- Input: Directions and instructions you give the computer. Devices that allow you to give input to a computer for example, would be a keyboard, mouse, microphone or webcam.
- Processing: Basically, what the computer does with the instructions it's been given. This is done by several different components of the computer, including the CPU (Central Processing Unit - the "brain" of the computer that does calculations and the like) and the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit - takes orders on what graphics to display on the monitor).
- Output: The focus of your question here. Output is the result of the processed information (finished product, you won't see the actual processes that make the final result unless you have the right setup for you to do so) being displayed to you on an output device (in most cases, a monitor or laptop LCD).
So to put this in application: You're playing a shooting game on your computer, and you click the left mouse button to fire your weapon. You clicking the left mouse button is input. You're sending a command to the computer that you've clicked the left mouse button, and it references with the active program (your game) to see what it should do in response. The program defines that the computer should fire the gun (or more specifically, display the animation and appropriate actions associated with it, including harming a target if the bullet hits), and the computer processes this information. The CPU then send a request to the GPU to display this change that you've requested. The GPU processes this data, then sends the end result to your display. All this occurs in a split-second...in fact, in ideal circumstances that entire process should happen 30-60 times per second, and not to mention all the other requests that the programs on the computer make as well. Behold the complications of how computers work. ;)
(PS: In summary in case you're confused, the stuff you see on your screen is called output. :D )
