    This document provides information about various computer input devices. It begins by explaining that input devices accept data and instructions from the user or other systems, and identifies two main types: keyboard entry and direct entry. Keyboard entry involves using a keyboard, while direct entry does not require data to be keyed in. Direct entry devices include pointing devices like mice and touchscreens, scanning devices like scanners and barcode readers, and voice input devices like microphones. Specific pointing devices discussed include mice, touchscreens, light pens, and digitizer tablets. The document concludes with two quizzes to test understanding of the different input devices covered, including keyboards, mice, scanners, microphones, and more.

    Lesson 1: Understanding the Computer System

    B. Input Devices - Accepts data and instructions from the user or from another
    computer system.

    Two (2) Types of Input Devices


    1. Keyboard Entry – Data is inputted to the computer through a keyboard.
    Keyboard - The first input device developed for the PC. Data is transferred to
    the PC over a short cable with a circular 6-pin Mini-din connector that plugs into
    the back of the motherboard.

    Figure 11. Keyboard


    2. Direct Entry – A form of input that does not require data to be keyed by
    someone sitting at a keyboard. Direct-entry devices create machine-readable data
    on paper, or magnetic media, or feed it directly into the computer’s CPU.

    Three Categories of Direct Entry Devices


    1. Pointing Devices - An input device used to move the pointer (cursor) on screen.
    •Mouse - The most common 'pointing device' used in PCs. Every mouse has
    two buttons and most have one or two scroll wheels.

    Figure 12. Mouse


    •Touch screen- A display screen that is sensitive to the touch of a finger or
    stylus. Used in myriad applications, including ATM machines, retail point-of-
    sale terminals, car navigation and industrial controls. The touch screen
    became wildly popular for smart phones and tablets.
    Figure 13. Touch Screen Devices
    •Light Pen - A light-sensitive stylus wired to a video terminal used to draw
    pictures or select menu options. The user brings the pen to the desired
    point on screen and presses the pen button to make contact.

    Figure 14. Light Pen


    Digitizer Tablet - A graphics drawing tablet used for sketching new images or
    tracing old ones. Also called a "graphics tablet," the user contacts the surface of
    the device with a wired or wireless pen or puck. Often mistakenly called a
    mouse, the puck is officially the "tablet cursor.“

    2. Scanning Devices- A device that can read text or illustrations printed on
    paper and translates the information into a form the computer can use.

    Figure 16. Image scanner Figure 17. Bar Code Reader


    3. Voice- Input Devices - Audio input devices also known as speech or voice
    recognition systems that allow a user to send audio signals to a computer for
    processing, recording, or carrying out commands. Audio input devices such as
    microphones allow users to speak to the computer in order to record a voice
    message or navigate software.
