Question

The retrieval of information form the computer is defined as

• A. Data processing
• B. Input
• C. Output
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Output

The retrieval of information form the computer is defined as Output.

A computer is a machine that can be programmed to accept data (input), process it into useful information (output), and store it away (in a secondary storage device) for safekeeping or later reuse. The processing of input to output is directed by the software but performed by the hardware.

Each system first must have a means to input information. This information is then processed. From the processed information, the computer produces some type of output. Input or output devices can be modified to provide access to individuals with disabilities who cannot use standard input or output devices.
