DEVICE Computers take information, move it, save it, and do a lot more. Devices are equipment connected to the computer so that you can put information in and get it out again. Device include: YOUR TERMINAL (screen and keyboard) A PRINTER A DISC DRIVE or MAGNETIC TAPE DRIVE How many terminals are attached to the computer you are using? How many disc drives? You don't have to know. But the computer does. The solution is to give names (and sometimes numbers) to all the devices your computer uses. The names might seem a little odd at first. To have something printed, you have to know the name of what you want printed and the name of the device on which you wanted it printed. PressBack to Main Index
