This guide explores the fundamentals of input and output devices, including keyboards, mice, printers, and digital cameras. Learn to identify various input devices such as mechanical and optical mice, and voice recognition technology, as well as output devices like inkjet and laser printers. Understand how devices connect to computers via USB, HDMI, and Ethernet, and the significance of features such as DPI in printers. The objective is to equip learners with the knowledge to describe and connect these essential peripherals.
