devices for processing.
PROCESS
- inside the computer
system unit are the
Processor, Random Access
Memory (RAM) or often
called as memory, and the

Random Access
Memory
Hard Disk
The Memory is closely
associated with
processor.
The Memory temporarily
holds the data because
once you shut down the
computer, all the data,
information and
instructions are also gone.
The data from the
memory is now loaded
to the Central
Processing Unit (CPU)
also known as
The Processor
performs the operation
that converts the data
into information.
(DATA can be letters,
symbols, numbers,
images and perhaps no
meaning to the users)
Using the SAVE
command from your
application software, you
can store the
information to other
storage devices
Ex: Hard Disk, Flash Drive
and External Hard Disk
for a longer time which
you can access later for
further manipulation
OUTPUT
- Output is the result
produced by the
processor. Output is a
usable information, and it
can be in the form of
- As you enter the data or
after the data has been
processed, you will see
the result through a
computer monitor, which
is considered as the
primary output device.
- Computer wait for the user
to enter data. This data will
be used by the computer to
process and later produce an
output. Data can be in the
form of text, numbers, audio,
images and video, therefore
different input devices are
