Consider the computer program with the algorithm: start, do something, goto start. This program will iterate for ever if there is no external interruption.Consciousness is a program that iterate like this.
Even when we become unconscious this will not stop. Because we are able to recall events before.It stops only when we die, then we reach the state of cannot recall.
Our brain is active even when we are unconscious. It gives signals to breadth etc.
The activity of being conscious has one to one relation to a iterating computer program. We will be able to understand about what is consciousness by analogousing it to an iterating computer program.
A computer can be made a conscious being if it can run sufficiently complicated program that takes into account all its inputs and run a iterating program.
