Lets begin by taking a look at a typical computer users setup. The physical location of the computer is usually in a study, bedroom or is a laptop that is carried around. The users system would have some type of broadband internet connection(either DSL or Cable Modem). Input is usually provided by a keyboard and mouse, CD-ROM, maybe a digital camera and internet connection (music downloads). Processing is done by consumer programs such as Windows Imaging, iPhoto, microsoft office, iMovie or Windows Movie Maker and Kazaa. Output might consist of email attachments or burning of CD-R's and printing (documents, photos).
