Description |
Computers and processors are ubiquitous in everyday life, and they're not only found
in your PC. This free course, Computers and computer systems, introduces the different
parts of a computer system and their use of binary code. Using the examples of kitchen
scales, a digital camera and a computer artwork the course, with the help of flowcharts,
discusses how computers process data and instructions .

<p>There is more to computers and processors than simply PCs. In fact computers are

extract from Computers and processors (T224) which is no longer taught by The Open
