CONCEPT NOTES:
An input device is a piece of hardware that sends data to a computer. Most input
devices either interact with or control the computer in some way. The most common input
devices are the mouse and the keyboard, but there are many others. Keyboard inputs data
like text to the computer. Card reader inputs graphics or image file. The key distinction
between an input device and an output device is that the former sends data to the
computer, whereas the latter receives data from the computer. Input and output devices that
provide computers with additional functionality are also called peripheral or auxiliary devices.
EXERCISE
A. Check the table which data are being sent to the computer system by
the following input devices. Number 1 is done for you.

LEARNING CONCEPT:
An output device is a piece of computer hardware that receives data from a computer and
then translates that data into another form. That form may be audio, visual, textual, or hard copy
such as a printed document.

LEARNING CONCEPT:
Primary memory usually refers to Random Access Memory (RAM), while secondary
storage refers to devices such as hard disk drives, solid state drives, removable "USB"
Rperaltadrives, CDs, and DVDs. Primary storage is the component of the computer that
CDONHSJHholds data, programs and instructions that are currently in use. It is located on
the motherboard.. The two main types of primary storage are ROM( Read Only Memory),
which is non-volatile that keeps its contents even when the computer is switched off., and
RAM ( Random Access Memory) , which is volatile which loses its contents when power is

LEARNING CONCEPT:
System software is meant to administer the system resources. It enables the computer to
function properly. System software provides an interface between the system hardware and the
user. It lets the system understand the command that the user inputs.
Application software is meant to enable the user to carry out some specific set of tasks or
functions. This software is meant to meet some specific needs for the user to accomplish a specific
task. It cannot be used without the system software and it enables user to work efficiently with
documentation.

LEARNING CONCEPT:
A computer interface is any program or device that allows users to communicate with
the computer. When we boot or start a computer, it loads the operating system into its hard
drive. The table below summarizes the 3 types of interface in an operating system
( command line, menu driven & Graphical) responsible for the different task cited below.
Today, multitasking operating systems enable users to work with two or more application
programs at the same time. A device driver is a small program that tells the operating system how
to communicate with a specific device.
