An input device is used to transfer information into your computer. When somebody wants to give a presentation on an interactive whiteboard they could use a light pen to touch (that's the pointing bit) the screen to say, open(the input here is 'find this page') a page of further information of an aspect of the presentation topic.
An input device is any peripheral used to provide data and control signals to an information processing system (such as a computer). Input and output devices make up the hardware interface between a computer as a scanneror 6DOFcontroller.

Information system input devices?
Input devices transfer data to an information system and the system processes the data. There are manual input devices and direct data entry devices that are used. Manual devices include keyboards and scanners. Direct data entry devices include smart cards and optical mark recognition.
What two devices are considered input devices?
Keyboard, Mouse, Barcode Reader, Scanner - any device that takes user input.
Why were input devices invented?
Without input devices, the only way to reprogram computers would be to pull them apart and rewire them. In modern computers with integrated circuits that would be impossible. Input devices, such as keyboards, make it much easier to reprogram computers with new instructions and/or data.
What devices do you use to get data into the computer?
Pendrives and card readers
3 What is the general term that applies to all input and output devices?
operating system

What Are Some Examples of Input and Output Devices?
An Input device is a hardware component that is used to enter data and instructions into a computer. There are three general types of Input devices: 1)Keyboards 2)Pointing devices(e.g:mouse,pointing stick,touch screen,graphic tablet, joy stick etc) 3)Source data entry devices(e.g:(1)scaning devices i.e;barcode reader,magnetic-ink character recognition reader(MICR), smart cards, imaging system, etc and (2)audio/video devicesi.e; audio input devices, video input devices and digital camera)
What are the different types of computing devices?

There are many types of peripheral devices, but an example of three would be a printer, scanner,and web cam.
What are the types of inputdevices?
there are many input devices like a scanner or keyboard.
What does input storage processing and output devices have in common?
they are types of hardware
How are pointing and scanning devices different?
A pointing device just changes your location on the screen (moves the cursor). A scanning device converts printed output into digital input for processing by the computer.
