MEMORY

An SSD is better than a magnetic hard drive because it is faster although they come at higher prices at lower memory capacities. I think personally that optical disks will go out of use because of their low memory capacity and the fact that you can buy everything online now.

Inputs and Outputs

For example a touch screen tablet or phone, When you touch the screen (Input) it processes the information and goes onto what you touched (Output).

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT

Stands for "Central Processing Unit." This is the pretty much the brain of your computer. It processes everything from basic instructions to complex stuff. Any time something needs to be computed, it gets sent to the CPU. Every day, it's compute this, compute that, you'd think the CPU would need a break after awhile. But no, it just keeps on processing. The CPU can also be referred to simply as the processor.

Explain the difference between proprietary standards and open standards

Both proprietary and open standards are made by developers or inventors. Yet proprietary standards are owned by a company and cannot be copied by other companies, a bit like copyright. Open standards are available to everyone and can be edited by anyone to make it better, or possibly make it worse.

Considerations

These are privacy and security parts of the computing system.

Environmental considerations:

Computers need to be disposed of correctly and need to have a low power consumption.

Legal considerations:

DON'T HACK
