" usually electronic "-usually-
"programmable" =different gears>different output
" retrieve "=starts working from last point so data are same
"process"= turning the handle
" store "= handle not moving data stay same.

People are too gullible to believe what the REAL truth is. It's obvious very advanced civilizations were around much longer than we "humans" have been. It's all about the status quo nowadays. All the lies, religions, tv shows and news media are just many ways to keep everyone brainwashed to what's really going on.
