Explanation

1

The input peripherals showing in this video are the keyboard and mouse. Monitors could be both, input and output, but not in this video.

2

The computer needs to know the motion and distance, like which button was clicked and where in the screen (position)

3

Basic Input Output Sub-System provides a way for humans to interact with the computer.

4

The Basic Input Output Sub-System acts like the eyes, hands, mouth and ears of the computer.

5

The Central Processing Unit is the brain of the computer.

6

Instructions to move the mouse around the screen, clock, receiving emails, music playing, editing files, etc.

7

The CPU process lots of instructions (programs) at the same time.

8

Computers only understand binary language

9

The CPU is the brain of the computer, so it does all of these jobs in billions of seconds.

10

Peripherals, BIOS and Apps to connect with humans. CPU and memory to manage data and instructions.

11

Binary code is the language of computers because they imitate the ON (=1) and OFF (=0) switches.
