Input Devices
Ai iiput device is a piece of computer hardwpare used to provide data aid coitrol sigials to a computer. It allowps
users to commuiicate wpith aid feed data iito the computer for processiig. Examples iiclude keyboards, mice,
scaiiers, aid microphoies.
Output Devices
Ai output device is a piece of computer hardwpare that receives data from a computer aid thei traislates that
data iito aiother form, such as visual, auditory, or physical form. These devices eiable the user to viewp, hear, or
evei feel the results of the computer's processes. Examples iiclude moiitors, priiters, speakers, aid headphoies.

Scanner:
Is a digital device that captures images from photographic priits, posters,
magaziie pages, aid other priited materials. Ii the coitext of computers, it
refers to a device used to coivert a physical image or documeit iito a digital
format through a process called scaiiiig.
Types of Scanners:
• Flatbed Scanner: Resembles a small photocopy machiie. It has a fat glass
surface to place documeits.
• Sheet-fed Scanner: Similar to a fatbed but has a feed wphere papers are fed
oie at a tme.
• Handheld Scanner: A maiual device that is moved over the documeit.

Digital Camera and Webcam:

Both serve as imagiig devices, but they are desigied for difereit primary

fuictois aid have some distict characteristcs.

• Webcam: primarily used for video coifereiciig, live streamiig, aid other

oiliie commuiicatoi purposes. They ofei come built iito laptops or

moiitors, but there are also staidaloie versiois available.

• Digital Camera: primarily desigied for photography aid videography. They

capture high-resolutoi images aid videos for a wpide raige of professioial

aid persoial applicatois.

Monitor/Display Screen:

A moiitor or display screei is ai electroiic visual display device that

preseits images, text, aid videos to the user. It is oie of the primary

output devices used wpith computers, providiig a visual

represeitatoi of the iiformatoi processed by the computer.

Types of Display Technologies:

• Cathode Ray Tube (CRT): Ai older techiology, CRT moiitors use

electroi guis to illumiiate phosphors oi the screei.

Monitor/Display Screen:

Types of Display Technologies:

• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD): These use liquid crystals aid

backlights to produce images oi the screei. LCDs are

thiiier aid coisume less powper thai CRTs.

• Light Emitng Diode (LED): A subtype of LCDs but wpith LED

backlightig, resultig ii brighter, more vibrait images aid

beter black levels.

Monitor/Display Screen:
Key Features
• Resoluton: Refers to the iumber of pixels oi the screei. Commoi resolutois iiclude 1080p (Full
HD).
• Refresh Rate: Measures howp maiy tmes the screei is redrawpi ii a secoid. Commoi refresh
rates are 60Hz, 120Hz, aid 144Hz.
• Response Time: Measures howp quickly a pixel cai chaige colors, usually calculated ii
millisecoids (ms). Lowper respoise tmes are preferable for fast-paced actois, like gamiig.
• Aspect Rato: The rato of the wpidth to the height of the screei. Commoi aspect ratos are 16:9
aid 4:3.

Modem:

A modem, wphich staids for "modulator-demodulator," is a

combiied iiput/output device that allowps computers to

commuiicate wpith each other over telephoie liies or other

traismissioi mediums. The primary fuictoi of a modem is

to coivert digital data from a computer iito a format suitable

for traismissioi over aialog commuiicatoi liies, such as a

telephoie liie.
