My Computer -2

The computer still works the way the old computers used to; using Binary Code, and the RAM, ROM, and CPU operations. Computers use the binary system similar to the way an abacus world; but it only use the numbers 1 and 0. The 1 digit represents a counting number that is in different positions, and the 0 digit is used only as a place holder in different amount or size of numbers. Using Binary code computers can perform many equations to solve mathematical equations with almost perfect accuracy; as it also checks its equation sum, with speeds that would would take years to calculate, into hours or days. The Binary can make a number that is any size of the Decimal System. by the Binary code in the different columns, and in the rows of the counting places. The Binary code using 1's and 0's, are 'on' and 'off' switches; that do the addition, subtraction and multiplication for calculations. There are different fields or position areas for different types of information that is programmed in a computer; and the computers memory unit store the information, for use in solving problems.The computer memory is a magnetic core memory; there are tiny magnetic cores threaded on wires used to store 1 bit on each core; electric current sets up a magnetic field that stores binary code, for letters and for decimal system numbers. The tiny core memory are stacked up, and the more there are the greater the memory is; but they can be retrieved in millions of a second, or calculate at great speeds using RAM, ROM, and CPU. Computers are also used for controlling machinery, air navigation, and for other technology that would require brain power for the calculated operations. As computers are becoming faster and have bigger CPU's; they also sometimes need upgrades to make them compatible the some of the newest software programs, and to perform better.
