Hey everyone, me again 
        This is a simple block diagram of a computer system. We enter the data which is also known to the INPUT then we let the processor process . The processor is divided in 2 big categories which are the CPU and the MM (main memory) the MM is also divided in 2 which are the RAM and ROM. From this stage we can store the information for later use or continue it to get the data out of the computer which is also known as OUTPUT !!!  The output can be both a softcopy which means it is still on the computer or the hardcopy which means it is printout !! That I think covers that !!

Ohhhh and by the way always remember this We enter the data and then give it structure and then information comes out.

Hardware - seen and touched
Software - programs
               - divides in 2 - System software -perform general task and application software -software the computer uses

That's it for today !!! Good night everyone
