A simple diagram showing a computer's internal components (CPU, RAM, Storage) connected by buses, with data flowing as signals (0s and 1s).
Computers fundamentally operate using data.
All information, from text to images, must be converted into a digital format.
Different data types require specific representation methods.
Examiner Tip
Ensure you can explain why binary is used in computers (e.g., electrical states, reliability).
Quantum computing explores qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously, potentially revolutionizing data representation beyond binary.
