It Never Stops
Once the computer is on, all the parts work together like a team.
-
The brain follows instructions
-
The memory stores quick data
-
The storage holds your files
-
The screen shows what’s happening
-
The mouse and keyboard let you control it
And they all listen to the brain’s orders every second.
🧠 Let’s Say You Open a Game
Here’s what happens:
-
You double-click
-
The brain sees the click
-
It asks storage: “Give me the game files”
-
The files move into RAM
-
The brain starts running game instructions
-
The screen draws the game world
-
The keyboard and mouse send actions
-
The brain runs more code
-
Repeat… over and over!
💬 What If You Type a Letter?
-
Keyboard sends the key code
-
Brain checks what it means
-
Screen shows the letter
-
Storage saves it if needed
It feels instant — but it’s millions of tiny steps.
🔁 This Keeps Going Until You Shut It Down
The brain never gets tired.
The memory never forgets (as long as power is on).
The storage waits quietly to hold your work.
