Computer Basics

A computer is an electronic device that manipulates information, or data. It has the ability to store, retrieve, and process data. Two things all computers have in common, hardware and software. Hardware is any part of your computer that has a physical structure. Software is any set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do. Everything you do on your computer will rely on both hardware and software. You may have heard people using terms like the cloud, cloud computing, or cloud storage. But what exactly is the cloud?
