The document summarizes the history and flow of computing. It describes the basic input, processing, memory, and output functions of a computer system. Processing involves fetching binary codes from input, decoding the binary into readable information, and executing the decoded instructions by sending data to memory. Memory then stores the data and sends it to output such as a monitor for the user to see. The document also briefly lists some computing milestones from 1980-1981.

1. History and Flow By Megan Gomez Period 3

2. Input Is data accepted by the system. Some examples of input are a keyboard or a mouse. Input

3. Processing Processing 3 primary functions: Fetch, Decode, and Execute

4. Fetch Fetch Gets the binary codes to decode.

5. Decode *Decode *It receives the binary *It decodes it (turns it into information we can read and understand. *Then gives the information to Execute.

6. Execute Execute Execute receives the information from decode and gives it to memory.

7. Memory Memory saves the data. Then the data goes to output. Memory

8. Output Output Output is the final stage. The monitor is output. Were the information ends up for you to see.

9. 1980 and 1981 *Gmelin Handbuch starts language conversion from German to English. *First good marketing IBM. *Burrough changes B6800 with B6700 *Computer Center changes name to Office of Computer Service. *IBM 4341 A gets Administrative computing

10. The End
