How does computer software and hardware work together? This is kind of a complex question. I think the most important thing connecting software and hardware would probably be the register. Commands or services requested by the software are encoded into binary values of 0’s and 1’s and are written into a register. For example‚ some register may hold a value of "01101100". This encoding has a total of 8 bits. Each value of either 0 or 1 is called a bit‚ and 8 bits are called a byte. At the hardware

The Basic Computer Hardware Central Processing Unit: The central unit is the basic part of the computer and includes all the main computer parts. It is the heart of the computer system. It is responsible for executing‚ or running the software. The software programs are translated into a series of codes made up of 1s to 0s that the CPU can understand. Every code means a certain operation should take place. A CPU has various discrete units to help it in these tasks for example there is an arithmetic

Assignment 4: The Human-Computer Interface CIS- 106 Assignment 4: The Human-Computer Interface Haptic feedback‚ often referred to as simply "haptics"‚ is the use of the sense of touch in a user interface design to provide information to an end user. When referring to mobile phones and similar devices‚ this generally means the use of vibrations from the device’s vibration alarm to denote that a touchscreen button has been pressed. In this particular example‚ the phone would vibrate slightly

HINF 521 Usability Testing The “Human-Computer Interaction” (HCI) provides a foundation for assessing the effectiveness and acceptance of a computer system by the constituent users. The construct of human-computer interaction relative to usability examines how people and computers interact. Usability is concerned with the synergy of humans and computers. It is a multidimensional assessment addressing the following aspects of interaction: 1. Ease of use 2. Ease of learning 3.
