6. First Input Device
• There is no 100% sure info about first input
device but what I find is
• In the early 1950s, Robert Everett developed a
light gun to read the position of a dot on the
screen of the Whirlwind computer for diagnostic
purposes. From some source Robert was a
military agent and With the SAGE air defense
computer, he developed in 1956, the light gun
was identify aircraft of interest by selecting them
on the CRT.

8. Key Board
A key board is a human interface device which is represented
as a lay out of buttons and keys.
Early key boards
Qwerty
Punch cards
9. Punch cards
• Stiff paper having related links
terms
Which contains commands for
Controlling automated machine
To read and execute programs
• Punched cards were first used around 1725 by Basile
Bouchon and Jean-Baptiste Falcon (fr) as a more robust form of the
perforated paper rolls then in use for controlling textile looms in
France.
• Acc to some source first input device ever known
• Actually its input and output device
• Related terms and links are punched by the press/keypunch
machines (computers) on stiff paper which is output and computed
again for use in computers which is input method.
10. QWERTY
Consist of rectangular keys
Each key correspond to single
Written symbol
First introduced in in typewriters still
This pattern is used in current Key boards
13. Pointing And Drawing

27. Punch cards can be 1st output device invented
in 1725.
Calculators are also output devices Wilhelm
Schickard in1623 builds the first mechanical
calculator which could work six digits.
CRT monitor was the first computer monitor
in 1980.
First speaker was invented in 1st Jan 1876.
28. Types of monitors
Monochrome: Display two colors, one for the
background and one for the foreground.
Gray-Scale: A special type of monochrome monitor
capable of displaying different shades of gray.
Color: Can display anywhere from 16 to over 1 million
different colors. Sometimes called RGB monitors.
29. Early monitors
CRT monitors
• The first computer monitors used
cathode ray tubes (CRTs)
• Display was monochrome and less sharp.
• By the end of the 1980s color CRT monitors were
available.
• CRTs still offer some image quality advantages
over LCD displays
30. • Macintosh monitor
(1984) monochrome monitor.
Displayed in black and white
• Macintosh II
(1987)supported color video
• RGBMONITORS:
high-resolution, color Graphics
• Multisync monitors
supported a range of resolutions.
31. CRT Monitors
Advantages
• Color
– Most are capable of displaying unlimited colors.
• Resolution
– Multiple video Resolutions.
• Response Time
– Faster response time. Critical to people who play
games on their PC’s
Disadvantage.
– Takes much desktop space
32. LCD MONITORS
First LCD laptop monitors were very
small due to manufacturing costs.
Light, sleek, energy-efficient, have
sharp picture
Advantage
Space saving
Less Power Consumption and Radiation Emission
Cause less eyestrain
Does not flicker or glare
Available at comparable in screen size as traditional CRT
DISADVANTAGE
Need a plug interface to connect to the computer
33. Early printers
invented by Charles BABBAGE
The system consisted of series of
metal rods with characters
printed on them
stuck a roll of paper against the
rods to print the characters
34. Impact printers
Transfers ink to the media. A print head hits
the surface of the ink ribbon
• Teletypewriter-derived printers
Type box. Prints ten characters/s
• Daisy wheel printers.
Prints 30 characters/s
• DOT MAX Printer
• Line printers
35. Inkjet printer
• a resolution of 300dpi.
• extra-ordinary performance.
• Contains a series of nozzles
• operate by propelling variably
sized droplets of liquid ink onto
almost any sized page the ink is
forced to the paper through nozzles.
A matrix of dots forms characters and pictures.
36. Thermal printers
used in fax machines.
Thermal printers use heated pins
and ribbons with different color
bands. The ribbon passes in front
of a print head that has a series of
tiny heated pins. The pins cause the
wax to melt and adhere to the
paper and when temperature
reaches to a certain level, it is hardened.
37. Laser printers
high quality graphics images.
Resolution is 600 to 1200dpi.
Paper is fed and the drum
rotates.
A laser beam conveys
information
from the computer to a
rotating
mirror and thus an image is
created
The charges on the drum are ionized
and the toner sticks to the drum.
Toner is transferred from drum to paper.
39. Speakers
An output device from which
Sounds, music and audio from
Movies or any other program are heard
Speakers are connected
Internally OR
externally
40. Computer Speakers
Internally connected
Introduced by Altec Lansing in 1900
Small, plastic, mediocre sound quality
Low power internal amplifiers
Connected to computer sound cards
12mm in diameter 2-pin wire
41. Laptop Speakers
Laptops also come up with
Integrated speakers also produces
Low quality sound
These speakers vary widely in quality and price
42. USB ports speaker
They are connected externally
Can rock any party
Powered from5 volts allowing
About output of 2.5 and even more
watts
43. Headphones
A output hardware device that
Plugs into your computer or speaker
And allows you to privately listen to
Audio without disturbing any one.
110 decibel. loudness
44. Earphones
Basically tiny speakers to go
inside the ear
Crystal clear sound Quality
120 decibel. loudness
Safety Tip
No more than 60% volume
No more for 60 min.
47. PLOTTERS
The plotter is a computer printer for printing vector
graphics
A plotter gives a hard copy of the output. It draws
pictures on paper using a pen.
48. Early plotters
In the past, plotters were used in applications such as
computer-aided design, though they have been
replaced with wide-format conventional printers
traditional toner, plotters use a pen, pencil, marker, or
other writing tool to draw a design onto paper
49. Use of Plotters
plotters are considerably more expensive than printers.
They are used in engineering applications where
precision is mandatory.
A plotter is a computer hardware device much like a
printer that is used for printing vector graphics.
50. Types of Plotters
• FLATBED PLOTTERS: These hold the paper still while the pen moves.
• DRUM PLOTTERS: These roll a paper over a cylinder.
• PINCH ROLLER PLOTTERS: a mixture of above two
51. Projectors
• A device that projects computer output onto a
white or silver fabric screen that is wall, ceiling
or tripod mounted
• Used in classrooms auditoriums
slide presentations, to display movies.
52. Types of Projectors
• LCD(liquid crystal
display)
• Digital Light
Processing (DLP)
• liquid crystal on
silicon (LCOS)
Scanning devices read data or information from a physical source such as a written document, a price tag, or a picture.
Three basic types: optical -- text and image;
Barcode – wand readers and platform scanners;
Character mark recognition – special characters
The scanner record the light and dark areas as well as the color of the source document.
Flatbed scanners are like a copy machine. The source is place on top of the device to scan.
Portable scanners make direct contact with the source material and is dragged by hand across it.
The photoelectric scanners are usually wand readers(portable handheld scanner) or platform scanners (mounted to a platform like a counter).
UPC is a system by which every product is uniquely identified by manufacturer code and product code. Scanners read the UPC and lookup the item in a database to retrieve information, such as price.
