   • Sensitive touchscreen
     • Works by a electric circuit that conducts electrodes separated by an insulated gap.
   • Scanner
     • Works by the light passing through the scanner lens and reaches the CCD sensors.
   • Optical pen
     • Works by electric circuits.
   • Camera
     • Works by a lightproof box that lets in a little bit of light at the right time.
   • Joystick
     • Works by taking something entirely physical, then translating it into something entirely mathematical.
   • Track ball
     • Work by using a optical sensor to read the movements of the dots.

2. Storage devices
