IPO CYCLE

INPUT-PROCESS-OUTPUT CYCLE
 IPO CYCLE
The IPO Cycle is how a computer intakes data, processes the data, outputs
information, and then saves the information.

1.Input
Computer receives data from input device. 
2.Processing
Computer's central processing unit (CPU) processes the data into information.

3.Output
Meaningful information displayed on monitor or printed out.

 PERIPHERAL
DEVICES
A peripheral is a device attached to
a host computer but not part of it,
and is more or less dependent on
the host. It expands the host's
capabilities, but does not form part
of the core computer architecture.
Examples are computer printers, 
image scanners, tape drives, 
microphones, loudspeakers, 
webcams, and digital cameras.
 KEYBOARD
In computing, a keyboard is an input device, partially modeled after
the typewriter keyboard, which uses an arrangement of buttons or 
keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches. A keyboard
typically has characters engraved or printed on the keys and each
press of a key typically corresponds to a single written symbol.
However, to produce some symbols requires pressing and holding
several keys simultaneously or in sequence. While most keyboard
keys produce letters, numbers or signs(characters), other keys or
simultaneous key presses can produce actions or computer
commands.
 MONITOR
A monitor or display (sometimes called
a visual display unit) is an 
electronic visual display for computers. The
monitor comprises the display device, circuitry
, and an enclosure. The display device in
modern monitors is typically a 
thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-
LCD), while older monitors use a 
cathode ray tube (CRT).
 PRINTER
In computing, a printer is a peripheral which
produces a hard copy (permanent readable text
and/or graphics) of documents stored in electronic
 form, usually on physical print media such as paper
or transparencies. Many printers are primarily used
as local peripherals, and are attached by a printer
cable or, in most newer printers, a USB cable to a
computer which serves as a document source

TYPES OF PRINTERS:
1. DAISY WHEEL PRINTER
2. DOT MATRIX PRINTER
3. INKJET PRINTERS
4. LASER PRINTERS
MEMORY AND STORAGE

RAM HARDDISK
 TYPES OF MEMORY
Primary storage (or main
memory or internal memory),
often referred to simply
as memory, is the only one
directly accessible to the CPU.
The CPU continuously reads
instructions stored there and
executes them as required. Any
data actively operated on is also
stored there in uniform manner.
Secondary storage (or external
memory) differs from primary storage
in that it is not directly accessible by the
CPU. The computer usually uses its 
input/output channels to access
secondary storage and transfers the
desired data using intermediate area in
primary storage. Secondary storage does
not lose the data when the device is
powered down—it is non-volatile. Per
unit, it is typically also two orders of
magnitude less expensive than primary
storage. Consequently, modern
computer systems typically have two
orders of magnitude more secondary
storage than primary storage and data is
kept for a longer time there.
 PENDRIVE
PEN DRIVE
A PEN DRIVE OR USB flash drive consists of 
flash memory data storage device integrated with a 
USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.1 or 2.0 interface. USB
flash drives are typically removable and rewritable,
much smaller than a floppy disk, and most weigh less
than 30 g (1 oz).[1] Storage capacities in 2010 can be as
large as 256 GB with steady improvements in size and
price per capacity. Some allow 1 million write or erase
cyclesnd have a 10-year data retention cycle
HARD DISK
A hard disk is part of a unit, often called a "disk drive," "hard
drive," or "hard disk drive," that stores and provides relatively
quick access to large amounts of data on an
electromagnetically charged surface or set of surfaces. Today's
computers typically come with a hard disk that contains
several billion bytes (gigabytes) of storage. A hard disk is
really a set of stacked "disks," each of which, like phonograph
records, has data recorded electromagnetically in concentric
circles or "tracks" on the disk. A "head" (something like a
phonograph arm but in a relatively fixed position) records
(writes) or reads the information on the tracks. Two heads,
one on each side of a disk, read or write the data as the disk
spins. Each read or write operation requires that data be
located, which is an operation called a "seek." (Data already in
a disk cache, however, will be located more quickly.)
