1. Data being accessed randomly, semiconductor memories are called random access memory (RAM). 2. The information capacity of a single bit being limited to two alternatives, codes are based on combination of bits. 3. Primary storage having similarity to a function of the human brain, the storage is also called mem­ory. 4. An electron leaving the surface, the metal becomes pos­itively charged. 5. Computer system architecture being organized around the primary storage unit, all instructions must pass through it. 6. Computer system architecture is organized around the primary storage unit, all instructions passing through it.

7. Electromechanical memories depend upon moving mechan-


ical parts, their data access time being longer than is that of elec­tronic memories. 8. For this reason most computer systems use electronic memory for primary storage, electromechanical mem­ory being used for secondary storage. 9. Large capacity tape de­vices are used with large data processing systems, cassettes and cartridges being applied with small systems. 10. The CPU con­trols the operation of the entire system, commands being issued to other parts of the system.
