Smart fabric designer Madison Maxey and founder and maker Danielle Applestone explain the different components that allow computers to input, store, process, and output information.

At a high level, all computers are made up of a processor (CPU), memory, and input/output devices. Each computer receives input from a variety of devices, processes that data with the …

It's impressive that we can put together seemingly simple devices like logic gates to create CPUs that power complex devices like our phones, computers, and even self-driving cars.

Basically bringing the hardware and the software together to give you all the games that you love on your Xbox. Oh. (laughing) - When you look inside a computing device you see a bunch of …

There are many other ways a computer could output data. As long as the output device can interpret a stream of 1s and 0s, it can turn that data into anything - headphones output sound, …

A desktop computer has RAM memory, as the running applications uses the RAM to store data temporarily. A desktop computer also has a CPU, input and output devices, and a hard drive …

The logic gates that we've presented here are abstract representations of real devices. A logic gate describes any device that can take in values of 0 or 1 and output a 0 or 1 according to its …

Thanks to battery power and wireless networking, devices are increasingly portable. Our mobile phones go wherever we go, cars can make cross-country road trips, and drones can fly miles …

Let's solve some problems to better understand input and output devices.
