Input and output devices both play key roles in a computer, while one sends information into the computer and the other sends information out of the computer. Input devices, which send information to the computer, are key to the common functions of using the computer. The keyboard and mouse are two of the most important input devices. The keyboard and mouse are both items that can be Bluetooth or plugged into the computer through a USB cable. Since the keyboard is connected to the computer, it can directly send information into the computer and create words as we type. The mouse, which is also connected, is able to relay to the computer our movements as we move the mouse around, which is also very important when using a computer. Output devices, which send information out of the computer, are also important since they produce things like sound, and even the monitor we look at that shows us what we are doing is an output device. Input and output devices are both important to the computer, and make it work, but the clear difference between the two is the ability to send information into the computer through the input devices and receive information from the computer through the output devices.
