Input Input is the process of entering data, commands and instructions into the computer system for processing. This is done with the use of some devices called Input devices.
Input Devices An input device is a hardware that allows the computer user to enter data and instructions into the computer system. Examples: Mouse, Keyboard, Touchpad, Joystick, Touchscreen, Microphone, Digital Camera, Trackball, Light pen, Etc. These devices comes under four Categories of input.
Categories of Input • Keyboard Entry Devices • Pointing Devices • Source Data Entry Devices • Multimedia Input Devices
KEYBOARD ENTRY DEVICE This is the most important input device. This device is mainly used for typing, performing calculation on a computer or playing games. exit
POINTING DEVICES • This type of input is mainly used to move a pointer (cursor) on a screen. Pointing devices may also be used to select, drag, or double-click things. exit
Trackball Touchpad Light pen Touchscreen Joystick exit
SOURCE DATA ENTRY DEVICES These devices are used to collect data at the source and send it directly to the computer, thus eliminating the possibility human errors in data entry. These devices include: Optical Character Reader OCR, Barcode Reader, Magnetic Ink Character Reader (MICR), Optical Mark Reader, Scanner. exit
