Input is any data and instructions entered into the memory of a computer. People have a variety of options for entering data and instructions into a computer. Data is a collection of unprocessed items, including text, numbers, images, audio, and video. Once data is memory, the computer interprets and executes instructions to process the data into information. Instructions entered into the computer can be in the form of programs, commands, and user responses.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Computers
Read post, answer question, and respond to one of your classmate's postings. (Periods 1-3)
Virtually everyone who works with computers has experienced problems with computer software. Problems can range from not being able to install the software on your computer to installed software producing unanticipated results. Depending on the situation and time these problems occur, it can result in a great amount of user stress. Some people compare these types of problems to a craftsman's tools malfunctioning in the middle of the project. On the other hand, many people feel reactions to computer software problems tend to be more extreme than reactions to problems with other tools they use. Evaluate situations in which you have seen people react to computer software problems. Discuss how these users can reduce their frustration when dealing with such problems.
