PROCESSING CYCLE OF THE COMPUTER

     We also name the main parts of the computer: the monitor, CPU and the internal parts of the CPU. Some of it parts are hard-disk,mother board,memory and the most important part is the microprocessor, which is the brain of the computer. It performs all the task-- from arithmetic operations to logical operations. I also learned its processing cycle. The computer inputs data, processes the data, stores the data and information and lastly, inputs the data information.

    What makes a computer powerful? Why is computer so important in our lives theses days? These devices created by man helped man a lot in many ways. It performs task quickly, accurately, and produces reliable results.  We can now set aside the old ways of storing files. Because of computers, we can now save huge amount of data like employee information, names of registered voters in a certain area and the like. Forget the dusty folders in shelves for storing files! Space consuming, isn't it? Most importantly, we are able to share any information you can think of through computers, from all over the world.

      Its undeniable that computers make our way of living pretty easy. It enhances our quality of life making it convenient for us to work, study, learn and have fun!
