In this image through the use of a keyboard, connected to the system unit (the physical box which all electronic components comprising the computer are housed), an input technology, the user inputs the textual data HELLO. As the keystrokes are made the visual representation are displayed on the Output Technology called the monitor. From there the CPU, (Central Processing Unit) a Processing Technology interprets the data and translates it into machine language. In the translation of the keystrokes to binary data, the ALU and Control Unit use the ASCII code as a means to turn it into binary data and store it in secondary Storage. Theses electrical impulses of on and off data, before being stored is organized into bits and bytes. There are eight bits in a byte.
