What tells the computer what to do?
Nothing tells the computer what to do... but the main base of operations in a computer, which receives all the signals from the input devices is called the CPU, or the central processing unit. Hope that helped you a bunch.
What is Intel celeron inside?
A central processing unit(CPU)of a computer base.
What are peripheral devices and list them?
Anything that isn't part of the base computer unit including:KeyboardMouseJoystickPrinterSpeakers
Not all electronic devices are computer, discuss In details?
First you need to able to distinguish between electronic device and and computerize device. Electronic devices are device that needs power source (electricity) for operation. While a computer is an electronic device that accept data, process data and give an output base on the received input. Not all electronic devices are computer with the below key points. A computer have input unit, processing and output unit which other electronic devices do not have this features. A computer must be able to accept instructions, eg your mobile phones, calculators can accept instructions so they are computer because they have an input method. While an electronic device does not have any input method like your radio. You radio only need a power source to transmit sounds via electromagnetic waves, it doesn't have input, output nor processing unit
What are the elements of a computer?
The base elements are monitor, keyboard, mouse, and computer case. In computer case there are motherboard, processor, ram memory, hard disk, video card, DVD-rom...That's what the other guy said. If your looking for the element in science class, Silicon.Basically there are three elements of a computer:1.) Input devices: Keyboards, Mouse, Webcams, Joysticks, Scanners, Modems and the like that inputs information into the processing device.2.) Processing devices: Intel, AMD or other manufacturer computation processing chips that take the input information and computes it.3.) Output devices: Monitors, Speakers, Printers that takes the processed information and outputs it into visual, audio or printed formats.More elements:1. Hardware2. people/user3. data4. procedure5. connectivity6. software
What rocks are used to make a computer?
Computers are made up of various components, but the primary material used is silicon. Silicon is a chemical element found in abundance in the Earth's crust, and it is processed into a highly purified form called silicon wafers. These wafers are the base material for manufacturing computer chips which form the core of electronic devices.
What new technology is replacing magnetic tape storage devices in the business world?
Magnetic tape devices used for storage in the business world are now being replaced with computer data bases. The computer data base can be saved to a compact disk.
What does the term electronic materials mean?
Any of various solid crystalline substances, such as germanium or silicon, having electrical conductivity greater than insulators but less than good conductors, and used especially as a base material for computer chips and other electronic devices.
What element is made into computer chips?
Silicon is the typical base material , aluminum or copper are the interconnect metals.
What has the author Hirofumi Katsuno written?
Hirofumi Katsuno has written: 'Propositional knowledge base revision and minimal change' -- subject(s): Natural language processing (Computer science)
What is the metal and plastic that houses the main system components of the computer?
It is referred to as a 'base unit', and sometimes 'tower'
