OVERVIEW
STORAGE
- The series of input, processing, output and storage is very often called the information processing cycle.
- A computer is the machine that performs the information processing cycle.
- The input stage can be further broken down into acquisition, data entry and validation.
- The output stage on the other stage can be further divided into interactive queries and routine reports. a fifth stage is often attributable to this cycle, which is archiving and deletion of unwanted data.
- Most computers have the capability of communicating with other computers. thus communications also has become an important element of the information processing cycle.
OUTPUT
- A computer storage device is any type of hardware that stores data.
- The most common type of storage device, which nearly all computers have, is a hard drive.
- The computer's primary hard drive stores the operating system, applications, and files and folders for users of the computer.
- Anything that comes out of a computer.
- Output can be meaningful information or gibberish, and it can appear in a variety of forms -- as binary numbers, as characters, as pictures, and as printed pages.
- Output devices include display screens, loudspeakers, and printers.
PROCESSING
- A process is a program that is running on your computer.
- This can be anything from a small background task, such as a spell-checker or system events handler to a full-blown application like Internet Explorer or Microsoft Word.
INPUT
- Some input data can go directly to the computer for processing.
- Input in this category includes bar codes, speech that enters the computer through a microphone, and data entered by means of a device that converts motions to on-screen action.
- Some input data, however, goes through a good deal of intermediate handling, such as when it is copied from a source document and translated to a medium that a machine can read, such as a magnetic disk.
