Study Notes
Exam Intended for Advanced Users
- Exam targets advanced end users interested in IT careers and professional certifications (like A+).
Binary Representation
- CPUs and RAM components use on/off states (1s and 0s) represented by transistors.
- CPUs process billions of binary instructions per second, creating the perception of "thinking."
Data Flow in Computer Systems
- Data flows through a computer system primarily via input, output, processing, and storage.
Input Devices
- Input devices—peripherals like mice, keyboards, scanners, cameras, and microphones—allow users to enter data.
- Modern PC platforms often use Microsoft Windows.
- Built-in input devices include keyboards, touchpads, and touchscreens.
Windows Sign-In Procedure
- Sign in using a password or user icon.
- The search box is located on the taskbar next to the Start button.
- Applications can be launched via the search box.
