Input and Output Devices

Picture

Besides the basic parts of a computer, there are different devices that we can use to input or output information into the computer.


An input device is a hardware or peripheral device used to send data to a computer. It allows users to communicate and feed instructions and data to computers for processing, display, storage, and/or transmission. (technopedia.com)

An output device is any device used to send data from a computer to another device or user. Most computer data output that is meant for humans is in the form of audio or video. Examples include monitors, projectors, speakers, headphones, and printers. (technopedia.com)
