IFS H/W Infrastructure


      

       The picture shows the physical box which is the system unit. Inside of the computer is the CPU or microprocessor which is made of two parts the ALU which handles the mathematics while the control unit handles decoding and fetching instructions like the 8-bit ASCII binary code you see above. Input technologies  are used to put information into the computer. Processing technologies transform the inputs into outputs. such as the transformation of binary code into usable language. Output technologies  like the computer monitor show you what you see on the screen. The language that computers understand is called machine language which is binary code. In binary code The individual 1's and 0's that are shown above are bits. When 8 bits are put together it equals a byte.
