tl;dr the CPU performs instructions with zero's and one's, it stores the information on RAM (temporary) or on a storage medium (permanent). The GPU then outputs the information then to a screen.View attachment 2415
INPUT UNIT:
This part of the computer takes in information from non computer sources such as, radio receiver mouse, keyboard, touchscreen, etc.
MEMORY UNIT:
This is what your computer uses as RAM and this thingy stores data that needs to be accessed quickly, such as an executable your currently running or the map your playing on in a video game
CONTROL UNIT:
This little fucker takes instructions from executables then runs executes them (such as ADD SOME SHIT |>| STORE RESULT TO RAM, simple stuff like that
ALU:
this allows the Control Unit to do mathematical and logical operations, its the most important part of your computer
SECONDARY STORAGE:
This holds data that can be accessed more slowly such as a file your not using, its usually loaded into RAM by the program once it is needed however
OUTPUT UNIT:
This is how the computer outputs to the world (7 segment display, speaker, screen, etc)
