Input and Output Devices: by Sharath M 102EE15062

Input devices such as keyboards and mice allow users to input data into a computer. Output devices like monitors and speakers allow the computer to output data for human consumption. Input/output devices like CD drives and USB flash drives can both input data into and output data from a computer, allowing for bidirectional data transfer.

WHAT IS A DEVICE ?
• It can be defined as the components or peripherals which are attached to the
computer to enter the data and get the desired result.
• Examples:- Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Printer, etc.,
• It consists of following types:
i. Input Devices.
ii. Output Devices.
iii. Input/Output Devices.
INPUT DEVICES
• An input device is a piece of computer hardware equipment used to
provide data and control signals to an information processing system such as
a computer or information appliance.
• Input device can read data and convert them to a form that a computer can
use.
• An input device can send data to another device, but it cannot receive data
from another device.
Examples of input devices
• Keyboard and Mouse - Accepts input from a user and sends that data
(input) to the computer. They cannot accept or reproduce information
(output) from the computer.
• Microphone - Receives sound generated by an input source, and sends that
sound to a computer.
• Webcam - Receives images generated by whatever it is pointed at (input) and
sends those images to a computer.
OUTPUT DEVICES
• An output device is any piece of computer hardware equipment which
converts information into human-readable form.
• It generates the output from the received data, but it cannot send data to
another device.
• Most computer output that is meant for humans is in the form of audio or
video
Examples of output devices
• Monitor - Receives data from a computer (output) and displays that
information as text and images for users to view.
• Projector - Receives data from a computer (output) and displays, or projects,
that information as text and images onto a surface, like a wall or a screen
• Speakers - Receives sound data from a computer and plays the sounds for
users to hear. It cannot accept sound generated by users and send that sound
to another device.
INPUT/OUTPUT DEVICES
• An input/output device is a hardware device that has the ability to accept
inputted, outputted or other processed data.
• It can also acquire respective media data as input and send to a computer or
send computer data to storage media as storage output.
• In an I/O device, the data is bi-directional, such devices are usually
categorized under storage or communications.
Examples of Input/Output devices
• CD-RW drive and DVD-RW drive - Receives data from a computer (input),
to copy onto a writable CD or DVD. Also, the drive sends data contained on
a CD or DVD (output) to a computer.

• USB Flash Drive - Receives, or saves, data from a computer (input). Also,
the drive sends data to a computer or another device (output).
