Input devices such as keyboards, mice, and microphones are used to input data into a computer. Output devices like monitors, printers, and speakers are used to output or display the data from the computer. Input devices take information and feed it into the computer while output devices share what the computer produces. Common input devices include keyboards, mice, joysticks, digital cameras, and microphones. Common output devices are monitors, printers, speakers, and plotters.
