The IPOS Model Of Computer
The IPOS model is one of the simple model that gives us an idea of the complex computer system. The I stands for Input, example of input devices is a keyboard. The keyboard inputs the data in to the computer. Then comes the P, and the P stands for processing, an example of processing device is the processor. Ones the information is entered in the computer by the keyboard, the processor processes the data and this tells what kind of functions the computers should perform. Then the data is stored in the storage/memory devices. An example of a storage device is a hard drive. Once the data is processed it is sent through RAM ( temporary storage device, stores DATA until data is completely stored) and to the hard drive, where the data is permanently stored. Form here the data can be retrieved when you need to. When the data is processed, you can see it, touch it, or hear it after. This part of the cycle is called after. An example of this is the monitor the monitor displays the processed information on the screen. Some other example of this would be speakers, and the page that comes out of the printer. The IPOS system can also be thought of as the working kitchen system, as mentioned in the diagram. This was just a quick summery of the IPOS model which easily describes the computer system. The truth is that if you go deeper into the subject you will find that the computer system is complex and fascinating system.
