About the Project
This video explains how computer architecture is taught using a metaphorical "little man", which is the control unit of the computer, that performs one of the seven operations (store, load, add, subtract, input, output and halt) one after the other on inputs to produce outputs. These seven instructions are the building blocks that constitute everything a computer can do. The video is designed to improve people's understanding of how computers operate in a fun and engaging way.
