2. Components of the Von Neumann Model

  1. Memory: Storage of information (data/program)

  2. Processing Unit: Computation/Processing of Information

  3. Input: Means of getting information into the computer. e.g. keyboard, mouse

  4. Output: Means of getting information out of the computer. e.g. printer, monitor

  5. Control Unit: Makes sure that all the other parts perform their tasks correctly and at the correct time.
