How a computer works

The basic understanding of how a computer works is very simple. It is nothing more than millions of tiny flashlights going on and off to make different patterns.

Inside the flashlight are two batterys, a light bulb and a switch - that is all there is too it.

Let’s say that
when the light
is on it repres-
ents the
number “1”

 

And when the
light is off, it
represents
the number “0”

 

On the next page we will replace the flashlight
switch with a computer key
