Episode 11 — What Is Computing? Devices, Systems, and Logic
In this episode, we explore the foundations of computing as they relate to the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam. You’ll learn what defines a computing device, the differences between general-purpose and specialized systems, and how logic operations form the backbone of every digital process. We’ll walk through examples of devices you encounter daily, from smartphones and laptops to embedded systems in appliances and vehicles, explaining how each fits into the modern computing ecosystem.
We’ll also examine how computing logic enables software to process inputs and produce meaningful outputs. This includes a closer look at Boolean operations, basic circuits, and the principles that make complex IT systems possible. Understanding these concepts is key to grasping the more advanced topics in later domains and will strengthen your ability to answer foundational questions on the exam with confidence.
