The picture above shows a computer displaying the message “Hello,” demonstrating how it translates it to a readable format and what the computer knows. When a user uses an input
technology, such as a keyboard which is hooked up to a computer, to enter a letter, the computer must translate it into a binary. Binary code is made up of 1s and 0s that are read as activated or deactivated electrical charges, respectively, by the CPU, a processing technology. In ASCII, each letter takes up one byte, which in turn is made up of eight bits (a single binary digit). The CPU’s ALU handles all of the mathematical functions of the processor, while the control unit schedules the order in which the data is read. After the computer performs all of these actions, it displays the ASCII letters to an output technology, such as a monitor where it appears to be the English word “Hello.”
