Tutorial: Computer Overview.

1. Any computer system, large or small, can be represented by the four elements of an
IPO model. Draw an IPO model; clearly label each of the four elements in your
drawing.

2. One way to view an information technology system is to consider an IT system as


consisting of four major components or building blocks. Explain what are the four
components of an IT system?

Hardware, software, data and communication.


Hardware- Physical components that execute instructions
Software- Systems or programs that provide instructions
Data- raw facts
Communication- connection between hardware and software system in order to
process data

3. There are protocols that are not standards and standards that are not protocols. With
the help of a dictionary, identify the differences between the definition of protocol and
the definition of standard; then, identify a specific example of a standard that is not a
protocol; identify a specific example of a protocol that is not a standard.
