Input devices send data to computers for processing, such as keyboards sending electrical signals as text input. Output devices receive processed data from computers and display it, such as monitors displaying text. The main differences are that input devices accept user data while output devices display processed data to the user, and input devices are more complex in design while output devices are less complex.

Input & Output devices
types and functions:
input device • An input device sends information to a computer system for processing. • Input devices only allow for input of data to a computer. • For example, a keyboard sends electrical signals, which are received as input. Those signals are then processed by the computer and displayed, or output, on the monitor as text or images. Input devices

board, scanner, printer joy stick etc. Out put device • An output device is a piece of computer hardware that receives data(Input) from an other device and then translates that data into another form. That form may be audio, visual, textual, or hard copy such as a printed document.
