Study Notes
Processing
- The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is responsible for processing data.
- Processing involves performing calculations or logical operations.
Storage
- Data is stored either during or after processing.
- Storage devices are non-volatile, meaning data is saved even when the computer is turned off.
Software Types
- Commercial (Proprietary) software is paid software where users cannot modify the code.
- Example: Microsoft Office
- Vertical software is designed for specific industries or businesses.
- Example: Medical billing software
- Horizontal software is designed for general use across industries.
Software Needs
- Hardware Needs: Some software require specific hardware, like a high-end graphics card.
- Storage Needs: Ensure enough space on your hard drive for the software.
- Software Documentation: Includes built-in help accessed through the "Help" menu, and user guides.
User Interface (UI) Elements
- Main Menu: Provides access to key functions within the software.
- Dropdown Menu: Allows users to select options from a list.
- Fields: Input text boxes for entering data.
- Labels: Descriptive text associated with UI elements.
- Checkboxes: Allow users to select multiple options.
- Radio Buttons: Allow users to select only one option from a group.
Storage Devices
- Hard Disk Drive (HDD): Uses spinning disks to store data.
- Solid State Drive (SSD): Uses flash memory for faster data access compared to HDDs.
- Hybrid Drives (SSHD): Combine SSD and HDD technologies for a balance between performance and storage capacity.
