Information Processing Cycle Computers process data (input) into information (output). Computers carry out
processes using instructions, which are the steps that tell the computer how to perform a particular task. A collection of related instructions organized for a common purpose is referred to as software. A computer often holds data, information, and instructions in storage for future use. Some people refer to the series of input, process, output, and storage activities as the information processing cycle.
Most computers today communicate with other computers. As a result, communications also has become an essential element of the information processing cycle.
