Data flows around a computer system by first being stored on the hard drive as programs and files. When a program is run, the processor copies the data from the hard drive into random access memory (RAM). New data entered through input devices like a keyboard is converted to binary code and stored in RAM. The processor then takes the data from RAM and outputs it to devices like monitors, and saves updated data back to the hard drive.

● Represent and describe how data flows around a computer system. (P3, 1.3)
● Programs And Files are stored on the hard drive
● The processor then loads up the software/Application copying the data from the hard drive to the main memory (RAM) (Random Access Memory) ● New Data is entered Via an input device such as a keyboard this data is then inputted and transferred into binary code which then the computer understands ● The processor then stores this data into the main memory (RAM) (Random Access Memory) ● The processor Takes in all this new data and outputs onto an output device such as a monitor ● The Data is then saved to the hard drive when the user instructs it to do so
