 Lesson

1 Input Data into Computer

What I Need to Know

At the end of this module, you should be able to:

1. Identify how computer works.
2. Classify the inputted data in storage media according to requirements

Technology has become the integral part of modernization in our society. It

opens door to information that will be needed by people who seek knowledge through
the use of computer. Using computer, people can search and gain information by
simply accessing the internet. Just a click away, the information is being presented.

The things that are presented in the computer are simply coming from people
who put information using computer. It is through the use of different programs/
applications software that could process the data being inputted by the person.

In this lesson, you will learn more about how a computer works.

What’s New

Exercise:

Direction: Answer the given question. Write your answer on a separate sheet of
paper/notebook.

 What Is It

The importance of applying OHS in every task that we do in the workplace or in a

laboratory is to avoid any accidents and injuries in order to attain our desired output in doing
the task.

As a computer system servicing student, to attain the desired goal in the task given,
you must also familiarize the components of the computer and how the computer works in
order to avoid confusion.

How Computer Works?

A computer is an electronic machine made up of hardware and software that work

together to do a task.

A software refers to a program or application installed into a computer to do a specific

task. The examples are word processing program and presentation program.

Figure 1. Software

A hardware is a computer parts or device that you can see or touch.

Each hardware performs a specific function. It could be as an Input Device or

as an Output Device.

Figure 2. Hardware 2
What is Data?

Data is a collection of facts and figures such as values or measurements.

The data is the raw material to be processed by a computer.

Data versus Information

When data are processed, interpreted, organized, structured or presented so as to

make them meaningful or useful, they are called information.

Figure 3. Data vs Information

Differences in Meaning

Figure 4. Difference in Meaning

The raw input is data and it has no significance when it exists in that form. When data
is collated or organized into something meaningful, it gains significance.

This meaningful organization is information.

3
Types of Data

Numeric data

• The data which is represented in the form of numbers

• This includes 0-9 digits, a decimal point (.), +, /, - sign and the letters “E”
or “D”.

Figure 5. Numeric Data

Character data

Figure 7. Data Processing

Data Processing Cycle

- Data processing is simply the conversion of raw data to meaningful information through
a process.

- The data is processed again and again until the accurate result is achieved.

Figure 8. Stages of the Data Processing

STAGE 3: Input

Input is the task where verified data is coded or converted into machine readable form
so that it can be processed through a computer
A hardware is an input device if it is used to enter data or give commands to the
computer. Two of the most common input devices are keyboard and mouse. A keyboard is
an input device because if you want to enter data to the computer, we have to press the keys
or each letter, numbers or special keys. A mouse is also an input device because if you want
to give instruction to the computer, we have to press its buttons.

Figure 9. Third Stage

STAGE 4: Processing

Processing is when the data is subjected to various means and methods of

manipulation, the point where a computer program is being executed, and it contains the
program code and its current activity.

Areas of Data Processing

• Classifying
• Sorting
• Calculating
• Summarizing
• Comparing

5
STAGE 5: Output

Output is presented to users in various formats like:

Graphics
Audio
Video

A hardware is an output device if it gives the results done by the computer. Some of the
common devices are:

1. Monitor – It displays the text, graphics and documents done in the computer 2.
Printer – It prints the text and graphics that you have inputted to the paper. 3.
Speakers and headphones – These are output devices because through them, you
could hear sounds and music coming from your computer.

STAGE 6: Storage

- Storage is a location in which data, instruction, and information are held for future use
- Every computer uses to hold system software and application software
- A storage medium, also called secondary storage is the physical material in the
computer that keeps data, instruction, and information.

Types of Data Processing

1. Manual Data Processing

The process of data entry implies many opportunities for errors, such as:

• Delays in data capture

• A high amount of operator misprints
• High labor costs from the amount of manual labor required, etc.

6
2. Electronic data processing Manual Data Processing
This kind of data processing uses computers for recording, manipulating, and summarizing
data.

Computers can help when it comes to:

• Accuracy
• Speed
• Consistency
• Storage capacity
• Automation

Computer data processing

The eleven data processing operations in a computer are:

• Recording
• Verifying
• Duplicating
• Classifying
• Sorting
• Calculating
• Summarizing and reporting
• Merging
• Storing
• Retrieving
• Feedback

The components involved in data processing are:

• Central Processing Unit (CPU)

• Computer Memory (RAM and ROM)
• Data bus
• Ports
• Motherboard
• Hard disk
• Output Devices
• Input Devices

7
Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Computer Memory (RAM and ROM)

When the computer is doing any job, the data that have to be processed are stored in the
primary memory.

The terms related to memory of a computer are:

• Random Access Memory (RAM)

• Read Only Memory (ROM)
• Programmable read-only memory (PROM)
• Cache Memory
• Registers

8
Input Devices

Keyboard

The layout of keyboard is just like the traditional typewriter of the type QWERTY.

Mouse

It rolls on a small ball and has two or three buttons on the top

Scanner

Scanner is an optical device that can input any graphical matter and display it back.

Output Devices

Visual Display Unit

It is also called the monitor.

9
Speaker

It is an output hardware device that connects to a computer to generate sound.

Printer

It is an important output device which can be used to get a printed copy of the processed text
or result on paper.

10
Computer Processing Operations

A computer can perform only the following four operations which enable computers to carry
out the various data processing activities we have just discussed.

• Input/Output Operations
• Calculation and text manipulation operations
• Logic/Comparison Operations
• Storage and Retrieval Operations

What’s More

Direction: Answer the given questions. Write your answer on a separate sheet of
paper/notebook.

1. Why is data important?

2. How can you relate the parts of the computer to a person?

What I Have Learned

Direction: Draw a concept map about data processing on a separate sheet of

paper/notebook.

11
 What I Can Do
