A computer is a complicated piece of technology that takes information input into the CPU, or central processing unit, and then outputs information and solutions to the user. Learn how a computer works much like the human brain, with similar sensory roles, using insight from a computer and technology specialist in this free video on computers.

  • Ahhh I remember when I used to get spoken to like a kid, now its quite patronising...

    Good video though

  • Nerds at work, I just needed a simple explanation, but thanks -.-"

  • this video helped me. i know nothing about computers and am learning about it in class with a teacher who doesn't explain anything. i enjoyed being talked to like a child, it was refreshing compared to university profs who think we know everything.. (at least i don't, obviously)

  • Some people legitimately want to know the basics, and this is a great start for them to learn. Thank you.

  • i think watching this just killed a few brain cells.

  • If you want to know how something works, you don't go to YouTube. Read a book, take a class, and do your research. Especially if you are looking to build a computer yourself. There's way more to it than any YouTube video would tell you (not to mention there's way more to it than anyone would want to put into a YouTube video. That's the kind of information computer specialists charge you a lot of money for.)

  • dont be so mean hes axplaining in a funny way and i thouhgt it was funny myself! god people can be so freakin mean on the internet - maybe it shows their true side

  • WTF xD

  • hei how come the human brain is included in the computer fingig.....the human brain is not a computer...don't bring shit to what we wabted to know

  • It sounds like you're talking to a 4 year old kid...
