Input Devices

An input device is a hardware or peripheral device used


to send data to a computer. An input device allows
users to communicate and feed instructions and data
to computers for processing, display, storage and/or
transmission.
KEYBOARD
Keyboard is the most common and
very popular input device which helps
to input data to the computer.

It translates numbers, letters,


symbols and control keys into signals
that can be interpreted by the PC.
MOUSE
Mouse is the most popular pointing device.
It is a cursor-control device having a
small palm size box with a round ball at its
base, which senses the movement of the
mouse and sends corresponding signals to
the CPU when the mouse buttons are
pressed.
SCANNER
A scanner is a peripheral device that
converts images, documents, or other physical
objects into digital data. Its task is to read
information from the surface of an object
and transform it into a digital form that a
computer can process.
TOUCHPAD
A touch pad is a device for pointing (controlling
input positioning) on a computer display screen.
It is an alternative to the mouse.
It is originally known as track pads.
A touch pad works by sensing the user's finger
movement and downward pressure.
Output Devices

Output devices are hardware devices that display or


present information to the user or other people.
MONITOR

to present output information in the
form of text, graphics, or video on
the monitor screen.

There are two kinds of monitor: LCD


monitor and the older CRT models
PRINTER
Printers are output devices that
are used to transfer digital
information to a physical medium,
most often paper.
The most popular printers are:
inkjet and laser.
SPEAKER
A speaker is an electroacoustic
device that converts an electrical
signal (sound) into sound waves
(acoustic) that the human ear can
hear. Speakers are commonly used in
audio equipment, computers,
televisions, sound systems and
musical instruments.
PLOTTER
A plotter is a device used to draw
or print vector images, technical
diagrams, maps, CAD (Computer-
Aided Design) drawings and large
graphics on various types of
materials such as paper, foil or
