HOW DO COMPUTERS WORK?
"Computers contain thousands of tiny electrical switches located in microchips. As expected, each switch can be either off or on. The various combinations of which switches are off and which are on dictate what the computer is doing at any given moment. You can imagine with thousands of switches operating there is virtually an infinite number of combinations of "offs" and "ons". This explains why computers can function in so many different ways - from a game machine to a word processor" (http://www.adita.com/one-a.htm).
