Reading (computer)

When you use a computer, you can read things on the screen like words, numbers, and symbols. But how does the computer know what to show you?

Well, the computer has a special part called the hard drive where it stores all the information it needs. This information is saved in tiny bits and bytes, which are like little pieces of information that the computer can understand.

When you click on something to read, like a website or an email, the computer starts to gather all the bits and bytes that make up that information. It then uses special software called a browser to turn all those bits and bytes into something you can actually see on the screen.

The browser takes all the code that makes up the website or email and turns it into a visual display with pictures, colors, and fonts. It does this by using a language called HTML and CSS, which tells the computer how to make everything look on the screen.

So, reading on the computer is like a secret code. The computer takes all the information saved in its hard drive, uses a browser to decipher it, and then turns it into something you can understand like words and pictures on the screen.
