Computers still have three basic parts: (1) processor, (2) memory, and (3) input\/output (I\/O). The latest addition to the I\/O is the camera.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This post is a little late – several years late, but better late…and so on.<\/p>\n

In the early 1970s, I was introduced to the computer. There were and still are three basic parts to a computer:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the processor<\/li>\n
  2. the memory<\/li>\n
  3. the input\/output or I\/O<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There have been many advances since that time long ago. The area with additions not just advances is the I\/O. New media types (remember the Zip drive cartridge and the 8″ floppy disk?) come and go.<\/p>\n

    Something that has come is the camera. If someone once said, “I want a new computer because it has a better camera,” we would have carted them away. A better camera? Computers don’t have cameras, do they?<\/p>\n

    Yes, computers have cameras.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Just last night I was sitting at a table at an event. The speaker gave everyone a piece of paper as a handout. (Yes, he is old.) We didn’t cover all the material on the piece of paper. He told us to hang onto the paper until next week.<\/p>\n

    Do what? Hang on to a piece of paper for a week?<\/p>\n

    I took a photo of the piece of paper with my pocket computer, a.k.a., my iPhone. Next week, or whenever, when we talk about the piece of paper, I will look at the image on my pocket computer.<\/p>\n

    That is all because one of the better I\/O devices for that computer is the camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
