INPUT DEVICE

PADDLE

1.More commonly known as a game paddle or gamepad, a paddle is an input device commonly used with games that may contain various buttons used to steer and utilize different opctions in a game.All console game systems utilize a paddle or gamepad for control.To the right is a picture and an example of a game paddle used with the Atari 2600. 2.The term paddle may also be used to describe various handheld devices that are capable of controlling a function on a computer or electronic devices.

STORAGE DEVICE
NCR CRAM
CRAM, or Card Random Acess Memory, Model 353-1 ,was a data storage device invented by NCR,with first appeared on thier model NCR-315 mainframe computer in 1962.A CRAM catridge contained 256 3x14 cards with a PET Film magnetic recording surface.Each Deck of cards could contain up to 5.5 MB of alphanumeric characters.The cards were ingeniously suspended from eight d-section rods,which were selectirely rotated to realease a specific card,each card having a unique pattern of notches at one end. The selected card was writen.Each catridge could store 5.5 MB.Later versions of the CRAM;353-2 and 353-3 used Decks of 512 card,thus dubling the storage capacity of each unit,The CRAM was also available on NCRS third generation NCR century 100 as the NCR/653 -100 .Each card contains seven tracks containing 1550 slabs each of them.Normally the tracks was initialized with a four slabs headed containing the catridge number (2),the card number and the tracks number.

OUTPUT DEVICE
MONITOR
1.Also called a video display terminal (VDT) a monitor is a video dispay screen and the hard shell that holds it.In its most

common usage, monitor refers only to devices that contain no electronic equipment other than what is essentially needed to dispay and adjust the characteristics of an image. Like most Tv,the computer monitor has a CRT (Cathod Ray Tube) that is found inside the picture to the right. The CRT is the main component and most expensive part within your computer monitor. *Additional information and help with computer monitors can be found here.

2.To view or watch over someone or something.

UNIT SYSTEM
COMPUTER DATA STORAGE

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, refers to computer components and recording media that retain digital data used for computing for some interval of time. Computer data storage provides one of the core functions of the modern computer, that of information retention. It is one of the fundamental components of all modern computers,and coupled with a central processing unit (CPU, a processor), implement s the basic computer model used since the 1940s. In contemporary usage,memory usually refers to a form of

semiconductor storage known as random-access memory, typically (DRAM Dynamic-RAM)but many times other forms of fast but temporary storage.Similary, storage today more commonly refers to storage

devices and their media not direcly accesible by the CPU (Secondary or teriary storage)- typically hard disk drives, optical disc drives,and other devices and other devices slower than RAM but more

permanent.Historically, memory has been called main memory,real storage or internal memory while storage devices have been referred to as secondary storage, external memory or auxiliary/peripheral storage.
