Block Diagram of Computer

The block diagram shows the main components of a computer system: the input unit takes in data and converts it to a format the computer can understand, the central processing unit performs calculations and controls the other units, the storage unit holds data and instructions during processing using primary and secondary memory, and the output unit converts the processed data into an understandable format and transmits it outside. A computer is characterized by its ability to perform automatic, high-speed, accurate, and versatile processing while reliably storing large amounts of data in its memory without feelings or intelligence.
