Input Devices of a Computer
Input devices allow the users to send
signals to the computer to perform a
certain task.

The receiver at this end is the Central


Processing Unit (CPU) which then sends the
signal to the output devices.

Input devices further classify according to


modality like visual or audio, discrete or
continuous, and is it direct or indirect.

- 360-Degree Rotation: Allows screen rotation in all directions
for gaming and graphic design.

● Trackballs gained popularity in portable devices due to their


compact size.

● Users often prefer trackballs for perceived reliability over mice.

● Small size makes trackballs easy to carry and store, enhancing


their usability in portable computing.
Output Devices of a Computer
Output devices present processed data in various
forms like images, graphics, text, or audio.

They transmit data from computers to users or other


devices, facilitating communication.

Designed for human use, output devices transform


processed data into audio, video, or physical
reproductions.

Output devices play a crucial role in converting


processed data into understandable formats for

connected speakers.

● Laptop Integration: Built-in speakers common in


laptops, often near the keyboard.

● Volume Enhancement: External speakers used for


louder audio when built-in options are insufficient.

● Audio Improvement: External speakers enhance


sound quality and volume for improved computer
audio.

personal use rather than large areas like
grounds or parks.

● Due to their design, headphones are only


audible to the person using the device,
ensuring privacy in public spaces.
Projector
● Versatile Output Device: A multimedia projector, akin to a
magic wand, offers quick and diverse functionalities.

● Cinematic Projection: Enables a home theatre experience by
