Computers understand only 2 (binary number system) states: on and off defined by the numbers 0 and 1 or BIT. Most of today's computers use the ASCII code (American Standard Code for Information Interchange). Once data represented in bits is entered into the computer, it gets processed. Basic data processing requires Random Access Memory (RAM) and the Central Processing Unit (CPU) to work together. 

RAM is a temporary storage that is deleted once the computers shut downs. More RAM memory does not make the computer run faster; it just allows it to do more things at once. 

The CPU is referred to as the brains of the computer because it controls and performs all the functions and tasks done by the computer.

The PC utilizes two fundamental sorts of programming: application and frameworks. Application programming, is PC programming that is intended to help the client perform different undertakings on the computer, for example, writing a letter, painting or listening to music. It is the product you use, to do the ordinary undertakings. Frameworks programming is essentially the plate working framework (DOS) and the greater part of its related projects. It controls and facilitate the general operation of the PC equipment, for example, sparing and printing records, oversee memory and the UI.

Today, PCs exchange information starting with one PC then onto the next making a system. Contingent upon the separation between these PCs, we can make among a few: Local Area Networks (LAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN). Cases of LAN's incorporate a PC lab here at school or the school grounds. The Internet is a WAN that traverses the globe. For systems to capacity they should include: a station or transmission media, for example, fiber-optic links or remote innovation, and equipment gadgets, for example, organize interface cards (NICs), modems (MODulator/DEModulator) and switches to transmit information to the system, and get information from the system too. The transmission speed or data transfer capacity of the system is measured in BITS every second. The third and last part, programming permits you to associate any sort of PC to the system.
