How do computers *actually* work?

[salami1212]

Im pretty curious as to how computers work. I know what everything does and things like that, but how does it actually work. For example, how does the electricity completing the circuit of little bits of metal connect the hard drive which saves data in gigabytes which are just a sequence of 0 and 1s; how does that transfer to an image on the screen as each little pixel with different colours?

I know its fairly vague but im pretty curious. Its very confusing and im sure not many people know the answer.

That's a fairly enormous question you're asking.

its pretty mad thinking about, everything we are doing on the internet right now has been made in one form or another from nature.

but yea, simpleton terms anyone if there is one?
