computer and technology help
A computer only understands 1/0 or off and on.
That I've got. I'll try to ask the question in several ways to hopefully make it easier to understand. How does the electricity "know" what to do. I turn on my computer the electricity flows through transistors, but how do the transistors "convert" that electricity into all the cool stuff my computer does? How does the CPU "think/ know what to do" just from off and on switches. Is it a matter of something like this. Say I push the "K" button. This sends an electrical pulse to the "K" transistor so the "knows" that I pushed "K"
