Devices
  1. Input
    1. Mouse
      1. Joystck
        1. Scanner
          1. A scanner scans things for you and inputs your information.
          2. A computer mouse is an input device that is most often used with a personal computer. In 1964 Douglas Engelbart (1925-2013), a researcher at Stanford Research Institute, wanted to find a way to make using computers easier. In those days, computers were large and expensive. Using them was very hard because everything had to be typed in by hand, and there was no way to alter things if you made a mistake. Most mice also have a "scroll wheel"—a small wheel found between the two main mouse buttons. The user can move the wheel back and forth to "scroll" through things like a website or folder.
          3. KeyBoard
            1. A keyboard Is used mainly to insert characters on a monitor or to simply type. When you press on a key, it sends a signal to the computer which appears on the monitor. There is a rubber Dome underneath the key is, this is what sends the signal to the computer when the keys are pressed down.
            2. Microphone
              1. A microphone is used to input your voice into a device.
              2. Camera
                1. You use a camera to take photos which you can connect to a computer and print or you can just leave them on there. The word camera comes from camera obscura, which means "dark chamber" and is the Latin name of the original device that was used back then to take a sort of photos and videos. The modern photographic camera evolved from the camera obscura. The functioning of the camera is very similar to the functioning of the human eye. This means when we look through a camera lense it is as if we are just looking through our own eyes because of how similar they are.

                                1. 3D Printers are output because they output the plastic that has been used to create your 3D object. You can print an array of things such as: clock pieces, shoes, phone cases and your own fabric for clothes and furniture. You can even create games such as: Monopoly and Jenga.

                                        1. A Heart Rate Monitor measures your heart rate. It uses electrodes to measure your heart rate.It is usually found in hospitals and Dr’s room.I can make your heart beat faster or slower.
