 WHAT IS COMPUTER?
•A computer is a multipurpose electronic
device that can receive, store, process
data and deliver information.

•It is an electronic device design to

manipulate data into more useful form.
 DATA
Data defined as a representation of
facts, concepts or instructions in a
formalized manner which should be
suitable for communication,
interpretation, or processing by human
or electronic machine.
 DATA
• ANY COLLECTION OF FACTS.
• RAW MATERIALS GATHERED FORM OR
MORE SOURCES.

Examples:
name age birthday
father's name mother's name
address school
 INFORMATI
ON
• Information is organized or
classified data which has
some meaningful values for
the receiver.
Characteristics of data:

•Timely
•Accuracy
•Completeness
 FUNCTIONALITIES OF
COMPUTER
• TAKES DATA AS INPUT.
• STORES THE DATA/INSTRUCTIONS IN ITS
MEMORY AND USE THEM WHEN REQUIRED.
• PROCESSES THE DATA AND CONVERTS IT INTO
USEFUL INFORMATION.
• GENERATES THE OUTPUT
• CONTROLS ALL THE ABOVE FOUR STEPS.

Origination
• Is a step which refers to the process of collecting
the original data. An original recording of the
data is called a source document.

DISTRIBUTION

•It refers to the distribution of the

output data. Recordings of the output
data are often called report documents.
STORAGE
•Data processing results are frequently placed in
storage to be used as input data for further
processing at a later date.

•Is a crucial in many data processing procedures .

data processing results are frequently placed in
storage to be used as input data for further
processing at a later date.
