Introduction
I do not know much what an input device is even I have been using computer for many years. I thought that an input device is just a component inside the computer. I also did not know the role of input device play. I am among those people who do not care much about the component inside the computer. Now as I reflect, seems like I have ignored the importance of an input device.
What is input?
Input is really important for the computer. Through this device, users are allows to enter data or instructions into a computer. It changed something on the screen through the response. There are many kinds of input device for users to select depending on their application to get the result they want. There are many input technologies, for example, keyboard, pointing device, trackball, touch screen, touchpads and audio input. These devices can help users to connect with computer system directly.
Keyboard
Keyboard is a one important input device. It is rectangular size. It also contains many keys including numeric keypad, letter of alphabet, punctuation marks and others. Without using this input device, user cannot type text and number into a computer easily. This is only for general keyboard. There are also many kind of keyboard for their function. Gaming keyboard is special design for the person who likes to play games or game maker. The gaming keyboard has its own special programmable keys. Nowadays, world is being more advanced. They also design ergonomic keyboard. This design is special for the employees who always sitting in front of the computer. This design can prevent muscle pain which can lead to long-term disability. It is really comfortable. In addition, keyboard also can be found in laptop. It is different from the d...

...of input device. As I read and reflect on the vast and varieties of input devices, I now realised its importance of mankind as it brings enormous advantages to us. As a conclusion, input device is a part of computer hardware. It allows users to enter and give instruction to be able in process into the computer system. An input device has improved so much with time. It is substantial to say that people of this generation cannot live without those input device. Input device have not only made our life easier but it also helps in easing our financial and time. For example, the innovation of recent popular application, Wechat. This application is designed for those who are illiterate. People can just touch the ‘hold to talk’ button and says the word out. Then, release the button, the device will record down your voice and sent it out. This will be much easier for them.
Tsinghus University editorial department I enjoying working work with computers. I like the keyboard’s noise. Because the louder noise it makes the better touch it has. The physical aspects of manipulating the keyboard and the visual depictions on the screen fit right into my preferred learning style. This learning style reflects on my normal studying.
The foundation of a keyboarding class sets students up for success by introducing essential concepts, computing, and proper typing technique. Subsequently, other necessary fundamental programs are presented such as Microsoft Office applications to create business envelopes and letters, academic and business reports, tables and other related documents. It also provides an understanding of privacy and security setting (Doc, n.d.). Some universal concepts taught in keyboarding include key memorization, software literacy, typing with speed and accuracy, home row familiarity, specialty keys and numerical
Technology is something that seems to bring people together, but in reality can bring people farther away when technology not optimized for certain groups. Many groups are left out of new technology, especially the deaf and elderly. These groups deserve technology just as much as people the technology is originally geared towards. Technology is meant to bring people closer together not isolate groups from each other. However, despite the technology not being fully optimized for these groups, it has had some advances in the past years.
Technology is very important tool for advancement of human life. We can utilize technology to help us in everyday life, but it can also do the opposite than what it is supposed to do. Laptops and phones have become a very important part of our lives in past decades. Now we can easily get hold of our loved ones and deliver important news within seconds and share our experiences with online social sites with family and friends. All these media tools are used to unite us with our world, but we are also being disconnected within ourselves.
Working thesis: The advancements in technology have caused the social norms of society to adapt to its rapid change, by becoming captivated to its simple access; which is effecting the way we communicate and act.
The limitation of human contact due to the use of technology has had a negative affect on lives. People are constantly relying on technology without realizing that it leads to distracted driving, loss of jobs, and less attentive children. Everyday, innocent lives are taken due to fatal accidents involving the use of technology. Distracted driving is the number one reason why people should not focus completely on devices. Before technology had a huge affect on lives, people mainly focused on communication. It can be the easiest way to personally talk to someone, but technology provides shortcuts and saves more time throughout the day. The dependence of technology has led many to rely mainly on devices, leading to isolation from the real
Hardware that includes all the physical elements related to a computer system. It interacts with CPU, memory and input and output devices.
The purpose of this experiment was to find out which of the two typing methods is the most efficient; touch or combined. An observation made about the topic is that the touch-typing method is very common and favored because it is based on muscle memory and helps the person’s health. The combined typing method is just a person’s own way of typing or an alternative if they dislike touch-typing. Touch-typing is just placing fingers on the home row keys (asdf, jkl;) and the finger closes to the key is the finger used to strike it. Typing with one hand, two fingers, or having two hands on the keyboard with no specific place to set your fingers is classified as the combined typing method. The combined typing method is also based on muscle memory, but not as effective as the touch-typing method. In conclusion, the need to look at the keyboard gradually decreases for both methods.
Computer hardware: With the on-going developments in the field of computer system design and architecture, peripherals and processors, hardware helps computing merge seamlessly into our lives. With primary memory capacity reaching up to more than 64 Gigabits, to high resolution LED-displays; hardware accommodates the ever increasing needs of ubiquitous computing.
People today use technology in their daily lives. It helps us to make our life easier and
The influence of the electronic devices, multimedia and computers are the things that dealt with our daily life. Especially the internet that is now giving more importance to each and every one, by giving the newest outstanding media that surely will give the outmost future ahead of us. (Temmel)
The central unit is the basic part of the computer and includes all the main computer parts. It is the heart of the computer system. It is responsible for executing, or running the software. The software programs are translated into a series of codes made up of 1s to 0s that the CPU can understand. Every code means a certain operation should take place.
People in the present society have turned from the use of the old means of communication to the more advanced and technological ways of communicating. Technology has made it easier for people to communicate in a faster, efficient, and cost saving means through the introduction of the communication channels. The world has turned out to be the centre for technology with different technologies emerging daily as the people continue to develop from time to time to cope with the growing technology. The benefits of adopting the communication technology are explained in this article which shows why people do not function without technology.
Computers are helpful because they offer a wide range of functions and services that are not available anywhere else. There are four main uses: word processing, internet/communications, digital video/audio composition, and desktop publishing. Although one can create a typed paper with a typewriter, the computer has more features
An input device is any device that is connected to a computer and transfers information to react or appear on the monitor screen. Code is translated from the device to the machine. For example, a keyboard connected to a computer through a USB cord will tell the computer what letters or characters should appear on the screen. Some example of input and output devices on a computer are printers, mouse, camera, external drives, internet, microphone, and audio speakers. Storage is where information and documents are stored (computer technology, n.d.). The C drive is the primary internal storage on a computer, while a D drive is the secondary. There are also external drives and clouds used for storage. A television is also a device with inputs and
