Study Notes

Digital Devices and Their Functions

  • Digital devices function by accepting inputs, processing that information, and producing outputs.
  • Examples of inputs include pressing keys on a keyboard, while outputs are displayed on the screen.

Input, Process, Output Model

  • Each digital device operates on the I-P-O (Input, Process, Output) model.
  • Example: Pressing the ‘H’ key results in the input being processed to display 'H' on the screen.

Cyber Attacks

  • Cyber attacks are attempts by criminals to steal online information without the owner's consent.
  • Awareness of these threats is crucial for online security.

Secure Passwords

  • A secure password is essential for protecting digital information.
  • Among given examples, the password "Dogc&tmeAn25" is likely the most secure due to its complexity.

Lesson Objectives

  • Understand the function of digital devices and their components.
  • Develop the ability to explain inputs, processes, outputs, and secure passwords.

Assessment of Confidence
