Introduction
Input, which is data or instructions, must be entered into the computer and then stored on a storage media device.
To turn the data into information, the CPU process the data.
After data is processed, it is “presented” to the user through an output device.

Connecting Input and Output Devices to the Computer
Ports and Connectors:A port, or jack, is an interface to which a peripheral device attaches to or communicates with the system unit.
Besides traditional, FireWire, and USB ports, special-purpose ports include SCSI, IrDA, and Bluetooth.

Connecting Input and Output Devices to the Computer (continued)
Hardware Installation:For most hardware devices to work, they need a set of instructions that communicates with the computer’s operating system, called a driver.
If the operating system already contains the driver, it performs an automatic plug-and-play installation for newly connected devices.

Computer Performance Factors
A variety of factors affect a computer’s performance: Microprocessor: The higher the generation, the faster and better the processing speed.
Random access memory (RAM): Helps increase the processing cycle and enhance performance.Hard disk: Bigger and faster process data faster.Video: Can enhance or slow down performance.

Summary
In this lesson, you learned:Input devices enable you to input data and commands into the computer. The most common input devices are the keyboard and mouse.Other types of input devices include the trackball, joystick, wheel, pointing stick, graphics tablet, touch display screen,
stylus, voice recognition devices, touchpad, scanner, digital
camera, video input, and biometric input.

Summary (continued)
Input and output devices must be connected to the computer. Some input and output devices communicate with the computer through a physical connection. Wireless devices communicate with the computer through infrared or radio waves.Peripheral devices are connected to the computer through serial, parallel, and Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports. USB is a newer standard expected to replace serial and parallel ports.

Summary (continued)FireWire is a type of external bus that can connect up to 63 external devices.
SCSI, IrDA, and Bluetooth are special-purpose ports.A computer’s performance is affected by the speed of the processor, the amount of RAM, hard disk size and speed, capability of monitor, and disk organization.
