Well, the the user does not directly control the hardware, unless they are a technician or something similar. The computer's operating system, IE, Windows 7, have a thing called a kernel, which communicates with the hardware and gives it specific directions. You have your hard drive, which holds all the files for long term storage, and the data is moved into the Random Access Memory, or RAM, for short term use. When the kernel needs information from the RAM, it moves that data into the CPU, where it is displayed on the monitor, so the user never directly has to control hardware. It is a very roundabout process.
