The document describes the 7 steps of the information processing cycle: input, information processor, fetch, decode, execute, memory, and output. It also lists some key developments in computer history from 1970-1971, including the creation of the Intel 4004 microprocessor, Intel's 1103 RAM memory chip, the first dot matrix printer by Centronics, the introduction of the 8-inch floppy diskette drive, and the first laser printer created by Xerox PARC.

2. This is the first step of putting information into the computer. A example of a input is a mouse. Input

3. The information processor processes all the information you put into it. Information Processor

4. The second step in processing information is fetch. Fetch retrieves program instructions one at a time. Fetch

5. Decode is the second step. Decode Figures out what type of math should be done. Decode

6. Execute reads only ones and zero’s does the math and puts it into the memory. Execute is the one that mainly processes. Execute

7. Memory is the 6th step in the process. The information stays in ROM temporarily. RAM is for long-term. Memory

8. This is the last step in the process. This is where the information is go through the printer or monitor. Output

9. 1970 Computer Development Intel 4004 is made. The first microprocessor. Intel makes a new RAM memory chip called 1103. Centronics shows the first dot matrix printer.

10. 1971 Computer History The first 8” floppy diskette drive was introduced Also the first laser printer was made by Xerox PARC.
