What is Von Neumann architecture
-computer design
-stores both programs and data in memory
-flexible, programmable systems
What concept did the von Neumann architecture replace?
stored program instructions in plugboards rather than memory.
Why is Von neumann model important
used in modern computers
What are logic gates in computing?
-building blocks of digital circuits
-represent boolean logic
