If the device's main purpose is to gather information for the computer, then it's an input device. If its main purpose is to let the computer communicate information to the user, then it's an output …

Computers can take many different types of input, like the keyboard of a computer, the touch pad of a phone, a camera, a microphone, or a GPS, but even the sensors on a car, a thermostat, …

In the next video from Code.org, a designer and CEO will step through the process of typing input into a computer and rendering the output on the screen. After the video, we'll review each of …

They may look different, but they all share the same underlying technology. The more we understand how that technology works, the more we can use the computers around us to help …

Computer memory isn't infinite, so there's a limit to how much data we can input before we overflow the memory. Computers also vary a lot in memory size, usually because of physical …

Understand hardware, software, CPU, memory, storage devices, and key characteristics of a computer system.

Computers perform more than simple Boolean logic operations on input data, and they typically output more than a single binary digit. Computers definitely use logic gates for all their …

Next, you'll zoom out and look at the different parts of the computer that actually input, output, and store all that information. Finally, you'll take a look at what code actually is and how software …

Understand hardware, software, CPU, memory, storage devices, and key characteristics of a computer system.

This diagram visualizes that flow: In the next video from Code.org, a designer and CEO will step through the process of typing input into a computer and rendering the output on the screen. …
