Information System -
collects, processes, stores, analyzes, and disseminates information for a specific
purpose
Moore's Law -
the observation that computing power roughly doubles every two years.
Neilson's Law -
states that a high-‐end user's connection speed grows by 50% per year
Kryder's Law -
the storage density on magnetic disks is increasing at an exponential rate
Bell's Law -
a new computer class forms roughly each decade establishing a new industry
Computer (CPU) -
(Central Processing Unit) The key component of a computer system, which
contains the circuitry necessary to interpret and execute program instructions
Computer RAM -
SHORT TERM/ temporary storage memory or random access memory
Fetch-Decode-Execute Cycle -
This is the process that all Stored Program Computers follow in order to run
instructions within the machine.
Instructions are stored within main memory as a combination of both instruction & data.
