letters and numbers are 

displayed in several different output devices.

              Output devices such as monitors   

        and printers display images and text

       documents.   Sound output is translated

       to the user through speakers and

       headphones.

    When all the data has been processed into

     useful information, it is a good idea to save 

     it in case the user needs to access it for a

     future use.   Storage devices may include

     external hard drives which use SSD cards

     or memory cards. USB devices are referred

     to as flash drives and are popular because 

          it is universal and portable. Optical drives

             use DVD's and CD's as their storage

              media.

Pictures, text, and other data are input which 

is sent to the processor where the computer's

brain translates this data into binary digits.

The data is then processed and is displayed on 

output devices or is saved on storage media to be

used at a future time.

I hope you had as much fun as

I did talking about the 

important functions of a 

computer! Thanks for 

spending time with me!
