What’s New

Lesson Parts of Computer, Input/output devices

2

The basic parts of a desktop computer are the computer case,

monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord. Each part plays an important
role whenever you use a computer.
Computer Input and Output Devices

3
The devices attached to a personal computer can be classified into two- the input and
output devices.
Input Devices:
Input devices allow the user to communicate with the computer by entering data or
commands.
➢ Keyboard – primary input device used to input alphanumeric data and
commands to the computer
➢ Mouse – primary input device used to navigate and interact with the monitor
output
➢ Scanner – scans documents and converts them digitally, which can be edited on
a computer.
➢ Webcam – small cameras attached to a monitor or desk that record or broadcast
video
➢ Joystick – device used to control video games, aside from the keyboard.

➢ Touch screen- A display screen that is sensitive to the touch of a finger or

stylus.
➢ A light-sensitive stylus wired to a video terminal used to draw pictures

➢ Digitizer Tablet - A graphics drawing tablet used for sketching new images or
tracing old ones.

➢ Voice- Input Devices - Audio input devices also known as speech or voice
recognition systems.

Output Devices:
Output devices enable the computer to show the processed data and information
understandably to the user.
➢ Computer Display Monitor- It displays information in visual form, using text
and graphics.

➢ LCD Projectors- utilize two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal
solution between them.

➢ Smart Board - A type of display screen that has a touch sensitive transparent
panel covering the screen, which is like a touch screen.

➢ Printer - A device that prints text or illustrations on paper.

3
➢ Speakers - Used to play sound. They may be built into the
system unit or connected with cables.
