What is a computer system?• A computer system is a mix of electronic hardware
and software.
• But it can only follow the instructions that we give it.
• It accepts data as input and processes it to provide us with an output, such as informationor a physical action.

Input Push the ‘capture’ button to take a photograph.
ProcessLight is captured through the camera lenses and transformed to create a digital image.
OutputThe digital image is shown on the monitor screen.

• A computer system accepts data and instructions at the inputstage.
INPUT
• Input devices, such as a keyboard or sensor, are used to collect and provide the computer system with data or instructions.

Data• Data is a collection of facts about something or somebody.
• This data can be used in many different ways to provide information about you.
• It could be a collection of numbers, letters, dates, images and sound.
• For example, your height, age, shoe size, hair colour and gender etc is data.

• Data and instructions are processed by a central processing unit (CPU).
• A CPU is the computer system’s brain that can transform data from input devices into useful information or a physical action.
• The CPU can process data really fast but it can’t think for itself. It only does what it is told to do by following instructions.

Information• Data becomes information when it is put into context (i.e.
given meaning).
• A barcode number is just data on its own. So is the product name, image and price.
• But this data becomes meaningful information when the data is put together.
• When a barcode is scanned, we can find out what item it is, what it looks like and how much it will cost.

• An output is when the computer communicates the results of the processed data.
• The data has been transformed into useful informationthat we can see and use.
OUTPUT
• This information is usually shown on a display monitor or paper printout and it should be easy for us to understand.

Example:
A Microwave OvenInput = use buttons or a dial to set the temperature and cooking time.Process = the food will be cooked at the temperature and duration set.Output = the microwave will heat the food and make a sound when it has finished.
