DATA is a collection of unprocessed items,including text, numbers, images, audio, and video.

INSTRUCTIONS are the commands given to the computer by user to process the data into information(output). Instructions

entered into the computer can be in the form of programs, commands, and user responses.

A user response is an instruction a user issues by replying to a question displayed by a program.

A response to the question instructs the program to perform certain actions. Assume the program asks the question, Is the time card correct? If you answer Yes, the program processes the time card. If you answer No, the program gives you the opportunity to modify the time card entries.

Using a Mouse

• Windows users work with a mouse that has at least two buttons. For a right-handed user, the left button usually is the primary mouse button, and the right mouse button is the secondary mouse button. Left-handed people, however, can reverse the function of these buttons.

• Some programs also use keys in combination with the mouse to perform certain actions.

For example, when you hold down the ctrl key while rolling the wheel, text on the screen becomes larger or smaller based on the direction you roll the wheel. The function of the mouse buttons and the wheel varies depending on the program.
