Abstract
Before we continue our study of the way in which an information-processing system is designed and implemented, we must spend some more time considering the various resources at the disposal of those concerned with the development of the system. It will be clear, from the foregoing examination of the computer, that an essential prerequisite to the machine-processing of data is its input to the computer system. This implies that the data has first been collected from its source and communicated in some way to the machine.
