Input, Output and Storage

Input:

Input devices are used to enter data into a computer system. Examples include keyboards, mice, touch screens, microphones, and cameras.
Each input device has a specific purpose and is most useful for certain types of tasks. For example, a keyboard is most practical for entering text, while a camera is best for capturing images or video.
Understanding how different input devices work is important when designing software or hardware, as the user interface should be designed to work smoothly with the appropriate input devices.

Output:

Output devices are used to present information from a computer system in a form that is understandable to humans (or sometimes to other machines). Examples include monitors, speakers, printers, and projectors.
Like input devices, each output device is designed for a specific purpose. For example, a monitor is designed to display visual information such as text, images, and video.
Developing software or hardware involves considering which output device(s) will be used and ensuring that they deliver information in a clear, efficient manner.

Storage:

Storage devices are used to keep digital information when it is not in use. This information can then be retrieved and used as necessary. Examples of storage devices include hard drives, solid state drives, and memory sticks.
There are different types of storage, including primary and secondary. Primary storage is located in or near the processor and stores information currently being used or about to be used by the processor. Secondary storage is used for long-term storage of information.
When deciding on the most suitable storage solution, considerations include the amount of data that needs to be stored, how quickly the data needs to be accessed, and concerns about data security or loss.
The management, structuring, and retrieval of data stored in a computer is vital. It requires understanding of various storage technologies, file systems, and how data is managed and organised by operating systems.
