The flash drive has a USB connector on one end, and the other end plugs into a USB port on the computer. When the flash drive is plugged in, it will show up as an icon on the desktop or in Windows Explorer.

A flash drive stores information in the form of binary code. This code is translated into ones and zeros when it is read by the computer, which then displays those bytes as a file on the screen.
