Task 1

Show the following partial process as a flow diagram by filling in the boxes.

To begin the process, information in a specially coded form is fed into the input unit. Next it is ‘read' by a device which turns it into a series of electric impulses. The computer then 'writes' down this information, that is transfers it to a storage unit. After this, depending on whether the information is data or instructions, further stages take place.

(further stages)

When you write up a process in a text, it will normally be in natural time order i.e starting at the beginning of the process and continuing step by step to the end, as in the example above.
