                   Look at the image and identify the different types of computers being used.




























                  When you use a computer, it helps you do different things. You can play games,
                  draw pictures and learn new things. But how does the computer know what to

                  do? The IPO cycle helps the computer. The IPO cycle makes sure the computer
                  works properly.






                          IPO CYCLE


                  When you are hungry and want to make a sandwich, you follow these steps:















                               INPUT                           PROCESS                           OUTPUT

                   The ingredients to make a        The cooking is the PROCESS.       A ready-to-eat sandwich is
                   sandwich are the INPUT.                                            the OUTPUT.

                  The whole task follows the IPO cycle.


                  The same concept applies to a computer system as well.
