2. Introduction
Introduction
Computers interact with users
and other systems through
input and output devices.
These devices enable
communication by allowing
users to input data and receive
output in various formats.
3. Input Devices
Input Devices
Input devices are hardware
components that allow users
to enter data and commands
into a computer system.
These devices act as a bridge
between the user and the
computer, enabling
interaction and
communication.
4. Output Devices
Output Devices
Output devices are hardware
components that receive
data from a computer and
convert it into a form that
users can understand, such
as visual, audio, or printed
output. These devices display
or present the results of a
computer’s processing.

Input Devices:
• Used to enter data and
commands into a computer
Output Devices:
• Used to display, print, or present
processed data..
Input Devices:
• Transfers data into the system
for processing.
Output Devices:
•Transfers data out of the
system in a userfriendly format.
Input Devices:
•Examples: Keyboard, Mouse,
Scanner, Microphone, Joystick.
Output Devices:
• Examples: Monitor, Printer,
Speaker, Projector, Headphones.
6. • Can Be Peripheral Devices –
Many input and output
devices are external
peripherals, such as
keyboards, printers, and
monitors, which enhance the
computer’s functionality.
• Work Together for
Functionality – Some devices
serve both as input and
output devices, like
touchscreens (input via
touch, output via display) and
speakers with microphones
(input through the mic,
output through the speaker).
• Hardware Components –
Both input and output
devices are external or
built-in hardware
components that facilitate
interaction between the
user and the computer.
• Essential for
Communication – Input
devices send data into
the computer, while
output devices present
processed data, making
them essential for user-
computer interaction.
• Connected to the
Computer – Both types of
devices are connected to
the computer via wired
(USB, HDMI, etc.) or
wireless (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi)
connections.
