There are four types of input into a computer system: text, graphics, audio, and video. Input devices like keyboards, mice, and cameras are used to enter these different types of data. The processing unit, like the CPU, controls all activities in the system and processes the input. The output of processed data comes in four forms: text, graphics, audio, and video. Output devices such as monitors and speakers are used to convey the processed information to the user. Storage holds data, instructions, and information for future use and comes in two types: primary storage like RAM and secondary storage like hard disks.
