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.
