Chapter 18. Input/Output > Common I/O Devices

Common I/O Devices

So what is a “common” I/O device? I’m hoping you immediately thought of the mouse and the keyboard, two of the most basic, necessary, and abused I/O devices on a computer. Another fairly common input device that’s been around a long time is the scanner. To these oldsters, you can add relative newcomers to the world of common devices: digital cameras and Web cameras.

Note

If you want to get picky, these five common I/O devices enable a user only to input data; they don’t provide any output at all.
