The document summarizes how information flows through a computer from input to output, going through memory, the microprocessor, and its fetch, decode, and execute steps. It then outlines predictions for computers of the future, including pivoting screens, holographic keyboards, finger-worn mice with sensors, touchscreen laptops with webcams and disc drives on top, sliding keyboards, and small wrap-around keyboards.
5. Microprocessor Next, the information is sent to the microprocessor where it goes through three steps Information
6. Fetch The first step, fetch, is where fetch gets the information. Information
7. Decode Next, fetch sends the information to decode, where decode figures out which action needs to be carried out Information Information
8. Execute After decode figures out what action needs to happen, it send the information to execute, where the action happens. Information Information Information Information
9. Output Lastly, the information is ejected through the output.
