Input, process, output and storage DEVICES of a computer
A computer is a machine that process information. In order to understand how a computer operates one must have an idea of the over all process of it. Input devices such as a mouse, keyboard, microphone, and scanner are all ways of getting information into the computer. The purpose of the processor is to carry out commands that have been given to by either the user or a program. Once information has been computed it is given back to the user by means of the monitor, printer, speakers, headphones, or projector. This information may need to be stored for later use, it can be stored on a dvd, cd, USB thumb drive, hard drive and other such devices. Cloud storage is nothing more than storing information on servers located on the ground normally in a different geographical location.
