Input and Output Devices
Data entry The process by which human-readable data is
converted into a machine-readable form. Data input
The process of transferring machine-readable data into the computer system.
Source data automation Capturing and editing data where the data is
originally created and in a form that can be directly input to a computer
Input Devices Input Devices accept data and instruction from
the user or from another computer system.
These are use to give command to the computer system.
To receive data and instructions in a form that can be understood by the computer.

Keyboard
It is a set of keys which are used to send the computer an interrupt request, telling the CPU to accept the keystroke.
The system software respond to interrupt by reading the code from keyboard buffer.
The system software passes the scan code to CPU.

Scanner Scanner can copy a printed page of text
or a graphic into the computer’s memory, freeing from creating the data from scratch.
The flatbed scanner is the most common in the offices.
Other type of scanner are – planetary scanners, digital camera scanners, 3D scanners, drum scanners etc.
MICROPHONE
A microphone, colloquially called a mic or mike (both pronounced /ˈmark/), is an acoustic-to-electric transducer or sensor that converts sound into an electrical signal.
In 1876, Emile Berliner invented the first microphone used as a telephone voice transmitter.
Microphones are used in many applications such as telephones, tape recorders, hearing aids, motion picture production, live and recorded audio engineering, in radio and television broadcasting and in computers for recording voice, VoIP, and for non-acoustic purposes such as ultrasonic checking.
WEBCAM
Webcam is the short form for web camera.
It us a type of input device which helps in taking photos and transferring them in the computer.
Webcams are used while having conferencing or having a photo chat.
OUTPUT DEVICES An output device is any piece of computer hardware
equipment used to communicate the results of data processing carried out by an information processing system (such as a computer) to the outside world.
In computing, input/output, or I/O, refers to the communication between an information processing system (such as a computer), and the outside world. Inputs are the signals or data sent to the system, and outputs are the signals or data sent by the system to the outside.
The most common input devices used by the computer are the keyboard and mouse. The keyboard allows the entry of textual information while the mouse allows the selection of a point on the screen by moving a screen cursor to the point and pressing a mouse button. The most common outputs are monitors and speakers.
