Only one i can think of is that the internal clock on the computer is actually controled by a crystal that vibrates at the correct frequency.
Some interesting facts?

They perform millions of calculations PER SECOND.

A common hard disk right now is 7200 rpm which spins faster than a car engine.

If the integrated circuit would have never been invented, home computers would not be possible.

You can send an email with picture attachments ACROSS THE WORLD in a matter of seconds. No company (post office, FedEx, etc) can do that.

Current processors have hundreds of millions (and some have billions) of transistors, which are electronic switches, and are a huge part of what makes the processor work. Just think, millions of switching going on and off repeatedly every second to perform your tasks.

According to Moore's Law, which has been proven, capacity doubles every 1 1/2 to 2 years. As an example, I bought a laptop in 2003 with a 30 GB hard disk. I just bought another in the summer of 2010 with a 320 GB hard disk. If you double the 30 GB every 1.5 years and multiply that by 7 years, you will see that his law is correct.That is a very open ended question. If you could be more specific on what you are interested in knowing, it might help in getting a useful answer.some easy facts about computers ARE I don't know anyone can help me plz like I'm a kid
