4. Input An input device is any peripheral (piece of computer hardware equipment) used to provide data and control signals to an information processing system (such as a computer). Input andoutput devices make up the hardware interface between a computer as a scanner or 6DOF controller. A hardware device that sends information into the CPU. Without any input devices a computer would simply be a display device and not allow users to interact with it, much like a TV. Below is a listing of different types of computer input devices.
11. Storage A term used to describe any location where information can be held permanently or temporarily for later use. A computer commonly has two types of storage: internal and external. For example, an internal storage is a device such as a hard disk drive and an external / removable storage is a device such as a floppy disk drive.
