Study Notes
Types of Computer Hardware and Input/Output Devices
- A computer's memory or storage is where data is stored for later use and where programs are held while being used.
- Input devices are used to input information into the computer, such as keyboards, mice, cameras, microphones, and touchscreens.
- Output devices are used to retrieve information from the computer, including monitors, speakers, headphones, and touchscreens.
- Input and output devices can be adapted for people with disabilities, such as using foot pedals instead of a mouse or using cameras to track eye movements.
- All computers have four types of hardware: memory/storage, input devices, output devices, and processing units.
- Memory/storage is used to store data and programs.
- Input devices allow users to input information into the computer.
- Output devices allow users to retrieve information from the computer.
- Input and output devices can be customized for individuals with disabilities.
- Examples of input devices include keyboards, mice, cameras, microphones, and touchscreens.
- Examples of output devices include monitors, speakers, headphones, and touchscreens.
- Adaptive technologies can be used to make input and output devices more accessible for people with disabilities.
