It is about the hardware and software components of the computer. <a>Visit our sitel</a> here you can get more information about technology,business and finance,entertainment,games etc

1. Hardware & Software
Components

2. Organizational Computing
Input Devices
Processing
Secondary Storage Media
Output Devices

4. Hardware refers to the equipment in a
CBIS.
3 perspectives of organizational computing
are
• Large system computing
• Stand alone personal computing
• Network computing

5. In large-system computing configurations,
terminals are attached to a central
computer. The central computer performs
most computations and controls attached
peripherals such as printers.

6. Personal computers are used for individual
work. Stand alone systems are not linked
to other personal computers or large
systems.

7. In network computing, multiple
workstations allow users to share data
and computing resources, both local and
remote. Personal computer networks may
also be linked to large systems.

8. End user input devices
