Computer Devices and Peripherals

Input and output devices allow users to interact with computers. Key input devices include keyboards for typing and pointing devices like mice and touchscreens for navigation. Scanning devices can digitize text and images, while voice input devices allow spoken commands. Common output displays are computer monitors, but other peripherals present information through printers and speakers. Together, these input/output components facilitate data entry, processing, and sharing on personal computers.
