In Chapter 4 they start out with talking about input devices. An input device is something used to enter information into the computer. Some input devices are microphones, mice, keyboards, ect. They are basically the parts of the computer that we use the most. Output devices are the objects that show us the information that we have put into the computer. They are the monitor, speakers, and printer. Both input and output devices are needed to make computers useful to us. A storage device is the part used to store the data that is on the computer. They are measured in bytes and have a capacity of how much they can hold.

All of the devices that we learned about in this chapter are essential in order to use our computers. I think people are most familiar with input and output devices. I do not know anyone who does not know how to type on a keyboard or look at information on a monitor. Some people might be a little challenged when it comes to saving information on storage devices but I like to believe that most people in today’s society would be able to do that.

This chapter didn’t really tell me a lot that I didn’t know. I look forward to learning about other things rather than parts of a computer.
