 Lab Exercise 1

A workstation is a device that accepts information (in the

form of digitalized data) and manipulates it for some result
based on a program sequence of instructions on how the
data is to be processed. Complex workstations also
include the means for storing data (including the
program,which is also a form of data) for some necessary
duration. A program may be invariable and built into the
workstation(and called logic circuitry as it is on
microprocessors) or different programs may be provided
to the workstation (loaded into its storage and then started
by an administrator or user).Today's workstations have
both kinds of programming.
