The computer consists of the hardware (CPU, RAM, storage and all other devices) and the OS (processes and data). What do these correspond to in the factory? The CPU is a control booth with a phone and the RAM is a special waiting place for the workers. The storage device is a dormitory and the other devices are the rest of the machinery used in the factory.
The dormitory is occupied by the men and the women. Seeing as men like to be active they are the processes, the ones doing different tasks, while the women hold the instructions. They are the data stored in files. So, the women give instructions and the men do what they are told.
Besides these we have two more components.
The user (the person operating the computer) is the factory manager. Software applications (programs such as web browser, media players and others) are the external consultants.
