An input device is a hardware used to send data to a computer . input device allows users to communicate for processing , display , storage and transmission
SEVEN COMPUTER INPUT DEVICES THAT WE HAVE ARE AS FOLLOWS:
KEYBOARD
A computer keyboard is an input device used to enter characters and functions into the computer system by pressing buttons or keys.it is the primary device used to enter text. A keyboard is used to enter text . a keyboard typically contains keys for individual letters, numbers and …show more content…
TOUCHSCREEN
A touch screen is a computer display screen that is also an input device. The screens are sensitive to pressure , a user interacts with the computer by touching pictures or words on the screen. They are three types of touch screen technology which are resistive, surface wave and capacitive.
MICROPHONE
This is an input device that changes information from one form to another .sound information exists as patterns of air pressure .the microphone changes this information into patterns of electric …show more content…
Floppy disks are read and written by a floppy disk drive (FDD).A floppy disk is used to record information on. The information is stored on the floppy disk and can be used later or used on another computer. Disk drive
Disk drive is used for storing and retrieving digital information using rapidly rotating disks coated with magnetic material. An Disk drive retains its data even when powered off. Data is read in a random-access manner, meaning individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order rather than sequentially. An disk drive consists of one or more rigid rapidly rotating disks with magnetic heads arranged on a moving actuator arm to read and write data to the surfaces.A disk drive is used to record information from the computer onto a floppy disk or compact disk.
HEADPHONES
Headphones give sound output from the computer .they are similar to speakers ,except they are worn on the ears so only one person can hear the output at a
