4. Input Devices
Input devices are parts of a computer that allow
the user to control and adjust an electronic device.
For example: You move the mouse. As the mouse
moves, the computer receives the information,
which causes the pointer on the screen to move.
The mouse is the input device.

5. Output Devices
Output devices are the computers way of
interacting with you. In paint, when you use your
mouse to draw a line, that is input. When the
computer receives the message, it displays the line
that you drew on screen, that is the output. The
monitor is the output device.
