What is the context of the question? I hate to answer a question with a question, but the question is too broad to form an intellegent answer. If I had to answer the question as-is, I would say, it typically stores it on the Hard Disk Drive, or another mass storage device, like a Flash card, USB flash drive, etc. Hard Disks keep data on them after your computer is turned off. Anything stored in memory that is not written to the hard disk is lost when you turn off you computer.

∙ 13y agoA computer is a programmable machine that receives input, stores and automatically manipulates date, and provides output in a useful format. Data is stored in your computer, and as a result duplication of this date can occur, which can impact on the storage capacity of that computer. It is possible to run programs that can deduplicate data on your computer. Deduplication enables redundant files to be reduced, or even portions of files or other data that are similar can also be removed. As a simple example of file based deduplication, a typical email system might contain 100 instances of the same one megabyte (MB) file attachment. If the email platform is backed up or archived, all 100 instances are saved, requiring 100 MB storage space. With data deduplication, only one instance of the attachment is actually stored; each subsequent instance is just referenced back to the one saved copy. In this example, the deduplication ratio is roughly 100 to 1.

∙ 14y agoA computer with the necessary application softwares or rather a well programmed computer processes data.
Data processing involves sorting, arranging, editing,formating et.c of raw meaningless data into information.
information is a fully processed data that is organised and makes sense.
A practical example: When preparing a payroll the following data may be required
- Names
- account numbers
- ID numbers
- occupation
et.c
Before this data is processed they are meaningless.
After processing the data will be meaningful and purposeful.

When computer mapmakers digitize map data they?
convert the data into computer language
Which is the most valuable a computer or data it contains?
The data; the data is what you place into the computer. Simply by having a computer doesn't make it valuable. You can always replace a computer, but you cannot replace the same data.
What does the computer see data as?
A computer see data as a series of zero and ones (binary).
How you enter the data without typing in computer?
Any information going into the computer is called data. Data can arrive from a floppy disk, from a hard disk, from a CD, from a DVD, from any kind of player or phone that the computer will recognise. Data can arrive from an internet connection, or from an intranet connection, or just along a wire from a nearby computer. Data can arrive from a webcam attached to your computer. Data can arrive from a microphone attached to your computer. Data can be chosen for use by a mouse selecting something on the computer monitor. And, yes, data can arrive by typing on the keyboard. But you knew that already.
What are the functional views of the computer?
Data movement, apparatus control, and data processing are the three main functional views of the computer. Also, mechanism data is another functional view of the computer.

What is Computer network Polling?
Computer network Polling is where a client server or Network Hub polls each computer for data. Data can only be sent when the particular computer is polled. If the computer has data to send but is not polled at that time, the data has to be stored until it can be sent. ^_^ JunkCollector ^_^
