What is an Input Device – Quoted from a book Information Systems and Information Technology by a person named Wing Wahyu Winarno, the device will enter or input device is a tool that functions to be able to enter data from outside the system into the computer system.
What is an Input Device
Incoming data will then be able to be transformed into information in the form of data or commands on computer devices. Input devices can usually be controlled directly by the user. The input devices can be classified into two groups, namely direct and indirect input devices. Direct input devices are devices that are intentionally used to be able to enter data directly into a computer system without needing to be translated by an operator. Therefore, the risk of errors occurring will be very small, and the input time is relatively faster, this is also useful for shortening the time. As the name implies, indirect input devices are devices that enter data from outside the computer indirectly. This means that the data needs to be read or typed in a manual way first, thus making the risk of errors relatively high.
Examples of Computer Input Devices
- Keyboards.
As you know from a long time ago, the partner of the LCD on the computer is the keyboard, this object serves to help us use the computer. It’s like typing a sentence.
- Mouse.
This object serves to help us in using the computer to make it easier. with this cursor can help computer users can direct to which part they want to input.
- microphone.
This object serves to help us when talking with other people, in a virtual way. The process is so if we are using this mic, the mic will work to record our voice and then convey it to the listener, through an object such as a speaker or headset.
- webcams.
This object serves as a tool for taking pictures, as well as a video image.
