Group Activity:
Prepare a written report about your group's assigned electronic device by answering
the following questions:
1. Is the device a part of a computer system? If yes, is it a computer peripheral?
How this device classified (input, output, etc.)?
 Yes, our device laptop is part of a computer system which is a battery-
powered computer that we can use anytime and wherever we go.
Laptop is also a computer peripheral because we can put and get
information out of it. Its input devices are keyboard where we can input
letters, numbers, and command from the user; touchpad which is
commonly built-in on laptop that allows us move and select options
from the screen; camera that can capture images and videos. The
output devices are monitor that display the information on the screen
such as text, graphics, and videos; speaker that allows us to hear the
sound and music.

2. Be able to defend (and convince) that your group’s assigned device is the
most indispensable among the other group’s electronic device.
 We think that our group’s assigned device is the most indispensable
among the other group’s electronic device especially nowadays as
most of us today work and study online. It is easy to use laptop as it is
a portable computer that can be moved wherever you want because it
has already keyboard, monitor, touchpad, and battery that can be used
with or without the power cord. It has a high storage capacity so we
can store as much as we want such as video lectures and lessons. It
has a bigger screen for us to be able to see images and text much
more. Also it allows us to do more things.

3. Can you identify devices/peripherals that can be both an output and input
device? Justify your answers.
 Devices/Peripherals that can be both an output and input device
 Touch screen monitor - uses a special touch sensitive screen.
The user can input data by touching icons or menus on the
screen. As soon as the user selects a command from menu,
output is displayed on screen.
 Modems - makes possible receiving data from internet into our
computer (input) and sending data from our computer to another
computer on internet (output).
 Headset - has a microphone for voice input and small speaker
phones for sound output.
 CD Writer / CD Recorder - is used to read data from CD (input)
and to write data to CD (output).
