  21. Special purpose computer General purpose computer Programs in fixed, read only memory (ROM) Programs in volatile, random access memory (RAM)

  22. A few questions

  23. Where does the Internet fit in our system diagram?

  24. The Internet is Input and Output device

  25. What is the input device on the iPad tablet computer? What other input and output devices would you like to see on a tablet computer?Is the storage capacity of your computer greater or less than the memory capacity?What is the cost trend for memory, storage and CPU chips?Why would you want more memory on your next computer?Why would you want more storage on your next computer?
