Key ideas

A computer system combines hardware, software, data, people and procedures. Input devices capture data, processing transforms it, storage retains it and output communicates results. System software manages resources, while application software helps users perform tasks. Choose equipment by the task and constraints rather than by appearance.

Practice activity

Specify a computer system for a school library. Explain the input, processing, storage and output needed when a learner borrows a book.

Check your response
