    A computer performs four basic operations: input, processing, output, and storage. Input devices like a mouse and keyboard are used to enter data. Processing transforms the data into information using the CPU. Output devices like monitors and printers provide the results of processing. Storage saves the results, with devices like hard disks holding programs and data for later use.
