The Basics – What is Information?
• Information is data processed for some purpose
• Information can only be considered to be 'real' Info if it meets certain criteria i.e.
• 1. it must be communicated to the recipient
• 2. it must be in a language that is understood
• 3. it must be in a suitable form
• 4. it must be relevant for achieving some purpose

Information
Information is
any form of
communication
that provides
understandable
and useful
knowledge for
the person
receiving it.

What Is A Computer?
A computer is a general
purpose, programmable
device that is used for
the production and
processing of
information
capable of calculating
and storing results

What do we mean by general purpose?
Computers, however, can be used for almost any purpose :
- typewriter
- video editor
- accounts tracker
- database/address book
- DVD / CD Player
- and many others…

Computers Are Programmable
Computers respond to instructions in the form of
programs
Programs are written in order to make computers
behave in specific ways i.e. word processor, systems
control
Programs are stored in the Computer memory

How computers process information
Computers accept inputs (data)
The input is translated into binary numbers and
‘processed’
The process produces output (information)
This sequence can repeat endlessly: outputs can be
inputs!
Illustrating this - the ‘Black Box’ model

Processing - the ‘Black Box’ model
We can think of a computer as a ‘black box’ :
Data
input process output
Information Computer

Components of a Computer System
Computer Systems are made up of:
Hardware – the physical parts
Software - the instructions or programs that control the
hardware
The Human Being – the brains behind the whole
system!
