So I was curious how a computer knows when you click on save in a window in one spot on the screen that it is the same function when the window is on a different spot on the screen.It knows it is in two completely different places but how does it know this? does anybody have any good material they could reference me too?

Well does anybody have any good book references as to where I can read up more on the technical specifications? I've been studying the gates and they seem pretty straightforward but I'd like to go a little more in detail about the engineering itself.Any links to some good reads would be much appreciated.

Ok I guess my drawn out question confused a lot of people.So what I want to know in a nutshell is how the information from the monitor is transferred into electricity so that the cpu can use it.

Hello, I've been interested in computer science for quite some time now but have found it relatively difficult to find the answers I'm looking for without asking somebody with a phd.I keep wondering what happens to a computer when you click on a file.I already know the basic answer "oh yeah it reads from the harddrive that's where the file is stored".But I need to know more details than that.I'm looking for the nitty gritty.How did humans manage to be able to tell a computer what to do when I click on a program? I know electricity shoots down into the computer in a million different places but I'm missing the "inbetween".How does it interact with whatever you're doing on the screen? I know about pixels.But how is the data from those pixels transferred into the computer so that the cpu can understand it? yeah,i know through electricity.But HOW exactly?.If anybody can point me into the direction I need to go to start learning you'll be on my friends list for life.I've been looking for the answer to this question for quite some time now.
