Study Notes

  • Computer: An electronic device that accepts data from a user, performs operations and calculations, and produces output as a result

Function of Computers

  • The flow is Input -> Processing -> Output -> Storage memory

  • Input: Data and information entered into a computer is called input

  • Processing: Sequence of actions on data to convert it into meaningful information for the user

  • Output: Output screen for data

  • Storage: Permanent storage of data

  • Data processing consists of Input, Output, and Processing

Odd one Out Note

  • Mouse, keyboard, joystick, and printer: All except the printer are input devices

  • Monitor, keyboard, graphic card, and stabilizer: All except the stabilizer connect with the computer and are used for charging purposes on outside devices to maintain voltage

  • Mouse, light pen, trackball, keyboard: All except the keyboard are pointing devices

  • Mouse, monitor, light pen, stabilizer: All except the stabilizer are components of computers

  • 1 TB = 10^12
