+'''Year 2'''
-von Neumann Architecture is a type of computer architecture, based on the design created by John von Neumann in 1945.
-Computer systems that use von Neumann Architecture contain three main components; the central processing unit (CPU), memory, and input/output devices (I/O), which are all connected together using the system bus.

-The memory stores the information (data/program).
-The processing unit handles computation/processing of information.
-The Input receives the information from input devices such as mouse and keyboard.
-The Output sends information out to devices such as the monitor or printer.
-The Control unit endures that the other components are performing their tasks correctly.
