5.3 Input/Output Systems
5.3 Input/Output Systems
Imagine your computer is a person who needs to talk to the world and take in information. How does it do that? It uses Input/Output (I/O) Systems. "Input" is how information and commands get into the computer. Think about typing on a keyboard, clicking a mouse, or using a microphone to record your voice. All of these are ways you give input to the computer.
"Output" is how the computer gives information back to you or to other devices. This includes seeing pictures and words on your screen, hearing music from your speakers, or printing a document on a printer.
The I/O system is like the computer's senses (for input) and its ways of communicating (for output). It's the bridge that lets you interact with your computer and lets your computer interact with other parts of the world. Without I/O, a computer would just be a very smart brain with no way to get information in or show you what it's thinking!
