Information Processing Cycle

Importance of Computer
Computer is the key of IT world. First we’ll get an overall knowledge about the
computer.
 

What Is A Computer?
A computer is an electronic machine, operating under the control of instructions
stored in its own memory that can accept data, manipulate the data according to
specified rules, produce results, and store the results for future use.
 

Information Processing Cycle
Input is any data or instructions you enter into a computer. Output is data that has
been p rocessed into information. Computers process input (data) into output
(information).
Storage is an area in a computer that can hold data and information for future use.
This series of input, process, output, and storage activities sometimes is called the
information processing cycle.
Most computers today have the capability of communicating with other computers.
Thus, communications also has become an important element of the information
processing cycle.
