👉 Computing is fundamentally the science and technology of processing information using electronic devices, primarily through the manipulation of binary data (0s and 1s) via hardware and software. At its core, computing involves executing instructions—programs or commands—that dictate how data is processed, stored, and transformed to solve problems or perform tasks. This includes reading/writing data from storage devices (like hard drives or SSDs), executing arithmetic logic, managing memory (RAM) to temporarily hold data, and communicating via networks. Hardware components (CPUs, GPUs, memory chips) execute these instructions, while software (operating systems, applications) provides the logic and user interfaces. Together, they enable tasks from basic calculations to complex AI operations, forming the backbone of modern technology like smartphones, cloud services, and artificial intelligence systems.
