form, the computer was already making use of input devices - the keyboard was the input device, while the monitor represented the output device.
More than 30 years later, things have changed. Computers these days come with a variety of input and output devices. In this paper, well see what devices work
well with a computer. Contrary to popular belief, monitors are not part of computers - computers consist of boxes, called "central processing units," or CPUs. Everything else plugging into that
CPU - the peripherals, as theyre called, are the input and output devices. The question well attempt to answer in this paper is what input and output devices make the
most sense on a computer. Before discussing this, however, definitions of both input and output devices are in order. Input devices are
used for putting things, like information, INTO a computer (Tiscali References). This can include, but isnt limited to keyboards (as mentioned above, mice, touch screens, scanners, light pens, scanners, graphics
tablets, vision systems and recognition devices (Tiscali References). Keyboards, perhaps unsurprisingly, are the most frequently used input devices, and they enter data and information via keys (Tiscali References). On the
other end of the spectrum is the graphics tablet, an input device, complete with stylus, that allows the mover to move the cursor, by hand, over a flat surface (Tiscali
References). Other examples of input device include trackballs, digital cameras and microphones, as well as touch screens (Haynes). If input devices
are used to feed information into the data portion of the computer, then output devices allow the user to obtain that data in the form that is readable (University of
