Why is learning this important?
Computers are a big part of our lives. We use them to learn, play, create, and connect. But to use them well, we need to understand how they work. In this unit, you'll learn about data, computer memory, and how information is stored — even in the cloud. You’ll also explore the parts of a computer (hardware) and the programs it uses (software), and how they work together to complete tasks. Knowing these basics will help you become a smart and confident computer user, ready for the digital world.
