Input and Output Devices

What is the primary function of an input device?

• To play music

• To cook food

• To provide data and control signals to a computer for processing.

• To clean the screen

Give an example of an input device.

• Mouse

• Headphones

• Keyboard

• Monitor

Explain the role of an output device.

• Output devices are used to store data on a computer.

• Output devices are responsible for processing data in a computer system.

• The role of an output device is to display or present data from a computer to the user.

• The role of an output device is to input data into a computer.

Name a common output device found in most computers.

• monitor

• headphones

Differentiate between input and output devices.

• Input devices are only used for gaming, while output devices are used for work.

• Input devices are for inputting data, while output devices are for outputting data.

• Input devices are wireless, while output devices are wired.

• Input devices are for outputting data, while output devices are for inputting data.

How does a printer function as an output device?

• A printer functions as an output device by projecting holographic images

• A printer functions as an output device by converting data into sound waves

• A printer functions as an output device by receiving digital data from a computer or other device, interpreting the data, and then physically printing it onto paper or other media.

• A printer functions as an output device by sending data to the moon for printing

Why are input devices essential for a computer system?

• Input devices prevent users from interacting with the computer system.

• Input devices have no impact on the functionality of a computer system.

• Input devices are only used for outputting data from the computer system.

• Input devices enable users to input data and commands into the computer system.

Discuss the importance of output devices in daily life.

• Output devices are crucial as they allow users to interact with the information processed by computers through visual, auditory, or tactile feedback.

• Output devices are obsolete in modern technology.

• Output devices have no impact on daily tasks.

• Output devices are only used for entertainment purposes.

• Scanner

• Touchpad

Describe the interaction between input and output devices in a computer system.

• Input devices provide data to the computer system, which processes the information and sends it to output devices for display or further action.

• Output devices are responsible for processing data before sending it to input devices.

• Input devices directly display information on the screen without involving the computer system.

• Output devices provide data to the computer system, which processes the information and sends it to input devices for display or further action.
