A question regarding a computers "intelligence"
So I've been reading on Boolean logic and understand to a basic degree as to how the computer calculates it's binary but I would like to know how a computer knows where your icons are on a desktop.How does it know that when you click on save the first time in a window,then shrink the window and click on the save function,how does it actually know where the save function is going to be at all times? I imagine this has to do with the same technology as the mouse being able to move around the screen?
And another question regarding the new i phone,what is it that allows the iphone to have applications that let you interact with what's going on in the screen in relation to how the i phone is positioned? I know there probably won't be any simple answer to both questions but if somebody could point me to the right resources I have no problem taking the initiative to educate myself.Thank you for any help.
