Information
processing cycle :
Input :entering data
to computer
Processing
:transforming data to
information
Output :presenting
the results
Storage: saving data
for future use

Information :data
that has been
processed into
meaningful form
and useful to
people

Data :
unprocessed item

system

Computer ; An
electronic device
that performs 4
basic operation ;
input , process ,
output , storage

Computer
system : A
collection of
related computer
component
(hardware/softwar
e) that have been
designed to
worked together
smoothly

The smallest unt of

data a computer can
process consist of
1(on) and 0(off)
bit

Data representation

Use to measure data

transfer rate of
computer
communications
device
:Kbps Mbps Gbps
8 bits grouped
together as a unit
represent 256
individual

bytes
Use to measure
