INPUT & OUTPUT DEVICE

1 An input device is any hardware device that sends data to a computer, allowing you to interact with
and control it. The most commonly used or primary input devices on a computer are the keyboard and
mouse. However, there are dozens of other devices that can also be used to input data into the
computer. Monitors and printers are two of the most commonly-known output devices used with a
computer.
a) State one (1) input device except mentioned at description above. Explain the function input device
mentioned in above

• Pen Input
• that is input by writing, drawing or tapping on the screen with a pen-like device called
a stylus.
• Voice Input
• device that inputting spoken words and converting them to digital form – is typically
performed via a microphone or headset
• Biometric Input
• An input device that used technology of authenticating a person’s identity by verifying a
personal characteristic such as Fingerprint reader

b) State one (1) function of the output device below

• It able to produce hard copy; that

is a permanent copy of the output
on the paper.
