Document Summary
Objectives: describe four main functions of computer, and how they interact with data and info. Define bits and bytes, and how how they are measured, used, and processed. List common types of computers, and discuss main features. Input: gathers data, and allows entering data. Half a byte (called a nibble) = four bits. Byte: unique combinations of 8 bits of 0s and 1s. You have kilobytes (1024 bytes-- can only count in twos) Many users simultaneously ( used by large organizations for bulk data, industry statistics, and processing). Complex calculations ( also large data set, but are made for complex calculations and calculation speed. Implemented as part of a larger device or intelligent system. It enables the connections between machines, people, and the cloud. Examples: keyboard, mouse, microphone, scanner, digital camera, stylus. Send data out of the computer in the form of.
