Can someone describe the information processing cycle in computers in a few words?

We are studying the information processing cycle in my computers class and i need a brief description on how it operates from when you turn the computer on to when you finish printing a document and shut it down. I would appreciate it if somebody helped me out.

I cant exactly answer in a few words. First when you turn your computer on it goes through it's post. That is when it checks out all of the hardware inside to ensure it is working properly. You have probably at least seen the RAM count on your screen. that is part of the post. Then your bootsrap loader loads the operating system files stored on your hard drive. Once inside your operating system you generally use RAM and Storage (Hard Drive) to run programs. The difference between the two is Storage stores programs and RAM allows you to alter any given program. For example... When you start Microsoft Word your computer must go into your hard drive and pull up the files to run the program. Once you are typing in a document you are using RAM. It allows you to minipulate the document and record your changes accordingly. Shutting down is a matter of just turning off your computer. That is the best short answer I can provide. If you want more info than that I would suggest taking An A+ course.
