Study Notes

Computer System Components

  • The Input/Output (I/O) device is responsible for converting input into binary language.
  • The Control Unit (CU) fetches instructions from memory and interprets them.
  • The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is considered the control center of a computer system.
  • The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) performs the required computation.
  • The Output device stores the output or displays it on an output device.

Input/Output Concepts

  • Input/Output (I/O) refers to the communication between a computer and the outside world.
  • In the context of computing, inputs are data or instructions that are entered into a computer.
  • Examples of input devices include keyboards, scanners, and microphones.
  • Output devices display or present the results of computation, such as monitors and printers.
  • Multi-function devices, like touchscreens, typically perform both input and output functions.
