Blog Entry 4.1- IFS H/W Infrastructure

The image above is showing how exactly a computer functions. The computer reads objects as 1 or 0 which means on or off. For every letter, there is a code so if you write a word like "hello" the computer goes through a code for each letter. The 8-bit code for the letters is called the ASCII. After the codes inputs onto the computer, the computer then saves or stores the codes inside the H/W. Then you see the word hello through the monitor after the computer outputs the codes.
