The Diskette is a magnetic storage Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 1.44 MB Write Protect tab Read only Or Read and write

The Zip Disk uses magnetic material too! Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 250 MB

The Hard Disk Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 160 / 320 / 500 GB Or even 1TB! (TeraByte)

The CD-ROM Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 700 MB

The DVD Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 4.7GB

The USB Flash Memory / Thumbdrive Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 2 or 4 GB

Units to Measure Computer Data The smallest unit for data is bit. 1 bit stores only 2 values These 2 values are “1” or “0” “1” and “0” are called the Binary Code Computers store data using the binary numbers ( 1s or 0s). Binary code is the system of representing text or computer processor instructions by using "0" and "1".

More Programs Running, More Main Memory? Demonstration for use of CPU and use of main memory Press CTRL+ALT+DEL > Choose Task Manager. Start to open 1 program at a time. What do you observe? Answer: WB P10 Q3 The CPU’s usage increases for a while before it drops. Then the memory usage increases. The amount of memory used by a program increases with the program’s activity The amount of memory used increases with more programs being opened.

Let’s find 2 software from > Downloads 1.You do not need to install/download software. 2.Find a software that you like. 3.Click on it. 4.Find out how much storage space is required. 5.Jot down the software name and its required space on WB P Repeat these steps to obtain one more software. 7.Which software takes up more space? 8.Circle the storage space that is higher.

How do you know how much disk space you have used? At My Computer, Right-click on C:\
