Basic Computer Questions: 1 to 200 

A basic computer is a device that performs various tasks using electronic circuits and components. It consists of essential hardware components like a central processing unit (CPU), which serves as the brain of the computer, and memory, which stores data and instructions temporarily. Basic computers also have storage devices, such as hard drives or solid-state drives, where data can be permanently stored. Additionally, they include input devices like keyboards and mice, which allow users to provide commands and interact with the computer, and output devices like monitors or printers, which display information or produce tangible outputs. Basic computers also rely on an operating system, which is a software that manages the computer’s resources and enables users to run applications. With their ability to process data, store information, and perform a wide range of tasks, basic computers serve as powerful tools in various fields, from personal use to business operations and scientific research.
