Lecture last Tuesday: Introduction to Computing.

Input devices any data where any instruction is by use


the computer.
4 types of Keyboard
Traditional keyboard- 101 keys
-------Base from ASCII stands for American Standard
Code for Information Interchange.
Notebook keyboard-use by the laptop
Virtual keyboard- installed in cellphone and tablet
Thumb keyboard- handy keyboard. Use for gaming

Point devices- most natural of all human gesture.


Trackballs- control the pointer by rotating the ball
with your thumb.
Wheel buttons- that can be rotated to scroll
information that display in the monitor.
Optical mouse-is advance computer pointing device
that is use light
Touchpad- control the pointer by moving and
tapping of the fingers on the surface of the pad
Pointing stick-located in the middle in the keyboard,
control the pointer by directing the stick with one
finger
Touch screen-allow user to select action or
commands by touching the screen with the fingers
Game controller- are device that provide input to
computer games
--- joy stick
Dance pad- is an electronic game controller that use
by feet
Game pad- is design by 2 hand
Motion sensing devices-
Stylus-common use by tablets, PC, and PDA
Scanning devices-convert text and imagers into a
form that system unit can process
--optical scanner
Flat bed scanner- is like as copy machine
Document scanner-is similar to a flat bed scanner
except that it can quickly scan multi page documents
Portable scanner- is typically hand held device
Card reader-it interpret encoded formation
Bar code scanner-is usually found in grocery store
Universal product code (UPC)-almost all
supermarket use electronic cash register and a bar
code system called UPC
RFID reader- radio frequency identification it is a tiny
chip that can be embedded in most everything.

Character mark recognition devices


MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition)- it
usually uses in check
OCR (Optical Character recognition)- this are usually
uses in the department store.
OMR (optical mark recognition) – usually use in
examination

IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICES


Digital Camera- are similar to traditional cameras
except that the images are recorded digitally on a
disc or in the cameras memory.
Web Cam.- are specializes video cameras that
captures images and send them to computer for
broadcast over the internet.
Audio Input Devices
Voice recognition system- use a microphone

OUTPUT DEVICES- it a process data or information,


takes or typically graphics, photos or videos.
Types of output devices
Printer-
Monitor- most frequently use output device.
Features of monitor
Resolution- is the most important features
- It display everything.
PIXEL/ DOTPICt- is the distance between each
pixels
Contras ratio- it indicates a monitors to display color.
Active Display Area-Is measured by a diagonal
length of a monitor viewing area.
Aspect ratio-is determined by the width of a monitor
by its height.
Flat panel monitor – are the almost widely use type
monitor of the day
LCD/LiquidCrystalDisplay- is the technology used for
displays in notebook and other small computers.
TFTLC/Team Film transistor liquid crystal- which
each pixel is independently activated producing high
quality and energy efficiency image.
Amoled/active matrix organic light emitting diode-
Is a newer technology and its becoming widely used.

Electronic Books / E-book – are traditional printed


books in electronic format.
Other monitors
*digital/ interactive white boards- are specialized
with a large display connected to a computer or
projector.
*HDTV / High definition television – deliver a much
clearer and more detailed wide screen picture than a
regular television.
*CRT / cathode ray tube- similar in size and
technology to older television.
Printers- other than printers
Inkjet printers – spray ink at high speed on to the
surface of paper.
Laser printer- uses a technology similar to that use
on a photocopying machine.
Cloud printers- connected to the internet that
provides printing services on the internet.
Thermal printer- use it elements to provide images
on heat sensitive paper.
Plotters – are a special purpose printers for
producing a wide range of a specialized output.
Audio & video devices
Portable media – also know as digital media players,
are electronic devices for storing and playing digital
media.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Is a field of computer


science that attempts to develop computer system
that can mimic or stimulate human sense thought
processes, and actions.

Ergonomics- people use computers to enrich their


personal and private lifes.
Virtual Reality(VR)- is an artificial or stimulated,
reality created in 3-D by computers.
