There are 2 types of keyboards:
Alphanumeric keyboard A typical keyboard has 101 keys, with the alphabetic keys Q,W,E,R,T and Y arranged on the upper-left row. There are 12 function keys, a numeric pad, special function keys and cursor-control keys.
Special-function keyboards Are used for specific applications such as the cash register like terminals found in fast food restaurants. Instead of keying the name and price of an order, the cashier only needs to press a button named ‘French Fries’, for example.

Input Device
Types of mouse:
Mechanical mouse Has a rubber/metal ball on its underside. When you move the mouse, the ball moves in the direction the mouse
is moved. Should be placed on a mouse pad that will provides better traction and
protects the ball from dust and dirt build-up.
Optical mouse Does not have moving mechanical parts. It uses a device that emits and sense light to detect the mouse’s
movements. Some optical mouse use optical sensors, while other use laser.
Mouse pad is not needed, does not required cleaning but is more expensive.

Pen or handheld – a pen-like input device that is moved over printed text to be scanned. The scanned data is then transferred to the computer for processing.
Flatbed scanner – is like a photocopy machine. It creates files for the documents scanned in memory instead of on paper.
Drum Scanner – normally used in the publishing industry. Items that need to be scanned are rotated around a stationary scanning mechanism.
Sheet-Fed Scanner – a stationary input device where documents to be scanned are fed. Items to be scanned are pulled into a scanning mechanism.

Printer
A printer is an output device that produces text and graphics on a physical medium such as paper.
Printed information also known as hard copy and is more permanent compared to information displayed on display screens.
There are 2 types of printers:Impact Printers Non-impact Printers

Impact Printers Non-impact printers
Form characters & graphics by striking a mechanism against an inked ribbon. The inked ribbon has physical contacts with the paper.
Form characters & graphics by spraying ink or by using heat/pressure to create images on paper.
Characteristics:- Noisy due to mechanism striking against inked ribbon.- produce near letter-quality printouts (less clear for business letter).- can withstand dusty environments, vibrations & extreme temperatures.- can print through many layers of papers.- normally used to print mailing labels, envelopes & invoices.
Characteristics:- Produce less noise,- produce letter quality (LQ) printouts that are suitable for business use.- print by pages instead of by lines – faster.- can print on various materials such as ordinary A4 paper, glossy paper & transparencies.- print on individual papers.
Types: Dot-matrix printers, Line printers Types: Ink-jet printer, Photo printer, Laser printer

ProjectorsProjector project text, images, videos, etc taken from the computer. The text, images and videos are projected on a large screen to enable large audiences to view them.Types of projectors:
LCD projector DLP projector
Use liquid crystal display technology, attached to a computer and use their own light source, produce low-quality images.
Short for digital light processing, use tiny mirrors to reflect light, produce high-quality images – crisp, bright, colourful images.

How does storage differ from memory?• Storage also called
secondary storage, auxiliary storage, permanent storage, or mass storage
• Storage holds items such as data, instructions, and information for future use
• Storage is nonvolatile
When you want to work with a file, you remove it from storage and place it in memory
When you are finished with the file, you remove it from memory and return it to storage

Storage & Memory
Hard disk
A rigid magnetic disk fixed permanently within a drive unit and used for storing computer data.
Characteristics:1. Consists of several inflexible and circular disks, known as platters. Data
is stored electronically on these platters.2. Capacity of the hard disk is determines by the number of platters the
hard disk has and the composition of the magnetic coating on the patters.
3. Hard disk a susceptible to any type of contamination, that is why hard disks are built to be shock resistant and are sealed tightly to keep out contaminants such as dust, smoke and hair.
