5. Keyboard Modem Scanner Mouse Input Hardware Storage: Hard Drive CD-ROM Floppy drive Flash drive Memory

6. Microprocessor INPUT Hardware Put something into the computer Keyboard Storage: Hard Drive CD-ROM Memory Floppy drive Modem System bus Scanner This is where all the thinking is done inside the computer Mouse System Bus Data Movement through a computer

7. Output Hardware Storage: Hard drive Memory Floppy drive Flash drive Printer Monitor Sound Modem

8. Microprocessor INPUT Hardware Give something to the computer Keyboard Storage: Hard Drive CD-ROM Memory Floppy drive Modem System bus Scanner This is where all the thinking is done inside the computer Mouse Output Hardware System Bus Data Movement through a computer The computer gives you something Printer Monitor Sound Modem Storage: Hard drive Memory Floppy drive

9. Information moves through the computer Input Input, You put something into the computer Process Then you process the data, think about it Output the data, the computer gives you something Output
