A file is a collection of information or data that can be stored on a computer or other electronic device. Think of it like a digital version of a paper document or folder that you might use to organize papers in a physical filing cabinet.


        Files can contain different types of information, such as text, images, music, videos, or programs. For example, a Word document is a type of file that contains text, while a JPEG file contains an image.

        Files are stored on the device's storage, whether it be a hard drive, a flash drive, or the cloud. They can be accessed, edited, or deleted by users with the right permissions.

        When you open a file, you are essentially telling your device's operating system to read the file and display the contents to you. You can interact with the contents of the file, such as reading the text, watching the video, or editing the document.

        Files are named and organised into folders to help users keep track of their digital information. It's important to keep your files organised so that you can find them quickly and easily when you need them.

        In summary, a file is a collection of data or information that is stored on a computer or electronic device. They can contain different types of information, and they are organized into folders to help keep track of them.
