INPUT AND OUTPUT DEVICES

Good evening to you my fellow bloggers and readers of my blog, Its been quite a while, I have been away on some other stuffs we need in order to upgrade in our services, I hope you weren't disappointed at my not posting for virtually a week today.

Just as I promised in the last post that I will be classifying those devices I mentioned into either INPUT, OUTPUT devices, that is what I will do for today.

First, lets define them in our own language:

Input Devices: These are devices that we use in sending data into the computer for processing. You can think of this as your body parts that sends signals to the brain e.g. eyes, tongue, nose among others. The same thing applies to the computer, the devices that we use to send data to the Central Processing Unit for processing, among them are:

Scanner

Keyboard

Joystick

Mouse

Camera

Output Devices: These are devices by which we receive output from the computer system after it has been processed. This also can be considered to be part of your body by which you receive signals from the brain (in the real sense of it). This can be your mouth – when you are been hit by a stick (shout), skin – reacting through sweat among others. While using the computer some of the devices that does the work of sending out the results of all processed works are classified as Output devices: Monitor – soft copy, Printers – Hard copies, Speakers – Audio…

That will be the few we shall be considering today
