in a computer system
THE MAIN PROCESS
Easier Explanation
Detailed Example
 Parts of this process and
what you need to remember

Input Unit – Units or

devices that allow
the user to ENTER DATA.
Data – unprocessed information that
will go into central processing unit so
that the
computer can show it to you as
information.
Information – is the organized data
that
has been processed by the central
processing unit
so that the user can see it through
output devices.
 Data Information
Data is unorganized and unrefined facts Information comprises processed,
organized data presented in a meaningful
context
Data is an individual unit that contains raw Information is a group of data that
materials which do not carry any specific collectively carries a logical meaning.
meaning.
Data doesn’t depend on information. Information depends on data.

Raw data alone is insufficient for decision Information is sufficient for decision
making making
An example of data is a student’s The average score of a class is the
test score information derived from the given
data.
 Central Processing Unit
-Brain of the Computer
-Consist of Control Unit
-and Arithmetic Logic Unit
 Control Unit
-It is responsible to direct the system
and execute the instructions.
-This is the guide so that the
computer will do its tasks efficiently
 Arithmetic Logic Unit
-the part of CPU where it does the
arithmetic operations
(add,sub,div,mul) and logical
operations (and,or,not)
 ALU also has the access to RAM
(Random Access Memory) for faster
recalling of stored functions
 Storage Units/Memory Unit
-Units where you can store
information permanently or
temporarily for future use.
(HDD,SSD,RAM,ODD,Flashdrive)
 Types of Storage Units
Permanent Storage
-also called persistent storage, is any
computer data storage device that
retains its data when the device is
unpowered. A common example of
permanent storage is the computer's hard
drive or SSD.
