Computerized storage for information and facts
Database
Programs that instruct computers to perform specific operations
Software
closely connected to the processor, stored data are quickly and easily changed, holds the programs and data that the processor is actively working with.
Main memory
contain billions of transistors; responsible for the fundamental computing within the system, and directly or indirectly controls all the other components
Processor
the process of transferring data between storage types, formats, or computer system
Data migration
The physical components of a computer system (e.g., the central processing unit, hard drive, modem)
Hardware
a particular computer will have a particular type of processor
Central Processing Unit (CPU):
components are connected to the main circuit board of the computer.
Motherboard
memory cells can be accessed in any order and the type of silicon chip used to implement main memory
RAM (Random Access Memory)
Handling information, especially facts. Converting facts and figures into useful information. Analyzing collected facts and figures and putting them into formats useful to a business.
Data processing
set of coordinated network of components, which act together towards producing, distributing and or processing information.
Information system
Computer system
consists of two or more computers connected so that they can exchange data and programs.
Network
used to make a section of main memory read-only.
ROM (Read Only Memory):
Facts and figures.
Data
integration of computer with telecommunication equipment for storing, retrieving, manipulating and storage of data.
Information technology
a computer system that is part of a larger machine and which controls how that machine operates
Embedded system
responsible for starting up application programs, running them, and managing the resources that they need.
Operating system
connected to main memory, stored data are easily changed, but changes are slow compared to main memory, and used for long-term storage of programs and data.
Secondary memory
