computer process

1. Input

   • Keyboard- a device with letters and numbers as individual keys so you can type on a computer.
   • Mouse- adevice that rests on a table and can be moved freely around and moves a cursor and has clickable buttons.
   • Microphone-A device that turns sound waves into something that is stored electronically.
   • Touchscreen-A screen with added functionality in the sense that it can sense when you touch it.
   • Webcam-A small camera than can be built into or sit on top of a display.

2. Output

   • Speaker-Usually a pair of things that vibrate and move to turn electronic sound back into sound waves.
   • Monitor-A device that outputs light o form images for our eyes to see.
   • Printer-A device that receives wireless transmissions from a computer so it can output paper with ink on it.
   • 3D Printer-Like a normal printer but it can print 3d plastic objects.
   • Projector-A device that outputs light in a beam so it's size can be adjusted and shown on a wall.

3. Storage

   • Software
     • Browsers-Software that allows access to the internet.
     • Games-Used for entertainment .
   • Solid State Drive-The most portable and fast type of storage.
   • CD-The cheapest form of storage but not the largest there is.
   • magnetic hard drive A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive or fixed disk is a data storage device that uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve digital information using one or more rigid rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material.
     • LTO Magnetic tape is one of the oldest technologies for electronic data storage. Tape has largely been displaced as a primary and backup storage medium, but it remains well-suited for archiving because of its high capacity, low cost and long durability. It is a linear recording system that is not good for random access. If the tape is part of a library, robotic selection and loading of the right cartridge into a tape drive adds more latency. In an archive, such latencies are not an issue. With tape archiving, there is no online copy for quick retrieval, as everything is vaulted for the long term.
       • A floppy disk, also called a floppy, diskette, or just disk, is a type of disk storage composed of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular plastic enclosure lined with fabric that removes dust particles. Floppy disks are read and written by a floppy disk drive (FDD). Floppy disks, initially as 8-inch (200 mm) media[1] and later in 5¼-inch (133 mm) and 3½-inch (90 mm) sizes, were a ubiquitous form of data storage and exchange from the mid-1970s into the mid-2000s.[2] By the late 2000s, computers were rarely manufactured with installed floppy disk drives; 3½-inch floppy disks can be used with an external USB floppy disk drive, but USB drives for 5¼-inch, 8-inch, and non-standard diskettes are rare to non-existent. These formats are usually handled by older equipmen
